^ very interesting, but it does sound like the "holy grail" of lighting (and so makes me skeptical).
Id hold off on the Gavita Pro 300 LEP. It falls in several areas. It is only considered a supplimental light and can not do the job on its own in flowering. It is required to run with a HPS to do the job. That and the fact that it is only 300w. So when you run it side by side with anything above a 400w HPS you run into issues. As it has a low wattage, it is required to be closer to the plants to be optimal. Which means it should be set closer to the plants than a 600w. This will cause shadowing of the higher mounted HPS. You could always mount them in line with a 600w but it will be at a loss of light (inverse square law)Whatcha guys think of the Gavita Pro Series 300w LEP (Plasma Light) & 600w HPS? Can't remember the PAR rating but the lumen output is 90,000 or more on the 600. Both lights will be somewhere around $1,700. Pricey, but ehh.
I'm trying to score these babies to run alongside each other to do my personal under.

The Luxim emitter that is used is a STA 41-02. I would wait until the new puck is released, the STA 75. It is beleived to offer more than twice the light of the current Gavita 300w LEP with only an additional 150w.
Read about it in the link to this thread.

If your going to invest a lot of money with Plasma, wait for the real thing otherwise you will kick yourself when the STA 75 is released and your purchase has been made redundant.
