ALL 600W Metal Halide Lamps are Conversion Lamps

Ushio doesn't talk Lumens. They talk "PAR (ΜMOL/S):" - the proper horticultural rating

Im not sure there all conversions I don't think since ive seen 2 companies claim theres were real MH and not conversions. Go check out a genesis MH 600 and then look at your ushio. There different built. Genesis looks just like a normal 400mh bowling pin shape also why such a huge difference in output? I know ushio doesn't post there lumes now but I know it's 47,000 vs 75000 with genesis. All the conversion MH 600 I've seen are around 50000 lumes where as the only 2 companies I've ever seen claim true MH were both 75,000 lumes and noticeably brighter then conversion versions. Hey when you get a chance and have an extra $50 give one a chance I think you will like them and see what I'm talking about. If you do let me know!

The Genesis is just a cheap Chinese made bulb that Monster Gardens is pimping as their "house brand"
What is the ANSI ballast recommendation for the Genesis lamp?
Most certainly it is S106 which is a 600W HPS ballast designation.
Lumens are only an indicator of a spectrum with more photons in the human vision range. Not a good representation for plant growth :peace:

I don't know the ANSI but I run it on my galaxy 600 set to MH. Here's a video that may be bias because it's from Monster Gardens but I believe it since I have a hortilux 600 and the Genesis smashes it. Start at 9:40-10:50
