There was a recent article in the Daily Mail that said they were using the abandoned underground tubes for growing plants with led's. They have reached the commercial market....and they are the blue and red ones.

Hey Duchie great to see you back around brotha!
Doobs that wild, so it dripped on there from you melting the ends? Good thing you were around, glad it turned out fine.
Damn 3 pages since last nightstarted a multi reply but soon became aware it would be a mess lol.
No, I'd wrapped the rope twice, loosely, around the rope that suspends the fixture to keep the bulb centered and still when the fans are blowing (so it doesn't swing around like the one in my American Buddly vid), and when I lifted up the light to work on getting it more perpendicular to the ground the rope used as a cross brace loosened and slid down into the light, cutting it in half and leaving a chunk of rope to melt on the glass.

@ DoobieBrother; i dont want to think what would have happened if you hadn't gotten that rope out, ehhhh. are those T12 shop lights you've got your teenagers under? i used to use those but was eventually convinced that a T5 panel was the way to go. Not saying theres anything wrong with T12's.. they run so cool that my plants used to grow right up through them and push them apart! never so much as a scorched leaf.. I love my T5 panel with HO 54's, but they get warm enough to cause some damage if they get too close.

thanks doob, I was pretty pleased with the install for sure..Had to cut out the extra vert with no extra fans for cooling but the 6 is running full and temps are right at 77 so Im happy with that.

Yeppers: T-12 bulbs running 40watts per bulb.
Wouldn't mind running HO T-5's, but I have 6 of these fixtures (only 5 in use, as one needs a new ballast) and am a cheap bastard when it comes to upgrading some things.
But, really, 480 watts is more than enough for my own early-vegging needs, and the lack of heat stress and subsequent ability to grow up to the bulbs without damage before adjusting light height is a bonus.
This run, I am using a GE Lucolux(?) 600w HPS for vegging half of the plants, and 400w of 6500k T-12 for the other half, and the T-12's are kicking the GE HPS bulbs ass by 2:1.
Nodes are tighter, and the plants are more advanced regarding secondary growth, and the plants are overall almost twice as big vegging under the tubes compared to the GE bulb.
Flowering will be different story, naturally, but this GE bulb sucks for vegging.

noice. i didnt know GE made a MH bulb, but i will stay away from it now that I know!
been using a lot of iPower products recently.. hate talking to the people on the phone, most seem to have an attitude (east coast maybe?)
but the products have surprised me. bought some electronic ballasts to replace my old magnetics, and they run super cool and are adjustable(even though i never take it off 100%). the HPS's i have bought from them put out a really cool color too, more pinkish than yellow like the old hortilux. i havent used them long enough to form an opinion one way or another, but like i say, the color they put out is pretty cool. hopefully its not a defect causing the color, lol.
