If you are refering to the dual arc bulbs, its my understanding (throught reading, not personal usage) that they are not as intense of a light source... example, 600w hps obviously gets better penetration than a 400w, so when a 600w bulb is split into 2 300w arcs, the intensity suffers as a...

This was along the lines of what I was thinking... once again, I appreciate the prompt response...(+rep) Now its time to sell the idea to the old lady!

I guess my question is, 600w, regardless of how efficiently its used, should in theory come out as 600w of energy, be it in the form of heat or light? I would reason to believe that it would, but I wasn't sure if overall efficiency of the particular source had anything to do with it...And...

And these VHO's run quite a bit hotter than my Badboy I use for veg!

OK, I see... so because I would then have to run an additional fan to air cool, etc., it may actually break even... I vent into a alrge bedroom, temps are not an issue in there because cool weather is upon me, and I have central air in the summer... but if I could mount all the fans, ballast...

So I am near completion of my third smallish medical grow, last one I managed about 6oz, using an eight bulb VHO T5. I am fairly happy with the light, but when I bought my tent, I didn't buy it big enough, so the light forms almost like a blanket over the canopy, and by the time the negative...

re: 480W & 720W Grow LED Hydro - Land Of Clovers well I appreciate the prompt responses... I think I will play it safe and up the fan a bit. This is going to be my first real grow (other than a couple autos unfer flouro's in the closet) and going in to summer, I don't want any issues!

re: 480W & 720W Grow LED Hydro - Land Of Clovers Hey I really hate to use your thread to try to get my questions answered, but this seems to be the place where the people who own these lights are posting...I plan on getting 4X290 panels from GLH (mike is a standup guy, from what I can tell in...

re: 480W & 720W Grow LED Hydro - Land Of Clovers I am fairly new to this community, and will be seeting up for a med grow as soon as I get my darn taxe (mar 22 according to IRS) and after reading several grow threads with the GLH light, I must say I am impressed. I have a neighbor that grow...
