[chan]

hi all,


1 question :
I have 2 lamps 250w HPS in 2 Box… 1 lamp is broken ! work in my building…
the workmen crushed 1 box
I build a 2iem new box !!!

In 1 paperboard it remains to me 1 kit 150w HPS and 1 friend lends 1 to me other 150w HPS ! cool..
BUT : With will 2 lamps 150w HPS there be the same power as a 250w HPS
or not ??? I must Re-buy 1 kit 250w HPS or 2 X 150w HPS are valid ???
1 kit 150w HPS is not very powerful, only...... 2 x 150w HPS ??? I dont no !!!!


Thank U

Re: lumens ?

Not sure what you are asking, but two 150 watt HPS should do as well or even better than just one 250 watt HPS

thank you ! but sorry for my English...
1 escape in a conduit water has to flood my box... the workmen made 1 error with water-conduit of building !
is my question = 2 kits 150 HPS are as powerful as a kit 250 HPS ? OR NOT ? With 150w HPS the penetration is small in the plants. . . I do not know if 2 X 150w HPS make a 250w as well as ?

Let me give this a try...2 150 hps will give you more over all lumens than 1 250 hps but they will be spread out over a further area as it will be 2 bulbs instead of one. The penetration from the 2 150 hps lights will be less but they will produce less heat which should allow you to place them closer making up for some of the penetration loss.
A 150 hps bulb will only work with a 150 hps ballast and a 250 watt HPS will only work with a 250 watt ballast. Mixing them could cause explosions and/or fire.

I do not have a ballast 250w… all the kit 250w hps of the box No1 received water = destroy !
the box No2 with 1 kit 250w hps too, function very well ! lol

I have 1 kit 150w hps (which is not useful to me) and 1 friend leaves has my provision a 2iem kit 150w hps… for no buy a 2iém kit 250w hps for the box No1 !
I will take your council, to assemble the 2 kit 150w in the box No1 ! ! !

150w HPS makes 16000 ? 17000 Lumens ? not ? a 250w hps makes 30.000 ? 33.000 lumens ?
: 2 X 16500 = 34.000 Lumens ! I am in 1 identical power… ?!?
I wish that Buds are as large as with 250w HPS ?........?

Thank U
