Have any of you 1000w DE growers finished a crop under LFSW DE? This is not a poll.

[dbkick]

will you be taking par measurements?

nope.

wow. the entire unit with bulb ballast and reflector is cheaper than the hortilux platinum ballast

Will be interesting to see how those hold up with all of the ballast electronics mounted right on top of the lamp

 

[BOBBY_G]

they seem pretty green. hell their website doesnt even work from the homepage

Which one was that bud? sorry about the attitude early on man . I'm willing to let guy bonds be guy bonds brother.

I've posted my allotted youtubes for the day but wtf , if its the same one though im on my tab and its not easy to post video. 2012 video of the hortilux platinum side by side with high freq sine..

 

[dbkick]

I'll give it a shot and assume you mean the square wave vrs sine done by hortilux.This is not a LFSW DE comparison since LFSW appears to be a new concept in DE, to me it is anyway.
This video even though dealing with SE lamps shows a nice comparison between square and sine wave ballasts.

oh and we cool

 

[dbkick]

oh and we cool

Right on.

It would be interesting to see what the 860 allstarts would do on LFSW ballast. Quick scan of google yields nothing.... I guess no one has tried the combo publicly. I wonder if advanced tech lighting or hortilux would comment on that subject.

Testing this now, in the dissent grow.

Let us know how that turns out!?

Noticeable difference in output? Thats exciting.

Will do!

@dbkick sure thinks so, and he's seen it in running on my mags here. I'd expect easily thirty percent more output, and it's likely running LESS watts doing it; it's a digital unit and so it's almost certainly more efficient than a magnetic ballast and therefore would pull less excess wattage to provide the lamp with the same 1kW.

I'm gettin allllllll jelly!

IS THAT A HORTILUX PLATINUM TURNED DOWN TO 850 OR SOME OTHER BALLAST? sorry to shout

There is no turning the platinum down, I should sneak in there before lights on and put the killawatt meter on it.
