well maybe for a gavita but you cant say the for a SE hps that bigger hoods are a hustle.
5'x5'
is there an advantage to mounting the ballast away from the hood?5'x5'
Look at the thread above this one. I show one of phantoms hoods that is perfect for a 4'x6' area. And can easily be mounted remotely from ballast
I was going to get the gavita pro 1000. and I think my central air is like 3 ton. I was going to shut all the vents except the ones in the two rooms. and have the 12,000 btu ac blowing as well
It can save some height. If hung with ballast attached you lose about 6 inches.
Bright as hell and will cover 6x6 easy...but hot as hell and you need 3 tons of a/c for 6 lights
ohh i get it. lol had to look at the pic for a second
I have like a 3.5 ton ac in the house so my house will start out cool then I was going to thro 12,000 ectra btu in each room mini splits
This is phantoms other hood. Shown with ballast attached. I have a few of these also.
price spread on 18k-24k is small...so hook up the 24k to be safe.
but the thing is I have hella ac pumping thru my central heat and air. I can get the room down to like 58 degrees if i shut all my vents
I rock 1ton of ac per 2 DE fixtures(1150 watt each) in sealed rooms. Works perfect.
Imo, it's better to get something that's rated higher than you need and run it low, than get something that's going to be running hard to keep up.
