Good spot to share 315w info. Been running 2 of them perpetual for close to 2 years now. They rock watt-for-watt against hps, typically about 25% more weight, and quality is better than hps imo. My son was a die hard hps grower until he saw what I was getting with these Sun Systems LEC's. We converted his grow watt-for-watt with these LEC's and he's been consistently pulling 25-30% more weight and is very happy with the quality. He just bought another 10 units for his expansion, no going back to hps for him if that tells you anything. I just swapped out one of the units to see how 3590 COBs stack against the LEC's but the LEC's aren't going away, will likely run a combo of COBs/LEC through summer and LEC's through the winter.

GroERR Welcome to the party!!!!!
those plants look amazing. how many 315s are you running in that room?

A lot of the the reason i picked up the lec is because of the things i learned from GroErr's thread.

thank you for bring one of the first to actually put out really information about the light.

Talking about the sun system lec315

I paid $450 for mine and it came with a bulb. if you add up the cost of a good hps ballast, hood, and bulb it is about the same as a hps set up.
I'm not sure if im ever going back to hps. i may need to buy a few more of the sun systems.

Does anyone know if any other lamp producers plan on getting into the LEC game? i would love to see more bulb options

Now, do you use the lec315 for veg and flower? Just flip it when it's time?

Plugs into 110?

I'm using a 400 mh currantly for veg and the 315 for flower. growing 4 plants perpetually. I was running a 1000w hps but wanted to down size.
i have not completed a whole run under it yet but i had a few that were already flowing under the hps then finished under the lec. It really seems like the plant matures faster under the lec. I will say the buds im currently growing seem to be larger the what i was doing under the 1000w.

i grew in a 4x4 with a 1k perpetual and the best i ever hit was .5 per watt. It appears that my first complete run with the lec i will hit well over 1 gram per watt.

Cheers and thanks Bob, glad you got in on these! Have 2 sets in there, 4x 3gal at the back and just finishing up 9x 2gal at the front in a phenol hunt. I just try and fill 3x3' and up to 3.5x3.5' under each light. Good luck!

Hmm universal position but no open rated proclamation in the specs. Philips 315w/ 930 pgz18

If the lamp does not have an O in the part number it's not open rated and must be run in an enclosed fixture. Mercury must not be allowed to escape the lamp and enter the growing space in case of lamp failure.
