I believe those numbers are created to give you the most even equal coverage of the space. So your plants in the far corners are getting just as much light as the ones directly under the lights. I don't believe you always need that much light since people rarely utilize the entire tent, but it gives you a better idea of how much you will need if you choose to do so.Yh I get what your saying, but what I'm saying is judging an area to cover by watts is useless. It's the reason why a led that draws only 100 watts at the Wall is equal to a 250w HPS etc. If you look online it will say stuff like you need 500/600 watts in a 4x4 but you don't at all I've proved this wrong time and time again with what I've grown under the lights I'm using.
Nope. Read what i quoted. 100 led watts = to 250 hps watts. Bullshit.How is it bullshit? How am I able to grow 5 plants under 2 LEDs that draw only 136w and 100w?
I've used these 2.So, what's the best CMH setup? I know the best bulb is the Philips (according to testing)...but what about the reflector and ballast? Please give me some brands to look at. Thanks
Sunsystem , off the top of my head only one I can think of that uses a Phillips 240v ballast and runs the bulb vertically (optimal for Phillips cmh bulbs)So, what's the best CMH setup?

I love my sunsystem fixtures but full price on them is 400+. I got a deal...Sunsystem , off the top of my head only one I can think of that uses a Phillips 240v ballast and runs the bulb vertically (optimal for Phillips cmh bulbs)
Yeah I bought the Sun system Boss 315 and it was costly. I bought it because I thought the ability to dim was a good thing but from what I understand it isn't. Looking back I wish I'd bought a cheaper branded 630. This go around I'm planning on mixing in two HLG 260's with the 315 cmh but I'm planning on having to dim them down, especially since I don't use co2.I love my sunsystem fixtures but full price on them is 400+.

I got the all in one ballast/reflector units on amazon for 200. they usually sell for 400-500.Yeah I bought the Sun system Boss 315 and it was costly.

Bulb included?I got the all in one ballast/reflector units on amazon for 200. they usually sell for 400-500.
Depends where you are as to what's available, but the Revolution Micro Devo 630w (all in one) fixtures are meant to be very good, expensive but almost certainly the best electronics in the business. Low profile for indoor use and uses 2x standard 315w CMH bulbs so you can use the Philips and mix and match the bulbs to your taste. There isn't much info about them and i think they are discontinued but i don't know why..?So, what's the best CMH setup?

The ballast is what decides how the bulb can be run vertical/horizontal?Sunsystem , off the top of my head only one I can think of that uses a Phillips 240v ballast and runs the bulb vertically (optimal for Phillips cmh bulbs)
cycloptics has the best reflector w/ philips bulb mounted verticallySo, what's the best CMH setup? I know the best bulb is the Philips (according to testing)...but what about the reflector and ballast? Please give me some brands to look at. Thanks
Of course, it is discontinued. $300 for a reflector is a bit pricey.cycloptics has the best reflector w/ philips bulb mounted vertically
oops. it was a bit diifferent in that you mounted the unit on the ceiling and kept it there. no raising up and down.Of course, it is discontinued. $300 for a reflector is a bit pricey.
Yeah with the philips bulb. It was a steal. Grow shop by me has a few of them kicking around on the floor used for 250$.Bulb included?
