Well if anybody is still on topic. The graviita is good but there are better options. I've been growing under white full spectrum light for yrs, and won't go back to the yellow haze. I'm still pissed at Phillips for discontinuing the 400w CMH 4200k retro white. Best bulb ever low heat and light spectrum was off the visible light chart on both ends (IR & UV). The gravita runs off also but at a much lower intensity.

Solis tech makes a 4000k 1000w conversion bulb with a much better light spectrum than the gravita and you don't have to buy the special hood/ballast.

WORD, got seven CMH retro 400w in stock, 5 x 250w retro white . . . . .

Stinky tasty dank man!!!! Though not the growth performance of a Gavver; BUT if Phillips made a 600W Retro White back then, there'd be no comparison . . . .similar UVb from a 400w Retro as the 600w 400v Phillips Gavver bulb!. AND full spectrum!!!

Brilliant bulbs; story is, someone at Phillips filled HPS bulbs with MH gas, ran 220000 off before mistake was reectified . . . . . .mistake made the best grow light ever!!!!!

Check the range with this:

I shall say no more . . . . nothing makes my personal taste so good. Gavitas are for my patients!!!

Blue spec in ripening for FULLLLLLL flavor!!!!

What is everyone using for lamps, and what do they cost? -EDIT- Do your lamps terminate after a manufactur set amount of run hours? (Single end Phillips do not)

FLOWER = Phillips 600w 400v 1170umol 90,000 Lumens _ Single lamp - Price after shipping $81.50 - Replace each lamp every 24 months
VEG = FL54/T5/865/HO - 54 Watt - T5 High Output - 6500K _ Case of 25 - Price after shipping $79.00 - Replace each lamp every 9 months

I'm about 18 months or so in and still running strong with original lamps in flower.

Ushio 1000w DE pro plus 119.96 2,100 umol

ivioto · Jun 2, 2015

From the Gavita U.S. site.... not the -holland site.
Before skimming quickly and jumping to an opinion, read slowly and attempt to comprehend. Good luck! Because it is a crock of shit!

GAN Electronic 600W 400V
Reduced energy costs

The basic for developing the electronic fitting was the expected energy cost reduction and therefore get relatively higher light output (par/watt). Our experience shows that it is saving energy. It can also be dimmed.

Fitting weight and solid fitting housing

The electronic fitting is small in volume and weighs less than a conventional fitting and gives off less shadow.

Reliable development

The development is an on-going process.
