like^^^^................but VERY expensive for 16! /clusters/modules @ 100 pounds a piece
.............still think most of GS's modules still work, just needs new drivers which are dirt cheap==== just match the watts/ma from the old ones. BUT check the "dead" ones first.
I appreciate everyone's input, it only makes sense to fix the fixture. I went ahead and purchased a ballast lumatek 600w with a badass bulb, for now I am trying it out in the small room, if the heat isnt so bad, I will move the af600 into room2 and have the 3 af600s in there... so I ll be able to take my time with the 336x3. I might move her in the vegging tent until I get to it... 8 clusters will still outdo the bs240 and the diamond100 together in the vegging department.like^^^^................but VERY expensive for 16! /clusters/modules @ 100 pounds a piece
hehe ... I sure hope I can run it at full intensity in room2, I had to take it out of room1, too hot and my plants were not grown to have a vertical bulb, I was losing too much light, I might have to go get a set of wings for the bulb... but man it puts out a lot of heat!!Hehe im about to sell my lumatik digital ballast
Careful with that HPS lamp, Santa, don't go cooking yourself, or your plants
Ohhh yeah! LOL HPS crank out tons of heat. How big is the room it's in? Also, what kind of exhaust setup do you have in there? Definitely won't be able to cool it just blowing are around in the room.
Last time I checked were on earth so that's not possible...............where's hyroot at??lol
Ha................you wanna start this again????
6 23w cfls put out more heat than my inda gro 420 combo. why does a 330 watt cmh run the same temps as a 250w hps? all 3 indagros put out less heat than 2 badboy 8 bulb t5's. watts has nothing to do with the amount of heat. watts is a measurement of power
more examples
All of the electricity entering a toaster is converted to heat. Since the purpose of a toaster is to produce heat, it is actually 100% efficient at its intended task.
Electric motors are about 90% efficient, that is, 90% of the electric power is converted to mechanical power. Your garbage disposal transforms most of the electric power into grinding carrot peels, the fan motor in your furnace moves air, and so on.
To analyze the efficiency of heat engines like refrigerators or air conditioners, you need to know some thermodynamics.
.........lol
are you being facetious? you paid quite a bit for those. You only have vegged with them..
I said light efficiencies aside
,.....still it is a general statement with variables left out, I'm not a professor === just a stoner and crappy indoor gardener.
check my recent comment on your thread about your plantsI said light efficiencies aside
Well for starters 600W HPS does not equal 600 actual watts of LED. 600W HPS consumes around 700W. And yes in a perfect world it should raise the ambient the same if you are using watt for watt comparisons, however that is not true. Why? Because of efficiency. Also wattage draw is where the comparison stops. There are no gases or anything else reacting in an LED like an HPS. Sorry but he's right. HPS is going to be definitely warmer. I've grown with HPS for years and even a tiny 150W HPS is way hotter than my 190W XGS. Just like a CMH runs cooler than an MH and HPS also runs cooler than the MH.Ha................you wanna start this again????
So as I said above ^^^we are on EARTH, so light efficiency aside 600watts hid ==== 600watts led=== 600w cfls====600w t5/t8/t12/pll/etc=====600w Induction====so on and so on
AMPS x VOLTS ====== WATTS............. watt====watt..............for the 35th time
1 watt = 1 joule/sec ...............and/or............................. 1 joule = 1 watt/sec
ONE joule is the energy required to heat one gram dry/cool air by 1 degree celcius this shit will never change brother no matter how you spin it. we aren't ignoring physics or the laws of thermodynamics are we???
"energy cannot be created or destroyed"
600 watts(ballast is another 50w) coming out of a ten inch bulb(hps) will FEEL hotter than 600watts of leds spread out over a 3x3 panel (fero 600watt)=====but will raise the ambient room temps exactly the same if they draw the same from the plug.
FACT.......
I saw..........thanks brother.
I am thinking of making the switch from coal to biochar....
