I was told that my hortilux 1000wt lights were not made to be taken out of their reflectors to hang verticle. Is there any truth to this? I would think they would just be fine hanging verticle without reflectors. Are there certain bulbs that are required for this?

There are some bulbs that cannot be hung vertically. If you look on the package or online there should be a mounting position listed. Most will say global which means that you can hang it in what ever orientation you wish but some are specific.

Hope that helps.

Bulb position is print on bulb as JK stated. In the part number if there is a "U" that means universal. Can be hung anyway.
I believe the positions are called:
Universal
Base up
Base down
Vertical

Also I've heard that once you start a bulb in a certain position, if you cahnge positions that it may shorten lifespan of bulb. Don't know if that's true or not though.

There is a "universal", "horizontal", and "baseup/base down"

There are very few true base up/ base down bulbs, Hortilux makes the dyalight blue in a 400 and 1000w in a base up /base down configuration. The 400watter is $125.00 and you will probably have to order it...


Hydro store guys will try and tell you it makes no difference what configuration bulb you use, but they are friggin idiots.

Hey, I bought a horizontal only 400w MH bulb once, and here is what happend: if the bulb was placed on vertical position or at an angle other than horizontal, the light spectrum would change to a stronger blue, and the intensity appeared to drop proportionally.
