Bulbs vary greatly by manufacturer.... Afaik... no HID has 99.9% power efficiency (power factor of 999/1000... not even CLOSE... order of magnitude). Hortilux makes high-quality grow bulbs.

The grow show just down the road is getting a few of these. He ran over the specs and my jaw just dropped. I learned something, because I did not know that you could dim a HID light source. I went home, and read about it and learned that it was very do-able. However, I wonder why we have not seen this much yet? I can see why I might do it for heat reasons (hot day, 800w would be easier to cool than 2000w) but then again, I'd rather hire an electrician and get a good AC Installed.

I think I'm going to get one of these for a single stage setup. It seems logical to simply step up your power consumption as your plants are actually going to use the extra energy. I wonder, though, is there any loss in effeciency when running on a dimmed setting?

ya my bad i just found it but i dont see the difference in these and umm do u have to have a conversion bulbs or will just a Metal Halide work? cuz i will more than likely use it mostly for veg and maybe some flowering with a HPS during the winter er sumthing the ballasts looks insane
