WTF is a "TS"?

I used a 600w HPS for veg and flower and it worked great till I had to pull my plants and destroy everything..The digital ballast caused havoc with my internet ( and my entire neighborhoods internet wtf?) so I am now using a HOT5 set up. If you do get a 600w, I suggest you do not buy it from HTG. Buy a quality american made ballast. Trust me, the extra money you spend will be well worth the many many probs you will likely have if you dont.

in all HPS the "T" stands for tubular mening the shape of the bulb. looking at the TS i thinks its "TUBE SONLITE" or may be the usal way of marketing a HPS is e.g Phillips SON T but the company as changed the letters around to make you think its a better T SON. I know the T stands for the shape of the bulb

Its the type of bulb. The "TS" doesnt affect how the bulb runs, just which fixtures/hoods it will fit in.

If you want to know what bulb is better check the spectrum and lumen output.

HPS tells you the fixtuer the "T" satnds for the shape and the "S" is the color or SON- SON is the variant for "Sun"

other letter such as H" mean the position that the bulb must be hung "H"= horizontal. "U" universal (anyway up/down) "BU" base up.

SON T + OR SON T AGRO = light made for agriculture
i dont know them all?
