Greetings to all and sundry
,
I have recently aquired a new 600W HPS Ballast (old skool magnetic) & Globe via EBAY - its a Grow Lush (brand) for $100 bucks (120 delivered). The ballast claims to be "High Output" and the globe claims 20% more light than standard HPS lamps - which on the surface seems to be all well and good.
My doubts begin when reading the box the globe has arrived in, it reads:
Natural light alternitive for professional growers
24 Hour daylight alternative
20% more light
long life ..... blah blah blah...
"24 Hour daylight alternative" & "Natural light alternative" - do you peeps think that that means it would be inadequate to use for Flowering (& maybe even not all that good for veg)
??
It also seems to run really hot too...![Neutral :neutral: :neutral:](/styles/smilies/icon_neutral.gif)
Does any one out there have any experiance with growlush equipment? in particular the globes?.
O yea, i almost forgot- i can grab a growlush digital balast for like $180, any one used em??
Generally speaking is it worth ditching my ancient 400W magnetic ballast and upgrading to the digi
??
