No i have not the 315 cmh an 600hps tent i run actually runs hotter than the DE when its set to 1100.
I only bought the de as a mate got busted by real estate an i got em cheap.
Heres some marketing for ya.

Last part fkn lie.
I just finished a run with 2x HLG 550 V2 rspecs over a 4x8. For a single light for veg to flower it did a decent job, actually better than I was expecting.
I’ve run the same plant under 1000W HPS before and I think the bud end result under HPS was better, more flavour and a bit stronger. Maybe because there’s no UV with the HLG or the amount of red and IR? The buds with the HLG are definitely denser, although maybe not as large as with the HPS. In saying that though I was using 4x the W with HPS.
I’m thinking of adding some UV during the next run, with some 315 CMH or T5 UV.
For me going LED was due to having to relocate my room and I lost the 12’ ceiling height I had with the Gavita’s. I’ve got no choice than having to use AC and it was heaps cheaper only having to put in 3.5kw and the overall run cost was nothing compared to 4x 1000w DE and 7kw of AC.
I’m still in two minds though.
I’d never put in the deep reflector DE’s again unless I had 12-15’ ceilings, although I’d consider the Hellion CMH and HPS DE’s for another room.
