I was thinking of using the splitter in my veg room: 600hps and 400mh (horizontal).
Flower room will have 1000hps (vertical).
Thoughts?
Do you use a flip box of any sort?
It will do a 600 and 400 I think it's gotta be 600 Hps 400 mh. I've got a couple says right on them.I don't think the splitter can do a 600 & a 400. Just two 600's on the boosted 1kw setting.
Thank you for contacting us! You might have trouble getting those combinations to work with the higher wattage lamps. We recommend that you use the combinations listed as we cannot guarantee or warranty any other combinations. You will also not be receiving the intended spectrum of your MH lamp if you were to dim it that drastically (1000w -> 600w/400w).
Side note, there was a little printing error on one of the functional combinations. The 600w HPS and 400 MH combination was printed incorrectly and it is supposed to be 600w HPS and 600w MH.
I just emailed Solis Tek to ask if the splitter would work with 1k bulbs, running them at 600w/400w similar to how you can run a single 1kw bulb at lower wattages with their ballast.
Their reply was:
I also note on the product page it states that it won't actually run them at 600w, but less (500w I'd assume)
My intention was to run 600w & 400w bulbs (actually 600mh & 600hps per the above email from Solis Tek), not dim the 1000w's.
Does that matter? Will it achieve what I'm trying to do for the veg room?
On my solis tek digitals you must use 1000watt bulb either (mh or hps) in the fixture and I dial down from there. Do the new matrix run the same way? And with the splitter do you have to become watt specific with the bulbs?
These are what i have at a spot,running with a powerbox timer and flipbox,works perfect.The Solis Tek STK1000, which afaik has the same lamp driving tech as the matrix just without the timer/controller part, can run 1kw, 600w, or 400w HPS or MH bulbs at any wattage at or lower than the bulbs rated wattage (that is, a 1kw can be run at 1kw with or without boost, 600 or 400, and a 600 can be run at 600 or 400).
Solis tek does the 600 watt 10k spectrum I recommend getting the splitter and doing 2 600watt 10k for veg. The ladies love it!!!I was thinking of using the splitter in my veg room: 600hps and 400mh (horizontal).

If they come out with one that runs at 400V, I'm all in.
You can get the ePapillon 1000w fixtures in 400 volt. Lights Interaction in Holland made them solely in 400v until Dutch Garden Supplies International convinced them to make them in 240 volt for the hobby industry.
So what is the point of these 400v bulbs, Tty? What benefits do they impart compared to it's disadvantages?
