Right, and usually you have to deal with design compromises and/or lower quality components.... Not to mention the smaller stuff is produced in small lots and tend to come at a considerable monetary expenditure. It's what drove me to LED in the first place. Really as far as modularity and...

I've been trying to find an answer to this question to no avail..... A 600w fixture would be much more effective for me.... Been trying to get info about growlites new DE 315w CMH bulb, but they're being pretty mum about it.... I'm sure for some HID is convenient, however it's a pain in the...

Just run a really long cord back to the ballast from the other side, what's the worst that could happen :dunce:

Hooked it up backwards there champ. Put the DC side in the wall, No wonder it blew up. :P

Do you guy's plan on offering your ballasts separate from your fixture in the future? Might not be a bad idea if the all starts like it. Double end CMH anyone? I know someone just starting making double end 315w CMH's.

All my power comes from hydroelectric sources.... Very tiny carbon footprint here.

I actually want to build an entire grow room out of that stuff.... Aluminum is almost as easy as working with wood. You can cut aluminum angle on a miter saw with the right blade. Drilling and tapping aluminum is a simple operation with many of the same tools. Wood just isn't as sexy without a...

I marked and drilled holes in the aluminum angle. The alpline 11 plus has mounting holes already, an M3 socket cap machine screw works great.

I have a few tiny seedlings and a stressed out re-vegged mother of said seedlings. Nothing inspiring to show here I'm afraid. Hit me up near the end of summer and I'll have more to show. I've got a better idea of what I want to do and a new setup I'm working on. Endless game of cat and mouse...

Lovely lookin ladies in here.... I'm along in spirit :P

Hmm I have to place an order soon. Might be worth picking one up to play with. Grow some mean lettuce if nothing else. ETA: Zero in stock :P

Those remind me too much of the mercury vapor lamps. They always give me that 'creepy' vibe for some reason or another.... I am actually quite fond of the dull orange glow from my 97 cri vero 18 and would be my first choice for outdoor lighting. Though a crisper white light would probably be...

I'm most interested to see what happens when the price and efficiency ratings of LED and HID fixtures are approximately the same. That is to say when you can get a ~40% efficient, 1000W(actual), LED fixture for ~$500.... Right now those of us building cobs are playing with interior decor...

I don't think anyone was knocking his grow. I also think you'd have a hard time finding any of the resident vendors who do believe that the current (or even up coming) generation of cobs are the end-all-be-all of horticulture lighting.... Rather they're simply lowering the price of initial...

Million and one ways to skin the cat. May find the million and second way before too long.

Your so full of yourself its coming out your ears. Im not desperate to do anything, you do a fine job of discrediting yourself without my assistance. I quoted that post as well. Asking for the other papers you referenced in that post. Again I got called retarded. Any time anyone asks for...

Im not worried about a warranty I want the best tech under the hood. Best bulb ballast and reflector.

Nothing but anecdotes from the peanut gallery.... as usual when asked to demonstrate you come up with another dodge. Ive asked for papers, light recommendations, pics, documentation, every single time you dodge out and post 4 paragraphs of fluff. Or link a paper from ten years ago. Im...

I've heard otherwise. What makes gavita better than the other de fixtures on the market?
