You can find that price on Amazon. Just be warned, a lot of reviewers have reported receiving used bulbs.
Those badboys must be pulling 1300+W from the wall?
5 x 5 area
compared to Hordilux 130,000 inital strt up i comparison 
I get them brand new from my local hydro store
I use Apollo Horticulture brand. Nice equipment and a great price...an outfit called "lowballer" on ebay has a 600 watt package that includes a dimabable digital ballast, MH and HPS bulbs, descent socket and reflector hood, hangers, along with a timer for: $135.00. that includes shipping...all brand new.
That NCCS from Nanolux is awesome! For under $100 you can control just about everything. They said they're expanding it too!5 x 5 area
Tellin you best bang for the buck and to top it off its a smart ballast and 160,000 lumens its going to produce
You can even get the 600 watt unit which you can bump up to 660 watts
put a NCCS light controller and you got the ultimate light system on the market and to top it ll off its 20 percent cheaper then Gavita
Hell yes! Thanks for posting this.
I agree mostly. Double ended hps are really state of the art efficiency in Hid lighting. The old school single endeds still have thier place. Personal use crops and noob growers with limited budgets (hey we all been there) mostly use tents with just one or two lamps. And depending on where you live in alot of situations you might not really need air conditioning. Especially if you use air cooled hoods with insulated ducting with the rite fans and proper ventilation. Largely depends on your areas climate. With hot ass double ended hps its a pretty much a given that you need air conditioning. Preferably mini split style to maximize the room with co2. And all that shit gets pricey to buy...pricey to run.
All that COB stuff is greek to me but that might be changing soon. If the claims are legit iam goi g to start looking into the latest in led technology. Sounds very interesting.
You are where I was 6 months ago. Since then I've ordered 51 modules and taken delivery of just over half of them. The ones that are shining on plants right now are causing their growth to exceed all my expectations.
Have you figured out a way to run cobs vertical?
well i am waiting on my 120 cob order and talking to other suppliers as i am putting up 4 full sized green houses and thinking of adding them into the equation but how i am building mine is genius i mean here would not be hard to stand them up and go vertical now as for running passive round heat sinks i am also making my units reversed air cooled meaning only top of unit where drivers are and heat sinks will be inside havoc and exhaust fan will be pulling cool air on them
Yea seen a few in local hydro store selling $509 a piece, pulling 1200w and dude said they pulling 3lbs off one light.
Yes. There's exactly no reason not to.
Aren't all in one DE's obsolete already though in terms of par output?
