yes standard one i didn't plugged anything to convert.(i am not living in usa.) Here is 220v default.
By the way i decided to go 18/6.
some says its better for plant some says no and some says no difference just another confusing topic.
What about if i use 5x27w cfl for vegetating ? then put...
i measured 20 mins from bulb on and 20 mins from bulb off
if i did it correct it consumes 234watt
so i need to look for somewhere else!
thanks a lot guyz
I bought bulb and ballast just 10 days ago.
I was receiving $70-$75 a month before growing and now received $115 already from last month which is light was on for first 5 days.
Everything is normal at the home i didn't added anything, only my growing equipment which is only one 250w hps lamp...
yes its standart plug. Its 250watt not 400.
And yes i was using 24/7 until i received the skyrocket bill :) now 18/6.
So u mean regardless what it says on ballast about A, it will use 250watt or max 300watt power.
then i must look for another reason.
Hi
I have Philips 250w Pia Plus HPS (32000lm) (new)
and my ballast is a local brand and written such things on it:
Volt: 220
A: 3
Watt : 250W
and one trigger attached with it also ballast is not new.
here is my question: what is the actual power consumption in watt?
if my ballast is shitting...
