I recently bought a 600w Belgian made HPS bulb that is made by Sli. My hydro guy said it was good, but I don't really think he knows what he is talking about and it was the only 600w bulb he had in.

I have a 1k Hps hooked up to a 1k lumatek electronic ballast. It has setting where I can dim the bulb. I don't want to use 1k worth of energy, and want to know if it would be efficient to dim the light to 60%. I want to know if there are any negative effects of dimming the bulb. Is the same...

Hello All, This is my first post. I have been doing a lot of research on this forum and have used the info I gathered to construct a two room setup using my closet and the adjoining attic. I air-sealed everything. I will have a flowering room using a 1000w HPS and a little nursery in my attic...
