You guys don't know anything about heady glass

Great idea, I've heard though that Baddass Ballasts is a better company. True?

Do you really think I could get enough ventilation with a 4" 171cfm inline fan, 6" ducting, 600w HPS with hydrofarm radiant 6 air-cooled reflector IN A 2.5ft x 3.5 ft x 8ft (70 cubic ft) closet?! I feel as though the room is so tiny that a 600w light would be far too hot no matter what with my...

I thought ballasts only dimmed by percentages, like 75%. And 75% would actually be 450w not 400w.

Yeah well im in a 3x3 also bro

No one has an answer for me about bulb brand to buy vs. generic?

What's the best bulb man? Should I get that digilux or is it a waste of money compared to a generic?

why not? didn't you just say it will be brighter? plus isnt this digilux the best bulb? whats the best bulb?

What are the advantages and disadvantages to digital vs magnetic?

Alright word, because through this method I won't have to put the inline fan inside, I can leave it on the outside. I thought that dimmable was the only way to allow for both in the same ballast

So do I need a dimmable ballast to run both 400w and 600w? Or can I run a 400 and 600w both on the same ballast non-dimmable? PS. It is okay to run a 400w on a 75% dimmed 600w ballast? (That comes out to 450w)

As far as I know, a 600w ballast would blow out a 400w bulb. That's what I was told by a hydro store guy, that is why he told me about a dimmable. But i didn't ask enough questions

1) I would need 2 ballasts to do that, though, right?! A lot of money. That's why I was considering dimmable. 2) Could I go Ducting>Reflector>Ducting>Inline fan Outside of tent>Directly into carbon filter? That way I am still pulling the heat out...?

I have a big 6inch carbon filter, the fan is 4inch. Using a 6" to 4" adaptor to connect ducting to fan. Fan has 171cfm. Plenty for my 100cubic foot room. I question your method. Because the filter has a cotton filter wrapped around it for large particles, it is supposed to be the first layer...

Alright so I WILL BE GOING WITH 400W BECAUSE OF ALL MY CONCLUSIONS MADE HERE. I ADDED WHAT I LEARNED TO COMMON SENSE AND RESEARCH AND IT DOES MAKE SENSE TO USE 400W IN MY SITUATION. lol === Alright to the QUESTIONS: 1) With a Dimmable 600w. If I ran it at 75% would that be about the same as a...
