Those are beautiful plants!!! Is that Sour Diesel? My eyes can't see the difference between the super hps and the ceramic hps. Was there a difference in yield or quality?

Yeah just Google ceramic hps then find the one that says Hortilux EYE Ceramic HPS . Scroll down and enter your zip code ... I found 2 stores in under 7 miles 10 within 25 miles.
Be forewarned that while I see the bulb in stand alone packaging at my local hydro stores I have not physically been there to see them being sold as a stand alone item .

Right??
Cost wise the 550 can be had for just over $800 bucks if you buy the equivalent kit.
More than double the entry cost for a SE 1KW HPS ballast, hood and bulb.
I actually bought a stupid kit and have since replaced 2 bulbs at 75 bucks each.
Im around $550 invested over a year for HID lighting. Next round I'm good but after that I will need a bulb again etc.
While HPS is killing it IMHO I have a lil 65w Samsung QB vegging half of a 2.5x4 closet. The other side has a Mars 300 (135w of blurple) and the mother plants and clones thrive soooo much under the QB their is no doubt my go to for veg.
This side by side will be the industry's best technological advancements in about 5 years. We can truly revisit this question with an HID worthy of comparison in spectrum and hopefully intensity.
Can't wait to see this!

I saw the hlg at my local shop recently, I’m impressed with how bright it is. Have you done a side by side yet and how do you like the hortilux, I need a new light and that seems the best for the price

Do you have any updates on your Eye Hortilux SE600? I've been following the other thread but don't see anything recent from you. I'm about a month into this light and do like it, except for the heat. Have kept it somewhat closer than the recommended 36". This grow is from seed and very slow but I think this light is pretty good.
Booyah!

I was considering using one of these in a 5x5 tent with one plant and a 6"Vortex exhaust. I can't believe nobody has any feedback on these! I was waiting to see one dense nug grown from these before I bought it. Anybody? I grow to smoke buds first and foremost. Seems to really smash the red spectrum.
There's some feedback it's just all bad reviews haha haven't tried it myself but cmh works great

I have a Platinum Led P1200 alongside an SE600. The SE is a nice lamp but is HOT - you do have to keep younger tender plants at the recommended 36" distance or more but as they mature the lamp can be closer. The light penetration is there and lower branches do bud "heavier" than other lamps I have. It does cover about a 4x4. The bud was comparable to the led side, I think the led buds are a bit denser but overall its ok. I used the CHPS bulb it came with. Not sure I'd buy another one to use for flowering with but now trying it out on a veg instead.

Bulb only is available, anyone know if a galaxy grow amp 400/600/turbo will fire it properly?
