Gavita Pro 600 lamp: anybody using one? experiences?

I found three of the 600W bulbs in my garage, the guy who live in my place I live now left them. I figured they were for growing as soon as I saw them. Jackpot! Only part that sucks is I did not find the lamp for the bulbs. Tried selling them online but not a single person wants to buy just bulbs. I'd be interested to find out if you have success with Gavita. From the responses I got its no a preferred brand, but Im all need to this. Let me know if you set that up.

Answered through distributor. They were used internal reflector lamps, but with the original Russian arc tube. Gavita has these lamps built too at the same factory, but with a revised framewire and a custom arc tube from a different manufacturer to be more suitable for horticulture. So this is not a Gavita lamp after all.

Hey whazzup, what's up? Haven't pulled the plug on equipment for my new room but have decided on gavita for lights. I first wanted 4 de1000's for my basement but I don't think I have the height (7'9"). Would the 600's work out better for a basement grower and if so what would the design parameters( bulb spacing) be for 6 600's? what distance from light to canopy? Thanks again for your infinite wisdom.

Hey all, I am running 6k watts in my room (11x10 effective) and its time to either replace my reflectors and bulbs or upgrade to gavita 600's. I have 8' ceilings so from what I've read the 1000w Gavitas need to much clearance (36"- 48"). So my conundrum is do I buy the Gavita 600's instead even though I will lose wattage? How many do you guys recommend in that size space?

I seen them on light movers over 4'x6' trays. Works great.

This thread is old, now Gavita offers a 600/750 DE, probably perfect for your replacement.
