It pisses me off when I order from ebay, pay extra for next day delivery and the cunts still take 5 days to get it here.

Why i always just go for economy. I reckon they just think next day means the delivery method, not it actually arriving next day. They get paid for next day then just twiddle their thumbs for a few days before dispatching it for next day delivery. I mostly use amazon, and go with free super saver wherever possible. Always arrives the day after dispatch :)

5 250s would do better than 1200 (its 1250)nwith 5 250's

better footprint

im biting the bullet today im actually going to a hydro shop. rang up asked a price he saidprices are shit, he said watever u find for online with ebay watever il beat it

fair enough.....

Do expand on the science behind this. I'm sure you are right, but i'd love to know how the footprint can outweigh the huge drop in efficiency you obtain by going for 250w. Lumen to watt, a 1kw is around 45% more efficient than a 250w.

obvisouly a 250 is less than a 1k, its 750 watts less, BUT u run 4x 250, u will increase the lumen output and the area covered is gretly improved.


TT, thought u knew this shit?

hence why i state lumen to watt. It is the same regardless of total wattage. A 1kw is 45% more efficient than 4x250w with regard to lumens per watt. I am genuine in my question having not run multiple lights. Does the improved footprint from 4x250w outweigh the huge difference in aforementioned efficiency.

yes i have run multiple lights from 3k made up of 600s down to 1.2k made up of 600,250,400,250

i had greatly improved results, efficiany as in lekki use? im not that bothered.

think about it, u have a 2x2 tent, u stik 2x600 in it, side by side or end on end,

then the same tent u slink 5x 250 in a rectangle and one in the middle

MASSIVE diffrence. just ow it is..... s u know im no scientist and iinterlectual boffin

pm me what's there rimmer.....im needing to replace or upgrade everything.......i have one prob and i need some help....


i have ran 400w and 600w in a 1.2 loads of times.. But...

now i want either 2x 600w in cooltubes (ices ones) or 1 1000w in a aircooled hood...

im not sure what would be better i hate the fact the back of the bulb area gets much less light.....so 2. 600 back to back would slove this.....

but the penetration from a 1000w from what ive seen the yanks use is so much better......and as a result buds are huge and dense......

any ideas knobbas??
Click to expand...
if u get a 1000 get an xl hood which has a 25 sq ft print, thou s are good for that pro bud look, 2 x 600 would also be monster and would prob yield u more no doubt......but then u would always wonder about the 1000 and still want one ...no...?

A 1kw will cover the same footprint as 4x250w though, and would offer more light. There is a good reason that people opt for 1kw lights not multiple smaller ones.

Aye I have 2 600's now and wonder weather a 1k would be better or not? i know I could keep it cooler with a 1000 but I'll see what yields like first if I'm.smashing yield then it can stay as it is lol
