I have some questions about your company's 315 fixture. Why are you using mogul sockets with pgzx adapters instead of the correct socket? And why are you mounting the lamp horizontally when it's physical characteristics make it perform much better vertically? Do you not realize how asymmetrical the footprint is from that configuration?

These are made and sold by the designer of Welthink ballasts, correct? Can you also please confirm whether the ballast cord length is limited to 6ft like the Philips ballast?
Herb Forester, just send your inquiry to welthink by info@welthink.com, you will get a sasified reply quickly.
Spam much? When you want to meet members with only a few posts (always advertising something), lighting threads are definitely the place. Btw I have a contact at Welthink thanks.Herb Forester, just send your inquiry to welthink by info@welthink.com, you will get a sasified reply quickly.
Troll much? I've been wasting time for over a year and haven't had a single one fail.If they are made by wellthink i wouldnt waste your time.

Still stuck in 2012 huh? Welthink makes great ballasts, their first ones had issues but I haven't had problems in a long time with welthink. Sunplix is a different manufacturer, Im about to be playing around with over 1,000 of them, hoping I can take advantage of their wireless programming and control them with something a little more sophisticated than a tv remote.
2 of 3 ya say? Sorry I posted in the wrong 315 thread, it's just hard to keep track since they're all so full of such excellent feedback as yours.Maybe they are better now but i could not take that chance with the %66 failure rate i had previously.
@pug1010 I think reflectors are so far the weakest link in all these fixtures, the ones with horizontal lamp placement being the worst. I'm not talking from specs and diagrams, but from my actual hands-on comparisons with several lamp and reflector configurations over the past year. My humble advice is go vertical and paint the tips. I'm a little surprised @We Solidarity is going so big on Sunplix but he knows much that I don't.

@We Solidarity,Curious if you have worked with any of the newer LEDs yet,Im seeing a few side by sides claiming better yields off them vs the 315s?any input on that?
Do you mean canopy heat directly below the fixture? I find the vertical ones focus the light pattern much more depending on the lamp height, while horizontals leave one inside surface at the terminal end underlit. The original SS LEC is one I didnt try since it's not remote ballast. Are you painting your lamps? It changes reflector performance drastically and allows more uniform distribution.I haven't run the sunsystem vertical hoods on a large scale yet, only tested them. I didn't see too much difference in the yields between a horizontal and vert bulb, but the sunsystem units were definitely WAY hotter, after a few hours of running in a 4x8 tent they were def throwing out more heat than the grobals or endomaxx did.
Im super stoked on yields regardless, still routinely sitting at a pound per light average in most rooms, the lowest yields come out of our purple indica room, usually 20-25 lbs off 30 lights, which is still over 1 gpw.View attachment 591972
Another thing I dont understand is why anyone would use wireless for networking lights besides maybe a hobby setup. You're already running power and ballast cables anyway, so why not have the reliability of a wired network? Screw wifi, even my PCs are cabled for speed.

Thanks heaps Herb ... good to know. It would a shame to waste such a good light on a poor reflector choice. :)
I'll check out the sun system, phantom and green beams a bit more.
All the best
