Wow I neved realised there was a 150 watt club on here. I just got my floralux 150 a few weeks ago and love it. Its actually cooler in my room than the 10 cfls I was running.

So I'm planning a cabinet for a single tree grow.
Basically it's going to look like this;
2'x2' square, 4' tall.
2x2x4.

I want to use a "Deep Reflector" hortilux & pl lighting make these, if anyone knows a really good deal on these "Deep Reflectors" then please PM me.
Also, since the intensity is aimed to penetrate, would the hood have to be further from the canopy than a regular hood?
The reflector is 9.1"x11.2"x2.3" W/L/D
This gives me 45.7" of space,
but I'll call it 3" so the reflector has some space before the top of cabinet.
I plan on using a 14" tall 5g flowerpot, & growing a plant exactly 24" at final flowering height. This is 38", 3" for hood, 41" this gives me 7" max distance between bulb/canopy.

How hot do these 150w'ers get? Assuming I have good circulation, how close could I put it to the canopy?

Also, I've read most 150w'ers get 16000 Initial Lumens.
These are measured 12" from the bulb correct?
If they are, that would be around 2000-3000 lumens @ 31" from the bulb, the very top of the dirt, so even the very bottom of the plant will get good lighting for the budsites.
And if this is correct, wouldn't 6" from the bulb give it 64,000 lumens?

Thanks for anybody's time, I'm really trying to refine my cabinet to pure science.

I have one big fan and two shitty fans in a closet thats pretty much sealed off and I can keep my floralux about 8 inches from the canopy.

Whatever, that just means I'll have 23" of max space.
No big deal. Thanks, I hope somebody can answer the other one.

I started out with the 150w florolux "mini" hps from htg supply and it was a good little light, it is excellent for beginners. I have since upgraded to a 400w and now use my 150w in my veg cab along with 4 23w cfl's. I do not vent my reflector and I only have one small 4inch clip-on fan blowing between the tops of my plants and the glass and I try to keep it between an inch and a half to 2 inches from the glass to the top of my plant(s). But I have had plants stretch to within a half an inch from the glass without burning. I hope this helps and I wish you good luck on your grow.

I found a spreadsheet, the Initial Lumens are measured somewhere between 6"-7".
@ 4" the 150 gets about 44000 lumens.

I will have to get some serious ventilation, but it will be done.

You should think about shortening that glass sheet. If it was parallel with the canopy/light it would work the best.
It's probably reflecting a lot of light to the left..
Looks great, get us current setup shot.

Pretty bad ass man. I just ordered a blackstar 240 today to go with my 150 hps so hopefully soon ill have some shit like that. I love my floralux though its an awesome lil light. Way better than cfls in my opinion.
