Nice man. Where did you go to get that price point!! If you don't mind me asking that is....
That's cool! What sort of light footprint do you get with that?
Are those the 400W retro bulbs?Since 02 . I found they ran cooler then the hps and halide bulbs i was using at the time . Love the expression i get with them........ I was the first grow i ever seen using cmh back in the overgrow days .lol . I still run a triple 400 cmh hood. id post a pick but i dont know how. Sorry.
30 bucks apiece at 1000bulbs. I love full spectrum lighting . Wish they made a 1k ..
Ceramic metal halides - phillips retro white i believeAre those the 400W retro bulbs?
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 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.https://www.1000bulbs.com/product/57200/MHS-040093295.html
this should work.....
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'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.
