I saw this post and didn’t see the age, I was looking for this, I just switched to 1k de and was going to run the master power or whatever they call it now. I’m still looking...
You growing in a tent? This is really the only DE hood that works for tents.... Sunsystem AC/DE

Renfro not everyone has the luxury of ordering master cases of bulbs that come well packaged! LOL. When you try to order a single philips bulb they always come broken, those two little cardboard tabs that hold them is so pathetic. Philips may make the best bulbs, but they hands down have the worst packaging.

Really might have more to do with the packaging they used to ship them. I have ordered partial packs and never had a problem but the bulbs were packed in a healthy amount of foam peanuts. They also used some tape to hold the bulbs still in the boxes.

Yeah your lucky to get a wrinkled up piece of paper with your bulb in a giant amazon box.

How many lights you running? Thats a lotta fan.
Just a single 1k sir, I wasn’t sure what to expect with my first hydro run with humidity. I had one fan that I would usually run with passive vents but I decided to use forced exhaust and Intake so grabbed another 6”, they are rated little under 500cfm so I knew I was good to go on air exchange haha. I’m also running a small 8000btu ac unit outside the room, where I chill.

Luxx lighting makes the best DE HPS bulb... compare the bulbs in person and you'll notice how they look and feel of higher quality ... also they are half the price of the other brands...at least they were for me with a discount at a local shop

Not the best, Luxx DE is same as digilux and aruna, you will clear after reading my test report
