Anytime I did it it was with the 10k Sun Pulse lamps. Not sure if they are still around.
Hmm, I already swap out for MH at the end for the last 10 days or so. Maybe it's not worth supplementing then..
We run 1000w Gavitas, and 1000w Hortilux HPS, in both veg, and flower. 2 x 34w Solacure for every 4 x 4. 2 feet off the canopy, build up to 6-8 hours a day. We use It in both Veg, and Flowering. As soon as seed come up, they are exposed to it.
Solacure also has a built in Reflector. It takes very special/expensive glass to not mess with UVA/B.
The Gavitas have to be at least 36 inches from the canopy... 36-40 inches. We use 8 32w for each Gavita, as its good for 5 x 5- 6 x 5 vs 4 x 4 for the Hortilux. And 40 inches vs 24. We can also often times get them closer, and run less hours. But not on the Gavitas. Anything under 36 inches is pushing it with as much infrared the Gavitas have.
I tested the Solacure T5 lamps this spring. Quite impressive - on first application they singed the flowers a bit and gave a few sun-leaves a bit of a tan. This was with 3 4-ft lamps in a 5x9 tent at 30 inches distance. Then things got frosty after limiting to an hour at midday. One thing I noticed was these lamps didn't show up on my light sensor. I could always see the Lizard 10x lamps light signal, but not with the Solacure lamps. Gonna need a new sensor.
