As the title says, just wondering if anyone has used these lamps yet, I imagine 830W of CMH awesomeness would produce some amazing results, anyone got any to share?

Damn! That looks tasty. What ballast would you use for that? A 1000W magnetic?

Well I can't find anything on their site that specifies what ballast to use but I heard that it takes a 1000W HPS magnetic and I believe Philips makes a digital one specifically for it. Apparently there vertical burn only so you'll need that type of hood or reflector, keep that in mind. Someone has got to try one of these bad boys and post their results, if I had the means I would in a heart beat, SOMEBODY PLEASE GET ONE AND LET US KNOW HOW IT DOSE?????

I just read that they're not actually for sale yet. But should be pretty soon hopefully.

I also mentioned this on another thread today but more googling has lead me here...
These 830s seem to have disappeared and now Phillips have a 860w cdm. Is cdm same as cmh?
Also there are two different models of this 860 but I can't seem to work out how they are different...

This is the link to the Philips Site that shows them

Do you think I would be able to run one with a digi ballast from these guys

What do you reckon?

In a 4x4 tent hanging vert would it be better to put this 860 or would two 400s get better distribution and less heat maybe? ?
