Looking for a COMPLETE 50Watt HPS system.

[EXP13]

I would recommend you go with CFLs, if only drawing 50 watts ... I did some research here: 55 Watt Compact Fluorescents
and compared those to the 50-watt HPS bulbs ... they put out the same mean Lumens (3600) ... the 55-watt CFL has identical output, without the expense, or the high heat ... just something to think about ... :jointsmile:

I thought about that as well. Good point.

But on the other hand, doesn't the HPS put out more lumen per sq. ft regardless? The CFL lumens will dissapate after a foot whereas the HPS lumens will maintain its luminosity over a greater distance...

I thought that's what was so special about them...
