I was looking at this light bank they had at SH Hydroponics and i was wondering if anybody had any experience with these lights before i spent $225 on it. any input would be much apreciated.
 
The link just takes you to their site, but i think you can do better on a real hydroponic site for HID lighting. Their CfL Dual Spectrum High Output Fluorescent Lighting Kit, you can get this at wal-mart for about $30.00 to their $50.00.
I know they're a sponsor, but I think everything's a little costly on that site.:peace:

 
Hey everybody, That's not to high for what you get.3 blubs at $30.00ea plus 3 sockets at $6.00ea and the reflector you would have to build and elec cord it would cost you about $160.00 to DIY it.I looked at those blubs at wal-mart, they are not 105 watts each.Or this wally world here dosent carry them.The ones I saw were 42 watts each,the biggest they had.Save $50.00 bucks and DIY it or get all ready to go hang and plug it in. PEACE
 
20,000 lumens useing 315 watts is not very efficient,and it still gives off heat believe me.why wouldnt you get a 400 hps,that would double the job for 85 more watts on your elec bill.
 
trapper you own this SH Light Bank? I only ask cause I actually did a comparison on some 85 watt CFLs i purchased from 1000bulbs.com vs Stealth Hydro 85 watt Dual Spectrum II CFL's and the SH bulbs were quite significantly cooler.

no i dont order anything off the net,i just dont think 20,ooo lumens is that great when useing 315 watts,but thats just one trappers opinion,thats why you get three differant prices at thel fur auction.
 
Im Growing in way too small of a space to have hot lights its a 26'' by 26'' by 60'' sapce and it only has the intake and ouput fans it isnt built to have a cooling systemfor the lights the heat is what im worried about i dont want hot lights and i was just wondering if anyone could tell me if itd be worth the money to buy the light bank or if it would be cheaper to get a different light and modify my box cause i can compromise the money if its gonna give me more pot and better pot but if it costs less and less hassle and the bud ill get is wstill good cause i like getting GOOD dro ill get the light bank. basically i want the rewards to outweigh the cost
 
how many watts can a single bedroom breaker hold anyway can it hold a 1000w hps and a bubbleponics system or 945w of cfls without pooping the breaker
 
That Depends On The Breaker If It Is 30 Amps It Should Hold 15 Amps Should Hold It Depending On What Else Is On The Circut, the amperage should be printed on the switch in the breaker box , 15, 20, 30
 
so would it be better for flowering to get the flowering configuration they sell wich has 2 27k and 1 50k or would it be better just to load it down with all 27k i was thinking about putting 2 of these light banks in and the middle one is a 50k but i figured i might get better results if i just had all of them 27k
