first, I ordered the Thunder kit because it has a 5 year warranty, it came with a tube light reflector. I do not have a wind tunnel to hook it to. Will it burn up with no air? Can I remove the glass? I tried soldering a airmat filler up, but it didn't work. I shouldn't shop dumpster... Even if I do get air it is not this month..
next off no complaints but i never saw this light bulb spec? 1000W MH 4,200K? 1000W HPS 2,000K? I thought all the 1000W were the same and does K equal lux? I was expecting 55,000 lux at canopy per 4' X 4' in total dark. Which I am only supplementing. the boxes look older. Do I need better bulbs for 50,000 lux?
Another thing, I noticed 400W 600W 1000W kits and kits that did it all. I only paid for 1000W and am glad I looked at the dial. It came set on 1100W. this one has four settings. SCORE?
so take the glass out? get a thrift store fan? dont worry it wont break? new bulbs? will the UVB get through the glass?
