Cool. How many were you thinking of getting?
As you probably know, the more you buy, the cheaper it gets. I would be able to deliver for a fee too. Just PM me and we can chat more.

That's cool! What sort of light footprint do you get with that?

I just keep under a 48 inch hood and does well . I like it better than my 1k hoods actually. Although a 1k does have that penetration thing going on but lacks in spectrum compared to these.. Tada...............

Phillips discontinued the 400W retros that run off a magnetic sodium ballast. I have 2 left and can't find any more. I ordered 6 from a guy on Ebay that were supposed to be brand new and he sent me old, used 400 sodium bulbs. Really pissed me off and it took a month to get a refund from Paypal since the guy wouldn't respond.

I'm running the Philips 315W Elite Agro bulb. It is included in the Sun System LEC 315W package.
I believe that Philipps put quite a bit of research in to making this bulb specific for the horticulture industry.
My price is $60 a bulb, with 20,000 hour bulb life till 10% (I think) lumen loss. But I haven't replaced any yet. Just 4 crappy DNA ballasts. I highly DO NOT recommend there products.

I have heard that the GE bulbs need to be in an enclosed fixture because when they fail, it's violent. The arc tube is not encased the same way as the Philips one was.

The 315W EA bulbs are definitely amazing. It's too bad they require a specific ballast but the fixture they are in from Sun Systems is great. The only issue I had with it was I don't have enough height in my tent and the weight is hard on the tent too. Other than that, it's the best bulb I've ever grown under.

I've got 8 ft ceiling and I have them fixed to the ceiling. They are designed with enough room after you mount to allow air flow and cool it. And at 24" they provide a 3 X 3 sqft area with about 600-700 umol/msq. I run 12 in a 20 X 10 tent with CO2. My 2 ton WCAH cycles on and off and keeps the room at 80°/50% RH.
I LOVE THEM!

Here's what I use - veg only but hopefully getting them into flower soon. Really digging it in veg couldn't imagine going back to MH
edit to add - using econowings with them. The cheaper the hood the better with these apparently...
