Yes, but that is only if you're using the 1150 watt setting.
Is this in place of their fixture? Thier article did not explain very well. Is it still hps? would I need gavita's ballast?
That is the bad boy hood. When you air cool it there is actually a pocket above the bulb that pulls the hot air out. You can also pull out the glass if you choose too. To my knowledge there is not a MH DE bulb on the market yet.
Pics? Sorry but this claim is pretty bold imo. I need some proof as my sources don't claim such dramatic improvements.
Probably not. According to a sales rep, they are well engineered for quality and longevity. The ballast is a sealed design. The reason the ballast is affixed to the light upright is because the heat is supposed to more efficiently dissipate off the cooling fins.
what kinds of yields are you seeing from your 4 gavita room ? I have just purchased 4 1000 DE gavitas for a 13 ftx 13ft area with 13 ft high ceilings, thought i needed 6 for a space like this but my buddy insist that i should be good with 4 in an area this size.please some info and feedback
Yields are good. I like Gavitas a lot but like I said, they are not magic. Maybe a 5% to 15% increase in ppfd than your standard single ended digital with mismatched brand bulb. To me thats a big deal.
Is there a special plug for 220v? I have some on hand but I dont know if they are the same style as magnetic ballasts? I have my 1st Gavita Pro 1000 coming in the mail soon!
