i dig the spread and use of cross lighting with the Epaps. the
Gavita is a bit less as wide, not by much though. Ive talked to numerous reps from
Gavita, Epap, and DGS (Epap distributor) these hoods were designed for the bulbs they use. the penetration of plants comes from the side angles.
Gavita and Epap are the same unit just with a different hood design. I feel Epaps are superior only because of the way they release heat. it does not entrap in the hood and moves to the top of the room more efficiently. this makes it way easier to control an environment and reduce ur AC use, well if u have the correct ceiling height that is...
i have not run the DE bulbs with Adjust a wings. i dont understand why one would do so when you can get an all in one unit that was designed specifically to run that bulb at max efficiency.
anyways, off subject, anyone know why or heard anything about Philips dropping out of their partnership with
Gavita? for those who dont know,
Gavita has been around for 10+ years, theyve been killing it in agriculture for years. Philips designed a bulb best for cultivation,but they were designed to run on 440v - which the US does not have on a residential level. So
Gavita went back to work with philips to design a ballast that would run the DE bulb @ 240v, which then hit the US market. Just recently,
Gavita mentioned to me that they will be using
Gavita bulbs in all their units now, for Phillips opted out their partnership... so just wondering if anyone has heard why? i was told a generic answer, but was wondering if there was more to the story.
