I think 315s were originally designed to run vert and I'm told their more efficient that way but most fixtures besides cycloptics and some sunsystems run them horizontally.I don't think their designed to be air-cooled either but demons doing it with success so never say never,many ways to skin a cat.I am just learning about LEC, feeling lazy today... and you seem like a nice informative person, so why are these better run vertically? I heard that from the start but I see a lot of horizontal setups.
315 seems plenty over one site, why would I need 630? Seems like overkill... but with lighting, maybe not?
Most bulbs actually have better output and longer bulb life when hung vertically. Cooling any bulb lowers its efficiency, monster gardens has some good informative videos on youtube about lighting. Listen to @DemonTrich about cmh lighting. He definitely helped convince me to try it out and i have no regrets going cmh!I think 315s were originally designed to run vert and I'm told their more efficient that way but most fixtures besides cycloptics and some sunsystems run them horizontally.I don't think their designed to be air-cooled either but demons doing it with success so never say never,many ways to skin a cat.
that's the one you want for a full cycle.the daylight bulb is veg or supplemental.people are switching bk to the 4200k bulb for last two weeks,frosting up more,apparently.
Given the price for a kit, I like the idea of using the same hoods that I have already. They would be vertical, but that sounds like it works fine too, maybe just harder on the bulbs. I looked around a bit and saw ballasts from Phantom for CMH and bulbs sold separately. Is that all I need ? You mention an adapter for mogul? Can you please elaborate?They make cmh adapters to fit in standard mogul sockets.
Fyi: some ballasts have issues firing overn6' cord lengths. Prism ballasts are not effected. I'm runningn7 with 15' socket cords.
So D how far along are you with them now?@hammerhead
Can you post up the cmh bulbs NOT TO USER for safety reasons.
And I read a comment that you was venting it? I have a reg mogul sun system vented hood. Seems it would work fine in that wouldn't u think? How close can I run the light to canopy in vented setup?@hammerhead

And what ballast did you recommend pairing it with.Here is Phillips 315w Mogul base bulb

It's a damn shame that 1 ballast don't fire every bulb from 315 to 1150...
@hammerhead
The one that blew and set your floor on fire. Want aware there more than 1 shitty cmh bulb out there.
