the ballast.

cdm/cmh/lec are all the same, and really is really nothing new as far as bulbs go. its what it driving them that make them what they are now.

those lines you see in pictures/videos of an hps(sine wave high frequency ballast) grow is the bulb flickering so fast the eye cant see it, but is really only producing light half the time that its actually running. the square wave low frequency ballast runs the bulb 100% of the time.

although this vid is about hps lighting for horti, now using low freq square wave ballast in their 1000 watt, it explains what is going on that makes the lec such an efficient light compared to a sine wave high freq


*i used cmh bulbs in my 400 watt for years. better than running horti blues imo

*apparently there are companies claiming square wave, that's aren't so. I'd do some research on that company. Also there are conversion kits so you can run on your current hid hood.

The reason I looked at the cheaper one is because it can be air cooled. All of the 315 kits I have looked at cant be air cooled.

I should put a disclaimer. It's How I understand it from what I've read.

Do elaborate @qwizoking. I'm all ears.

Ever wonder why crappier phones with slow shiutter speeds show lines. I've had phones show the bars in digi ballasts too.

However a professional camera won't show lines in digi or magnetic ime

Also compare with mh




Do i know why?
Don't care to look it up

Aalo take into consideration I'm on a lot of Xanax. I lost a blunt. I think I might have gave it to a dude at the store for half a cig. Idk why I was over there. And I lost my pipe.

I might. I've had quantum Murphy days. I think they are the second worst. Worst are thermodynamic Murphy days. That is when things get worse under pressure.

I have had a couple of quantum thermodynamic Murphy days. They suck all the way up the Y axis.

I also had the days when I would answer Yes to the question "do you have a drug problem?"
Yes.
"What is the problem?"
Continuity of supply.

I am watching Disney's Fantasia. I discovered that Netflix has it on their streaming menu. I believe it is the first feature film I ever saw in a movie theater. Momma took me to see it in the theater; i have a few fragments of memory. Now 48? years later I am seeing it on TV and having jaw-dropping moments as I see again shapes that have lived in my dreams, unattributed. It is frightening how many things from other sources I have misremembered as original ideas.

Almost finished the ATV today. I got the tires mounted, switched the front and rear axles, A-arms, shocks and differentials. Also gave it a full tune up. Tomorrow the paint should be cured enough to put the plastics back on. I still have a seat cover and decals coming.



I'm using a paint/primer combo made for plastics. I sanded with 220 grit to rough up the surface then wiped everything down with acetone to make sure there wasn't any residues.

You need to turbocharge it and add a nitrous bottle.

Cleaned up this old hanger pole thing, had it for years. Tightened bolt on bottom, had gotten a little sloppy, and cleaned with mineral spirits. Spot stained and polyurethaned. The hangers are old pot iron and got new screws for hangers as they didn't all match.

I love old wood.
