I'm using the Multi Spectrum 315 Watt CFL Light Bank with three 85W bulbs, totaling 255W and was wondering if anyone has grow with this reflector? If so, how was it? Thanks!

That thing looks beastly. No experience with it, and it looks a little more expensive than it should be, but if you already have it I think it will do great things.

I made one. not as pretty but it worked ok for veg. I used 3-42w and 1-80w= something like 600w.cost was about 120.00. still went back to 400w hps and left the 3-42w for flower. last grow yeilded just over 7 oz for 9-2 foot plants. will see what happens this time with 8 plants.

315W light bank with 3 85W bulbs? Is this additional to the light bank, or did you substitute bulbs?

I substituted bulbs. The 105W were too hot for my grow cabinet(20" X 30" X 72") and went with the 85's, which are just great for this small space.

The 85W bulbs put out 4200 lumens while the 105W put out 5000 lumens.

The 85W bulbs = 350W Incandescent
