i just bought 2 boulderlamp.com cdl agro 315 watt lamps..paid $500.00 per lamp.. i was told each 315 watt cdl can cover the same area as my 600 watt hps..what is the difference between your growerhouse 315 watt lec and my boulderlamp 315 watt cdl? are they the same thing just different manufacture?
the sep issue of high times did a thing on best grow lamps and the 315 watt cdl actually had better par than a gavita pro de 1150watt at 2 ft from bulb..
i just got them so i cAnt say if they will be better or worse than my 600 watt hps,,but im hopefull as it can really save me on electric costs..ive noticed since switching lamps tighter node space and less stretch in the first 2 weeks of flowering..
so whats the dif between lec and cdl?
Is your lamp hung vertical? I googled your lamp and it looks like your hood is horizontal and slightly different type reflector in general.
Sun Systems LEC 315 is hung vertical and has one of the craziest reflectors i've ever seen.
It looks like 5-9 light bulbs are shining down because of how its set up.
This fixtures MSRP is $599, i got it for a very very good deal. Like I said I paid like $180 out of pocket
Will definitely keep everybody updated on how it performs, i think LEC is where its at. I could have gotten any lighting system for a steal of a price and I chose LEC 315.
CDL = Ceramic Discharge Lamp
CMH = Ceramic Metal Halide
LEC = Light Emitting Ceramic
They are all the same thing i'm pretty sure lol. Just slightly different reflectors
