PPFD would be nice.

PPFD would be nice.

Yeah, always!

 

[Pennywise]

That's all I got. Lol

 

[Mars Hydro]

That's all I got. Lol

No problem we have the info in our mind, just John's question remind me maybe we need to add something else that you want to know

 

[Pennywise]

Amps would be important on a bigger grow.

Thanks miss Sara, it draws the same as my Reflector 96 and that's a winner in my book.

We will revising our website info this month. I would like to ask for a favor, what info you care the most? So we will put into the description? Thank you all!

For folks on a budget, please put how many amps does it draws for 110v and 220v.
Thanks Miss Sara and all that helped.

[John Wick]

wattage = amp x voltage.

Close enough Miss Sara, 1.93 amps @110v. Thanks for checking into this.

 

[John Wick]

Roughly 2A @ 110VAC. (232W/110V = 2.109A)

Thank you Old Salt.

According to the spec sheet, I'm way better off using my Reflector 96 all the way around. Thanks Miss Sara, I feel good about making my choice.

Inrush current, or how many can be put on a 15A circuit breaker and turned on at once.

 

[Pennywise]

Yes, my old house was 2x 260w QB's at a time in my 4x4 tent.

...I believe the prudent advice is to stay 20% below the breaker rating...cheerz... ...h00k......

 

[Pennywise]

Good info.

 

[Old Salt]

...I believe the prudent advice is to stay 20% below the breaker rating...cheerz... ...h00k......

I generally stay below 67%. Some devices have a huge inrush current. Motors and power supplies are the worst offenders. The HLG-240-C1700 has an inrush current of more than 75A.

 

[Pennywise]

Damn that’s a lot of amps

Yeah, reflector can always grow great.

Will do Thanks for the advice!

No problem, it is my pleasure.
