Got any pictures of the new equipment

Not sure if the info can be leaked yet, I'll post it up after speaking with the right people.

Gavita does have a specific frequency with the Phillips 400v bulb and after extensive testing with a pricey Spectrometer and PAR meter, the Gavita is on the top for output.

Soon boys... Very soon...
Had to sign a non disclosure today, things are getting intense here..

The testing is still being done and the individual will be organizing all the data soon and publishing it. The test results between the E-pap and Gavita are nuts!

Nuts as in how good or bad they did against the others

In my opinion there isn't a fixture that can beat the Gavita for efficiency. It was tuned specifically to run the Phillips making it the perfect combo.

That being said...

My company has a very strong relationship with the owner of Power Box but we do not carry his ballasts. From what I can see it's a standard ballast, like the new phantom, yes it can run DE bulbs but it certainly isn't tuned to run a specific one.

All I can say at this time is the Gavita destroyed the E-Pap in all areas of our testing.

@GR33NL3AF

Hey man, Ive done a little looking in on these DE bulbs and so on. I have been told by 2 different sources that Phillips is getting out of the horticultural lighting biz. (Which I find hard to believe.) You have any insight? Same folk say Ushio is going to be the go to source for the similar results of the Phillips bulb that gavita has their name on.

Also what ballast other than gavita pro would you recommend running in a remote ballast setup with an ushio or phillips DE bulb? It appears the Galaxy turbo charge or phantom would work well, and save a buck or two in the mean time.

thanks

Gavita's digistar is the shit and the phantom is the other that I would recommend for your DE application, they support the 400v.

Haven't heard this about Phillips but I'll look into it. It would be a horrible business move on their part because we're getting calls daily for 100+ gavita fixtures. The commercial industry is picking up big time and gavita is the 'go to' fixture.

The ushio is a great alternative but Genesis has a DE coming out very soon and I use their HPS in all my rooms. Their bulb is specifically formulated for cannabis and they'll admit it.

How did the gavita do against the sunlight DE Boss and AC-DE paired to a gavita remote ballast and Phillips bulb

fishwhistle · Jul 3, 2014

Ive heard the same as green punk but what i heard was philips didnt want to be connected to the MJ business and gavita was going to start marketing bulbs under their name(maybe still manufactured by philips but branded gavita?).Doesnt make sense for philips to get out of all horticultural lighting though,they seem to be the biggest in the business,gavita has been eerily silent lately.Its also possible philips has some kind of exclusive with e-pap maybe?
Notice on gavitas facebook it mentions gavita bulbs but no reference to philips,

Can't say yet, we have done the tests but the numbers won't be published until we're done testing everything.
