Holy shit its extra spendy on that sight. From what I here its not worth it. the plants are healthy but not very vigirous. I just go this one..http://stores.indoorgrowsource.com/-strse-276/Lumatek-1000W-High-dsh-Par-Output/Detail.bok
and it is simply amazing. From what I heard from my buddy at the hydro store it dominates hortilux bulbs in a side by side test. makin my plants go insane.
Thanks sticky!! +Rep
I've been using hortilux for a long time and will be getting a new bulb in the near future, maybe i will give that lumatek a shot..
 
Not a problem man. I got it it's first week out. Its like ten bucks more than the hortilux super hps. I got pictures of the growth posted up in my journal. I just started the third week of flowering under it and they look fantastic. It seems like more natural, but very intense light. It's not very bright to our eye's, but you can feel the energy it puts off down on the plants. I'll keep pictures up so you can see the progress. It's my first grow so I can't really compare the two from experience but it's easy to tell that the light is very good for my babies. I have four BIG girls, and four medium sized one's flowering under it in a magnum XXL hood. pretty damn efficient. It also runs fairly cool compared to my hortilux 600 in the veg room.
