so. theres no diff in the flow rate of the electric?. hmm?
dude come on............. doubling yield ????? the way the electric flows??????
please dont just believe what some guy in a bar tells you and do some educated research, you sound young and easily influenced
they are great lights, i have 10............ but they are just lights. they dont double yield and they dont change electric flow....... wow !!!!!!!!!!!!
the curiosity would kill me i would still weigh it under the little scale add a plastic lid to top of scale and deduct the weight ... just me thou but i def wanna know my harvest weight...
hey,come on people.im not extoling anything+ i dont understand electricity.im.not here to tiff man guys.i was simply making a point,observation.

the def of the word extolling means to elevated or raise , simple put he was stating that you are elevating the lights to be greater than they are , and then he explained the lights performance or expected performance , in closing stating that final outcomes are also grower induced

I have seen and held those de bulbs and based on the technology I saw it is probably good for maybe a few months longer then a standard hps bulb.of course the boys at gavita will tell us how efficient and great they r but I dont reallysee it in the grows.guys that are buying them are already killin it and knew how to set up a room beforehand. All the best grows I see and read about on the net are always running bare bulbs vertical, ballast and bulb brands never seem to matter.
I gotta say I been weighing my harvests alot more since I started reading at this site based on some of the ridiculous claims I see lol.if you focus on quality the yields will be there. Dont be bummed if your only hitting .5 gpw if everyone likes your smoke.its so strain dependant I dont even worry about it anymore.i have a spot I know puts out 1gpw with my masterkush, and I toss a sativa under that spot and im lucky to hit.5.
Ty are you saying the ballast is turning 240 volts into 400volts at the bulb? I believe those figures are for cold striking the bulb to light it, not constant volts right?
that sounds like it came right off the gavita salesmans tongue lol.are you saying that ballast turns 240 volts into 400volts constant? if so we should be using that tech to make more power from power and lower our power billso_O

I'm sorry, Spacebomb! I did not mean to sound at all snarky, I was just saying that while you may not fully understand the terms you're using, you did hear correctly that the Gavita (and now others') double ended 1kW HPS system outputs roughly twice the lumens as conventional lighting on the old ANSI S52 standard does.
The new standard calls for operating voltage- what the bulb sees- of 400V, compared to 250V for the old standard. This, plus a more compact bulb that runs hotter, succeeds in making a better light that doesn't suffer from lumen depreciation significantly throughout an expected three year life span. If you want to light a sizeable growing space with HPS from above, this is the proper tool for the job.
To extol something is definitely to sing its praises, but does not itself imply exaggeration.
Watts, or useful work = volts x amps
It doesn't create anything. When voltage goes up, amps come down, all a ballast does is change the ratio of v and a in the equation above, while keeping watts constant.
Your good but im still not convinced they are getting more than 1000 watts out of that 1000 watt bulb ;) what r they claiming for lumens anyhow? Its been a while since I watched that vid someone posted here from the trade show.i was gunna pull the trigger on a pair of 600 untill I realized they use the same bulbs im running basically.
I'm a Damn good salesman. I'm an even better sales tech or engineer.
I have seen gavitas increase GPW significantly over standard bulbs,dont know the exact science behind it but it works.My buddy recently ran 2 tents one with a gavita and one with an AAW,dried weight after harvest was 418 grams for the AAW and something like 460 grams for the gavita,Not a big difference until you consider the gavita was a 600 and the aaw was a 1000!
