I have gotten used to barebulb brightness. Refer any good products you use for eye protection. Talk about seasonal light therapy.

sfguy how do you set up the light rail with a vert bulb. I thought about this, but i do
t have a rail. Do you put bulb inside, collusium style or are you above them?

Lastnight was my first fire up with bare bulbs..
I have 2000 watts vertical. I also just put in a brand new digilux bulb in one fixture. (other is hortilux eye).
I thought it was just my imagination, but I have grown with 2000 watts for a while now - always in cool tubes... and it just was SOOO bright. Is it really due to bare bulbs that much extra light is given off? I have only got a 250 watt HPS bare bulb, so I don't have much to compare to. All the guys I know who grow are either outdoor growers, or are using cool tube set ups.

Sorry - just never seen the difference and thought I was just smug at the new set up....

^^^ yup old man shades I find protect the sides of my eyes.
If I go in with a 10k bare vert and no shades my eyes water for the next day! Don't do it looking direct at the bulb is not good in any shades except shade 5 and up . If you have UVB 4k+ bulbs turn them off if your gonna spend hours in there or you may get a gross red uv burn ...

I got 5,000 vertical bare bulb. I try to wear welding goggles or sunglasses at all times but sometimes you do what you got to do.

Driving at night has become an interesting and frightening experience after spending time in the grow room.

Has anyone tried the Method 7 knock-offs available on amazon for like 30 bucks? I need something else, decent, regular sunglasses don't really cut it for me anymore.

Worth it? Or should I put the 30 towards some M7's because I would be wishing I had anyways?

Good sunglasses are required.

Turn the fucking bulb off and let it cool before working in there, bulb burns are the vert crowd's equivalent of Jeff Foxworthy's 'stupid card'.

Wear your shades around ALL high intensity lighting, including veg; even the light from T5 tubes includes plenty of UV and that's cumulative long term irreversible damage leading to macular degeneration... which is how they'll know what you used to do when you're old.
