I was looking at a lumenAire reflector, but it says it is compatable with Quantum and Sunlight supply Ballasts. Is that because these reflectors just "plug" into the ballasts? Mine are hardwired to their sockets. Could I just disconnect the cord from these reflectors and hardwire my own ballasts to them? That Orca is bright! I hooked up one 1000w light to check it out, and I can't look in the room, never mind the light, for more than a couple of seconds before my eyes start to water. WHY WOULDN'T THAT FORMER POST SHOW UP BEFORE I HAD TO RETYPE? Oh well, nothing better to do I guess...
    The LumenAire will have a male plug with two round pins and one flat one. HydroFarm has three round pins only. What do your ballasts have? If they have three round pins, you can get an adaptor cord about a foot long that will connect the two different cords. Make sure you get the male/female ends right when you buy, they make the cords both ways. You want the BAASR cord model, not the BAASP. Here a link to one:http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-BAASR-CO...item1c20b4a689 If you hardwire them, it will be difficult moving them around, plus it will void any warranty you have. Where are you measuring your temps? At the canopy? Funny, I expected to see concrete walls, don't know why I assumed it was an unfinished basement.

    It is unfinished. Only the three rooms with subfloor and 70's panelling for the walls. Each room is roughly 8l x 6w x 7h. The rest is all concrete. Nice and cool! My ballasts, one a high-lite, another a no-name, plugs into any standard outlet. Two flat prongs, and one round one on the bottom. Room is empty right now, so temp is on a chair about2 feet off ground. One cord goes to the wall, the other is hardwired to its own socket. Same on all 3 ballasts. 2x1000w, and 1x600w.

    Don't know if anyone answered this for you or not but don't cut the cords on the ballasts. You would need to get a adapter cord for it.

    They also have the ones that switch it the other way from Sun System to Hydrofarm.
