question about lights

[Haggardass]

I'm looking at a750 watt phantom ballast right now, getting a good deal on it even to i didn't know they existed lol I just wanna know if anyone had any experience with this ballast, or any 750 watter for that matter. I don't need any more 1000s but want more punch then a600 so I'm just getting opinions. Thanks guys

Poop on those lights........more watts more grams. Although I am tempted to experiment with led guys

Yeah man I personally think they would rock and was looking into getting a couple for a tester setup. I would like to put them in super sun 2's like another member phillthy has setup. Seems a great way and a fine line between 600 and 1000w.

Yeah I know I was thinking of the hps world the led is a different ballgame it seems. I have my doubts that's for sure.............anyways I stand corrected

I would have reservations about buying a 750 watt unit, for the simple reason that your light bulb choices are pretty limited. And before you think that you can get around it by just running 1000 watt bulbs at 750, remember that they aren't as efficient if they're underdriven, meaning you're wasting power and not getting adequate lighting quality.

FWIW, I'm going UP from 1000w lights in sealed hoods for my next purchase; Gavita Proline 1000DE here I come!

LED is great for a nightclub. Not so much for growing in quantity... maybe if the price keeps falling and the diodes get better there will come a time when it makes more sense.
