if they only realize how many people would jump on that if they had 120v... Very few people have 220/240v lines aside from washer dryer outlets.. I need a house on 1/2 an acre at least... I guess all starts are still the way to go. growers house option is over priced imo.
I know and your right..............don't wanna run a step-up, and most electricians charge $150 to run a dedicated line(depending on length) which is worth it for safety alone. BUT I rent

Philips master colour . Bulb runs on 120-277. CeramaTek ballast on the other hand 200 -277. advanced is supposed to be dropping a 120v. I'd imagine it would be a CeramaTek.I know and your right..............don't wanna run a step-up, and most electricians charge $150 to run a dedicated line(depending on length) which is worth it for safety alone.

I don't understand how they can't see a demand for a true 120v option, shit would sell like hot cakes!!
do you know who makes the 375w cmh bulb in the kit hyroot??? because I can't find it anywhere
I was having that problem, too. Beautiful spectrum chart, hope it isn't a unicorn lolI know and your right..............don't wanna run a step-up, and most electricians charge $150 to run a dedicated line(depending on length) which is worth it for safety alone. BUT I rent

I grow trees, too- and the way I'll be using these bulbs, they'll cover 25 ft² of trellis space apiece. With trees. I'm getting two per stem now, with two year old HPS bulbs. These will certainly improve things, both in terms of yield and quality.
I'd be concerned about loosing efficiency/power using a transformer, and another failure point. I think I'd only do it if I had or put in a 240v circuit, 20A could run 2 of them.
I have good news. I just off the phone with the guy's GEL, and apparently due to a friday fog I misheard him. The ceramatek ballasts are actually 120-277v!
Nice, I had noticed when I think it was hyroot mentioned that they said 120v on the main page. So it's down to this or DIY LED's.I have good news. I just off the phone with the guy's GEL, and apparently due to a friday fog I misheard him. The ceramatek ballasts are actually 120-277v!
Even better news. The 315watt kits are $419 and the 375 watt kits are only $479!!!
People have been running the T12 bulbs in both configurations. It's the T9 that is restricted to closed fixtures only.

I'm in the same boat. cmh or diy cobs...
Yeah, thinking this and use some of those extra LED panels I have using reds only to supplement, that should grow some bud. I may just go for it and be the guinea pig. Just have to get my head around what else I'll need, thinking some form of hood with the right socket but don't those run them horizontal? Sounded like I should be getting the vertical from one of the posts earlier. I'm thinking I should run the ballast outside the room as well so will have to rig that up. I have plenty of 120v sockets in there to run lights only on a dedicated light circuit so I'm good if it runs on 120.
I'm vertical bare bulb with HPS thouies right now. No umbrella necessary or desired. These aren't going to be a problem!
Yes that solves the heat issues in small spaces, but you lose bulb efficiencies when cooling it directly......might be worth the trade-off for some.
I used the umbrella to "catch and bounce"light back towards the plants. The bulb was around 2.5 feet further down.
