I used all my existing big kahuna hoods when I made the switch from 600hps/mh to cmh
????
+1 for COBs. I think the 140mm pin fins with CXB-3590's and ideal holders and meanwell drivers are easy enough to build.
Yup.... 315 s ftmfw! ( I like that DT)315 cmh FTMFW
Hands down 315cmh is the 600hps KILLER!
What kind of footprint are you getting with that big hood ? Mine is in a standard sized rectangular hood and it seems to light a 3x3 pretty well. It gets cross lighting from the 600 HPS on either side to help it out. I think I am going to replace every other fixture with CMH, creating a checker board pattern and spectrum for days!I used all my existing big kahuna hoods when I made the switch from 600hps/mh to cmh

If I understand you correctly...
It can be used for both quite effectively. It throws a nice white light that has plenty of reds gut a fir amount of blue and also quite a bit of UV a and b. Great for all stages, and the combo of HPS and CMH in flower will KILL IT!
Don't have one on my veg room... yet.
Cool running, lower power usage, better spectrum, cost effective ( especially when using the conversion kits) .... no brainer for me!

You build your own lights you got any pictures
one on left is a lightimetunnel/roleadro with citi 1212 3000k cobs in it running at 1200mah each (total cost $135). the one on left is diy citi 1818 3000k that can run up to 2100mah, only running 50% right now (total cost $190)You build your own lights you got any pictures

neither of mine compares to 1000w hps, both at 100% is only 350w. However, 1000w of cobs/quantum boards > 1000w hps/mh because cobs/qb's are more efficient. so, being very general because LED performance varies, 800w of cobs/qb's would be about equal to 1000w of hps/mh as far as light output goes.Or better
