NEW light for me too

[lordsoth666]

Just got a new light yesterday, Sunleaves 400W HPS/MH switchable, it runs sooooo cool (ballast temp) it's unbelievable, in addition to running nice and cool it has the capability to have duct flanges added and air cool the ballast, I had not seen or heard of this before. The reflector is also from sunleaves, it's called the lightwave.

The bulb I got is a regular HPS, Is the regular bulb ok?


Any input appreciated.

i personally have never used combo lights, but i have heard and read great

things about them. i think you got the best of both worlds in one light.

your regular hps should be ok as long as it`s the wattage the fixture calls for.

SWEET...that should bring them on nice..are you gonna use both type's of bulb or just the hps????as mh is better for veg growth..how big is your growroom??i've just upgraded from a 400w street lamp(an it did me proud!!)to a proper 600w growlux with a dutch barn reflector.lot of saving for me that was as i don't sell any of my weed!!just 4 me an the wife!!love an respect SPLIFFBUILDER.

You must be rolling in the money to afford a light system like that.

This setup wasn't all that expensive, about $265.00 I think, everything included. I also have a 150 HPS under that reflector. The funny thing is that the 150W ballast will burn you if you touch it, but I could rest my balls on the 400W ballast, seriously it's like 80 degrees fahrenheit.

Now I'm kinda jelous of your 600 SPLIFFBUILDER.

hi lordsoth,if i were you i'd take the 150w down an let the 400w get on with it.save the 150 as a back up lamp,as if it get's as hot as you say i'ts a fire hazard!!!!aslo i think lamp's are a bit close together...don't want one of them poppin another fire hazard..the 400w i had did the job nice!only i moved house 2 year's ago, an got a bigger growroom now,so i been saving an got me a 600w..sweet.hope this help's...love an respect..spliffbuilder.

I am moving the 150 to another room (I have about 850 square feet of grow space sectioned into 6 rooms) for the purpose of making Feminized seeds, or at least trying. But to be fair to my 150 it does NOT have any casing around the ballast it is a bare transformer, capacitor, and striker, and I hang it from the cieling (eight foot cieling) so nothing comes in contact with it.
