I am kind and try to befriend to everyone until they are not to me simple as that. Drifter,
I have experience in HID lighting friend. As long as the canopy is kept even and plants short (under 2 foot tall) a 5x5 room would be fine with 1k in lighting. for another 1 foot strip of floor space around the grow area, even the 1k on a mover would be fine.
Its not that hard to see brother. Youve misread my text

In my first post I said 1k Lamps

I would mix the spectrum.

As everyone was and back to the grow talk now.

cool tubes work great for their purpose. There are only a few drawbacks to them that I can think of. One would be the amount of noise that is usually present when using them because of fans running so much in the area, that is more the fault of any fan that is selected and not the cool tube itself causing that issue though, a quiet fan will give quiet results (of course)

Another issue would be if someone is using a lightmover then it becomes difficult to use a cooltube with them because of the ducting. Giving some extra slack in the duct and tying it back loosely usually solves this issue easily though.

The benefits of the device are simple to weigh IMO. Being able to get the light as close as 2-3 inches from the canopy without any heat issues.

Thanks for that drifter. I'm thinking about maybe getting a 48 incher for my Closet and giving it a go. MAYBE. I dont know I still like the Sunleaves Aurora Sealed and vented Reflectors for this closet idea. Those tubes aint cheap either but i'm quite sure there is payoff. Thanks
Peace

yo medicinecloset that aurora 6 is one reflector i had my eye on for some time around 60 bucks at wormsway right?the dimensions of that refector are perfect for a closet grow i will have it for myself one day go with the aurora 6 man you know its right.great minds think alike dude.lol excellent taste in refectors man.

Heya 4everhydro I appreciate that comment. yeah it is a really nice reflector but I think its actually about100$ for the Aurora 6 unless it's currently on sale. The unflanged and no lens model Aurora is 89$. If your finding it somewhere for 60$ PLEASE let me know where?Haha
Pretty slick and it works just as nicely with cfls from what I understand.
Thanks again and Peace.

DUDES! ENOUGH!

Agree to disagree and move on...

Two brilliant men and two different OPINIONS AND EXPERIANCES!


I can respect that, but that is enough...

This is definately not what it is about...Move on and get over it!

PEACE

2x600W would give you more light than a 1000W

My Agrosun 600W puts out about 95K lumens and 1000W bulbs usually put out about 115K lumens or so.

good thread... looking for info on what to do to my room... I have a 6x7 room i think it is.. I have to measure it but.. I was thinking on running a 1000watt light..
I found this HPS bulb on ebay that puts out 145,000lumens..

New 1000 watt Hortilux Super HPS EN Grow Lamp Lights - eBay (item 260479094385 end time Oct-18-09 12:11:48 PDT)

what do you think of this bulb..
