Does anyone have a guess as to how a 315 cmh light stacks up against a 400 w hps light in the heat department?
Let's say I am not concerned about the greater yield per watt that cmh delivers, nor am I concerned about PAR, lumens, etc, I simply want a comparison on heat. The comparison of heat between a 315 cmh and 600w hps and 1000w hps is pretty clear, but the comparison of a 315 cmh to the heat of a 400w hps is not.
In a 3x3 tent running a 400hps aircooled hood with a 4" vortex running full out I can keep the temp at about 3.5 degrees above ambient temp in the room.
Will I see an improvement on that by switching the light and ballast out with a 315 cmh?
