Agreed... only thing I'd do, as they are 315s, is run two, but for space and using one, it's just a bit more costly. Then again, you get what you pay for. But def listen to @StandingRock and check those out. Some good grow threads here on the farm of people rocking the CMh'sI know you're asking about hps but I've been hearing guys using ceramic metal halide and getting the same yields and a higher quality product. Check it out.
Sun master use cheapest of the cheap Chinese and stuck there brand on there if I call into the shop later I will show u exactly what I mean this subject has popped up now with various people on various threads. Imho u won't go wrong with lumatek bulb with your ballast ask him at the shop to open u up a cheap budget bulb and ask him to open up a lumatek bulb and as soon as u open the box and get the bulbs in your hand the price diffrence is noticed hope this helps BroFeel free anyone to chip in here please. Tagged a few names at the bottom but anyone experienced with HPS lighting is who this is aimed at. Asked the guy at the hydro shop but he clearly didn't have a clue what he was talking about I.e he just works there and doesn't grow. What do you all think of sunmaster hps bulbs? I need a bulb that's digital ballast compatible, I've got a 600w lumatek digital ballast, I'm not into buying cheap, I'll buy expensive if need be, I don't want to grow any mid shelf bud. I brought this question up in the chat shit thread but never really came to a conclusion. Your opinions are like always very much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Or these :)
Or these too tbh there's a few just try and stay away from the dreaded £10 bulbs or the £20 sun master (really cheap £10 bulb) :cry:solistek make great bulbs
check them out here -
maybe you cant buy in uk but i just order from amazon usa :)
How u getting on bro long time no see and how u getting on with them 315s any thoughts on getting the 630's mine is still sat in the box waiting for me to get a minute to start work on the little projectI used to rock apollo bulbs. Cheap enough to use a new one every run. Always great results.
In the past I started with MH and ended with HPS. Then I just ran the Eye Hortilux 1k bulbs all the way through but dialed down at the beginning. I've also tried the Ushio brand with equal success. I tested output regularly and never noticed a drop in output, even three years later.
Any thoughts on the idea you have to replace bulbs often to keep high output? I ran the hortilux and the Ushio side by side and neither seemed to drop in output?
It's been a few years for me so I like what someone pointed out above. Maybe check recent quality and see where they were made. If I'm not mistaken the Ushio are made in Germany.
