Just as simple as I said; Philips 240V only ballast, lamp and cord set, times a dozen. PM me for more details.

just noticed that the sun systems 315 i have on the way has the bulb vertically and the 630 i have now has them horizontally.. just wondering if there is any reason why they have them in different positions?

Is the 630 a DE or 2 separate bulbs? If it's DE that's the reason

LOL how's it going brother? Good to see you around.
I'm getting ready for a quantum build here soon to get the second tent running and compare with the 600W Blue MH, how's those lights treating you?

Damn right..waste of everything on that light setup....hopefully they did not make a lot...

I will be waiting for this to drop (have been for a bit now):

I will soon be doing a qunatum board test vs my 600W Blue MH excited to get that going

Wow didn't think this site was going to get back online...thought it a goner for sure. What the hell happended I couldn't find much news on the two crashes...or was it more?
Anyway... found an even better deal on a DE CMH, here, no color temp as I can find in the ad, but the one that comes with the unit should work for a supplimented (T5 or LED) bloom room (if that is one's intent, as mine may end up being)...it is also Digital and Dimmable:

LOL, no competing brother, it's just nice to share info on new lights. I love testing the different light sources and seeing things first hand and learning more, the more rounded you are as a grower the better you become in my opinion. I'm still a newb but have learned a lot fast thanks mainly to this website and the people I have connected with through here. Glad to see this place back up and when I do the different journals it's just my way of trying to give back and pay it forward in respect and gratitude to those on here that have helped me in many different ways and continue to do so.
The one thing that is starting to become evident to me is that a good grower can just grow and doesn't stress over light source like a lot of people on here, you can grow no matter what, when things happen you adapt and push on, there's always "something".
Keep em green!

@Evil-Mobo yeah, I am kinda in the same boat, though MORE so a noob... Only one grow under any lights and it had to come to an abrupt end after 2 of six were cut... T5 last minute deal....story is in sig links (should they ever recover the pics it would be much better). Between what I learned on that grow and my internet deal hunting putting me in a trance lately....lol; I think with the shopping list I got in the planning stages for my first real, legal MMM grow by mid- late summer, is going to amaze a lot of people should I throw it up... might only journal after the fact all in one shot, though considering the crash (Bust???).....anyway I like the freindly help here and also enjoy hearing I helped someone else out is even better...
Wow, though, I was wondering WHY they didn't have CHPS when I first saw the CMH....guess they had to tweak the composition of the ceramic b4 they got it right...GREAT news, now...how long b4 THOSE prices start coming withing range of MY budget...? LOL

no the 630 has 2 separate bulbs.. it's weird i wonder if you can change the positioning of the bulb

those bulbs make 34,000 lumens for 600w? might as well just hit the atmI will be waiting for this to drop (have been for a bit now):

and withdraw your money, then flush it down the toilet. i have a 200w fixture
that makes the same amount of light. the 315w CDM makes 33,000 lumens!
at 56.6 lumens per watt that's ~20% efficient, so the other 80% is going to
be heat, that's nearly as many btus from a 600 as from a DE 1,000.

Lumens is not the only thing to a light so we will agree to disagree. I never pay attention to Lumens to be honest and have grown with a few different types of lights now. Why? Because it interest me and I want to try it, and I already have a great ballast and solid hood/reflector, so for me it's just a bulb and I can try it out. Will be cheaper for me than a 315 CMH which I have already tested and was a big fan of and will be getting another at some point.

you're not the only one who has the desire to grow with several different lights. i've grown with two different brands of 400w CMH (GE and philips), 315w CDM, 860w, 400w hps/mh, 1000w hps/mh, 250w hps/conversion mh, and three different brands of LED.
do you know what from that list gets the best (and most consistent, regardless of season) results? the lights with the best efficiency.
what produces the best quality? the plant with the best genetics.
grow krome's "the white" and you'll see what i'm talkin' about, 30%+ thc on that plant is a given!
if you want to grow better herb, get better seeds or clones. i'm not saying anything about environment because it's a given, and this conversation is pointless if you can't keep your room in the optimal temperature/humidity/gas mix range.
like i said, i'm all for light experimentation, but that 600w ceramic hps engineer needs to be fired and blacklisted. it makes 480w of heat from a 600w bulb FFS! that's what 20% efficiency means.
