nobody mentioned?

2 @ 600w = 11 to 12 amp draw

1 @ 1000w = 9 to 10 amp draw

1 @ 600w = 5 to 6 amp draw (here's the only advantage i see)

i've run both. & nothing compares to a 1000y.
a 600y , while using less energy, is my back up.

and, whoever mentioned more shit to go wrong is 100% on point.

and, whoever noted a 600y outperforms a 1000y ...not even accurate.

one ballast vs two
one bulb vs two

1000y is gonna give better results at the cost of more electric & extra heat.
What kind of outdated ballasts are you people using?

My 600 digitals only need 4.25 amps each max which is 8.5 for two.

If you run two 600s you'll not only get more lumens per square foot but you'll use less energy. Per watt a 600 gives out more lumens, fact.

The ONLY benefit of a 1000 over two 600s is if you have limited need for spread.

Sorry wasn't saying it to be rude, I'm just really new at all of this and have went from a 150 watt to (2) 150 watt lights to the 600 and now I have the 1000 watt light so I just really need some help.
What are the sizes of your flower and veg rooms. Thats what's most important to decide what light is best. I'm not sure if you stated this yet or not but I didn't see it.

I want to use a flowering room about 5x5x8 that way I can use the closet with florescent lights for my mother and clones. I guess I'm just trhing to figure which is going to be the best to run, the 600 or the 1000.
