I am purchasing the new electrode-less magnetic induction bulbs and ballast.
This is a new technology that has been out for about 3 years.
It is far more efficient than most lights, it rivals LED's.
The main advantages:
They produce less heat than hps or MH, doesnt need cool tube, can be down close to plants. Heat is similar to CFL fluorecents.
They produce more light (lumens and pars than cfl's, and 500w produces lumens rival a 1000w MH)
They come in different color temps, 2700, 3600, 6500, and 8700.
They cost much less than LED's per watt, and also cfl's per watt.
Best part... they dont need replace for a VERY LONG TIME. (over 15 years, or 100,000 hours)
These lights have no electrode inside the light... they are a sealed loop tube like a cfl. The gas inside is excited via 2 magnetic rings on the outside of the tube. Thus, there are no parts that wear out.
Its no wonder the american companies dont want us knowing about them, it kills lightbulb sales once you own these.
Bulbs come with ballast.
Bulbs turn on instantly. No wait time for off/on restrikes.
80% power savings.
Regular retail pricing that north american retailers will charge for these is $500-$700+ for the 300w bulbs, and close to a $1000 for the 400w.
I have contacted the factory in china, and they have no problem shipping to me direct.
If you are interested in them, I dont need your money up front, I just need to get a decent count of how many everyone wants.
Complete system, bulb and ballast
The prices im getting them at:
200w $250
300w $350
400w $450
500w $600
you will save over half your electric bill if you get the 400w or 500w to replace the 1000w mh for veg.
I honestly dont believe anything touches a 1000w hps for blooming, but, they claim its close. I do believe that their 500w does out perform a 600w hps tho, it creates more lumens, and more par, and the color temp graph is nearly identical on the 2700 and 3600 color temp graphs to your hps bulbs.
I have found 2 retailers here in the states that carry the 400w, and NO retailers that i can find even carry the 500w systems.
These systems come with a 5 year unconditional warranty on the bulb and ballast (which i can take care of).
These bulbs are designed to replace street lamps, so they work fine in harsh climates.
I am not asking for money, Im simply trying to get a head count on how many to buy based on how many of us want to get one. Once i have them, then i can ship them once i recieve payment from you.
Let me know if you are interested.
Here is a north american retailer so you can check these out....
