That seemed to be the case in that example but no generally that would be a good reason to dim it. I don't want to downplay the heat issue, just saying it's workable. Best (for a typical 5x5 surface) is roughly 90cm / 36" or a little more.and at 24 inches can 1000 watts be fully used?
As I mentioned in another thread, the local forums here are full with myths and parroting so I get the shooting their mouth off, but it's a classic, and it being so consistent (people noticing significant improvements) is why it's so popular. Usually not for beginners cause it's pricey, but once you grow for money... It would certainly not surprise me if 825w gavita >= 1000watt average hps setup. It's a few years old, from a test from 2011, but the data showed clearly that after a year use a gavita and philips DE 1kW still outperform a new average cheapo hps.[/QUOTE]and some one was telling me at running even less then a 1000 watts he was seeing better lighting then his previous 1000 watt set ups. would you say that is true. sometimes its hard to believe gardeners around my area. every one seems to shoot their mouth off about this and that.
