I'm not sure what they are mate I'll have to take a look I just remembered about them they was in a factory hangin by chains way high up had to take um down on a cherry picker. The ballast is made by Phillips an I shunt see no reason why it won't run a mh I'll take a butcher's up in loft inabit an see what it says I think if you look at the 1st page of my thread the pukka 1 there'd a pic of the huge metal shades. If the ballast don't kick out to much heat you might even get away with havin the full unit in there shade anall unless your wanting to run to a a.c. hood or tube...

Eye they'll work but you'll need a different reflector, the spread on those cones are crap.

 

[Closetgardner]

is that easy enough to do mate??

No mate, they're designed for warehouses and aircraft hangers. They do make different reflectors but I reckon one would cost a fortune.

For an extra 30 notes or so you can have a brand new 250w kit, mag ballast, reflector and bulb.

What's your budget?

 

[Closetgardner]

only a ton mate. would the one that ice has be better?

That one's better but I salvaged one of those about 2 years ago and threw it away because the ballast is inside the box bit on the back and would add to the heat in the room.

It's up to you but that's better than the spot light type one.

Shit mate for a ton you can get a nice kit! Can I ask why you only want a 250w? Is your grow room too small for bigger?

yh mate veg room is quite wee for a bigger watt. its 3.5 x3.5 x 10ft. would a 400w in a cool tube be ok for that space?. Tbh i was looking at those industrial ones so i could squeeze all that i could out of the 100 budget

 

[The Yorkshireman]

only a ton mate

250w digital kit for 85 quid.

I'm sure you could get them to swap out the Dual spec HPS for a MH if you want it just for veg.

Oh eye, easy mate.

I've just run upstairs to measure my tent and it's 4 x 4 x 6.8ft and I've got a 600w cooltube in it.

 

[jimmygreenfingers]

I thought it was one of these?

But they have intakes at the bottom.

Haha yeah my bad, that is the one yorkie. They have two inlet holes on the bottom but they are both at the back of the tent mate. My tent needs to go right up against the wall as space is limited so i would need to have the tent 8" or so away from the wall to use thos so i could get ducting in between and i just didnt have the space. Other tents seem to have them on all sides i would have thought something of this size would also have but no, hense why i cut my own. It does have a panel on the sides Velcro with a mess cover to use as a passive intake but this was no good in my situation. Its a decent tent just not very well designed imo, i could ave done better lol.
