    What I have read about the difference is lumens tied into the distance that the bulb is from the plants canopy. You have to keep the HPS bulbs higher because of the heat. These run cooler, you make up for the loss in lumens because you are closer to the canopy. There was more to it then that...

    I never said it was a miracle bulb but, what I have said a number of times is the it does the job of both HPS and MH bulbs for much less of a cost, the spectrum is better, the bulb runs cooler and works on a standard HPS ballast.

    Is that the same thread were you told the guy that he shouldn't do it either? I think you said it was an experiment for you and only someone with experience should try it?.... um, here's actually exactly what you said. "I wouldn't rec' you do this unless you have good enough experience. i did...

    In-Line Fan/Blower Muffling/Noise Reduction

    The Speedster is a popular controller, accepts 3 prong. There is also one that is a temperature controlled if you don't want it running all of the time, but from what I understand it's not a variable speed controller, its on or off. EL500 it what I've seen it listed as.

    Push or Pull through Carbon Filter?

    It will work but the filters are designed to suck air through the pre filter for larger debris and then the carbon for odor. If you push air through it, you loose the use of the pre filter and the carbon won't last as long.

    The results are out there, a few are pics of the results others have had are posted in my gallery. I was skeptical at first too. As for it being the greatest thing ever made, I think your really running with something there but if that's the way you read it, you have the wrong perception. Call...

    That's 100% right, CMH bulbs are not new, they have been out for a while.....but they have evolved recently and there are plenty of people using them to grow under. Check out IC's forum, there's a bunch of people learning about them and already using them there......and they have done the...

    Looks like I hit a nerve with you my friend. Sorry about that some people are a little soft skinned I guess. Looks like you can talk the talk but can't show anything to back it up. Thanks for stopping by.:mrgreen:

    Just got the bulb and ballast yesterday, my cab should be somewhat finished this week. Got the Light and Fan mounted today and waiting in the wings are 5 Grape Krush and a freebie seed RGD from Red at Legends currently under CFLs......but there are plenty of others that have had great success...

    Great! post some pics of your results. Let's see what you're talking about and how you are using them for flowering, we are all here to learn. If you have a better way, I'm open to hear about it.

    LOL 95% of that went way over my head. Unlike what people seem to think, I'm not in the lighting business but more important than all of that tech talk are the results I've seen achieved along with the reduced heat output, the cost, how low to the canopy and so on.:mrgreen:

    How can i make my own hydro set up?

    DWC stands for Deep Water Culture, they are also called bubbler systems. Look on ebay, you can see what you will need or you can buy one there. add a light, water, nutrients and female plant and your set.

    :blsmoke:The simple fact is guys, I accomplished what I set out to do. Showed all of you there are other options out there and that you can save a few bucks....actually a good bit. One bulb replaces 2 bulbs that are each twice the cost......and from what I see, it's one of the most popular...

    LOL Yeah, I'm the CEO of Phillips and I figured I could sell more bulbs to pot growers then I could to warehouses or businesses so I decided to pitch them here. I bought my ballast at HTG Supply, I bought a 400 watt HPS set up so I have that bulb too. There are sites that sell just the ballast...

    Haha, I am in sales, I just don't sell light bulbs. It's just habit for me to be "selling" in the way I talk. I also like to instigate a little, it helps keep people's interests up and makes things a little more fun......until someone's feels get hurt, then it's just fucking hilarious...

    HPS, MH, Floros, Phillips Cermamic Metal Halide has 'em all beat.

    I started the thread and I've got nothing to sell you man. I just gave the info that I had learned. To a lot of people, it's a better way to go, it's cheaper then an HPS bulb, and has plenty of other benifits, but, once again, I'm not selling the bulbs. If your looking for them in a hydro...
