Hi John. I was wondering if you would assume 6,000 BTU of cooling for 1,000 watts of fluorescent lighting as you would for HID? I know the HID ballast runs around 2,500 BTU, making up part of that 6,000 value. Is a fluorescent ballast (T5) responsible for approximately 40% of the heat calculation? Or would it require less than 6,000 BTU to cool 1000 watts of fluoro?
Thanks!
I gotta say CJ... you crack me up with the shortness and directness of your replies... but I be looking forward to them now. Keep on keepin on brotha! You vote today?! LOL

plus most of this shit I've said (written) 20 or more times.
I have some power constraints at a commercial location. I have about 50 amps of power available for cooling, per room. What would you suggest to get the most cooling for that amount of amps?
I'm considering three x 3 ton mitsubishi mini splits (4240 max cooling watts @ 230v = 18.5 max amps per unit), but would I be able to get more cooling with a larger York split or package system?
Thanks so much for your expertise.
At this particular location, no, it is single phase 240.Depends. Is it single phase or 3 phase power?
At this particular location, no, it is single phase 240.
However, I'm also planning a new build out at a place that is on 3 phase 208v power, so I'd be curious as to what you would recommend for that as well.
3 -3 ton Mr Slims exceed 50 amps. At max power it would be about 55 amps. If you can get that much, 9 tons, you won't get more from a York.
For the 3 phase place use York 3 phase condensing units.
To calculate the amp load for a larger split unit, can I sum (compressor RLA) + (condensor fan RLA) + (air handler fan FLA) to get an estimate of the total amp draw? Or am I missing something in there?
@Cannabisjohn you ever a/c a greenhouse? We got a 24x24 light dep greenhouse, I want to cool it down for summer we were thinking 2- 3 ton mini splits. Some other guys think I'm crazy but we have plenty of power
