Anyone used a 615W CMH Dual Ended yet?

[CannaReview]

I'm looking at ballast options for CMH systems and there's seems to be a lot of price discrepancy between manufactures from pretty cheap to expensive Hortilux. Today I was looking at 630 CMH Dual Ended from one manufacture (A Canadian company) and was surprised at the cost. quite a bit cheaper than a dual 315 ballast/shade setup (A customer could save $100 on this vs dual 315) and their 315CMH set up is pretty cheap too and comes with the Philips 315 CMH bulb.

So has anyone tired a 630 CMH dual ened? What's the heat like vs a 600w HPS say in a 4x4 or 5x5 tent?

Eh 630W not 615

Ok got these guys in, wish I had space to test them. Compared to 2x315 ballast/shade combos these are cheap. Aprox $430 for the kit with the bulb or $300 for the ballast and $130 for the bulb.

i see they are lightspeed brand.

i have used their digital ballasts in the past.
they work but honestly did not produce the same product that another 2 digital ballasts and magnetic did.

I have only used the dual 315w bulb kits myself, interested to know how these perform as well.

I’ve been using this light for two yrs (winter only) I couldn’t be happier with the results.

I have 2 de630's in an 8x8 tent, not enough light to cover the whole space, but the plants love it. For now I manage the heat just fine with a 6" fan ducting out the window, but if I get 2 more lights I may have to run an 8" out the window and the 6" blowing in the tent.

I've sold 100's of the black ones over the last 7 years and they worked fine. Were there failures sure but no different than other manufacturers.

How about hydro crunch 630w de? I am trying to figure out if i should buy one 630 de fixture or 2 315's for a 4x4, i figure 2 315's could manage coverage better, but i found a hydro crunch 630w de with Phillips 3100k bulbs for $330 bucks?????? Suggestions
