Apparently I smoke way to much marriage-you-wanna! As I was preparing the third light to connect to the others I realized that this MH had a long skinny bulb. Hmmmmm I thought. That pot I just tasted was good. Oh ya, the light. Aren't long skinny ones HPS? So, I go take a look at the balast and it says "use 1000 wt HPS bulb only." Duhhhhhh. Take another hit! All along I thought I had a 1000 wt MH and it was an HPS. Oh well, when all is said and done, I will still get over 300K lumens for about 18 cents per hour. Including my (2) 400 wt MHs for Mothers and Babies I will pay about $100/mo extra in electricity for the whole show. Still doing ok I say!
Razer Reviewed by Razer on . Can a lineal mover handle 3 lights? Hey there sports fans! and garden enthusiasts! Upon your advice I am adding the MH to the 2 HPS in my flower room. The question I have now is... Can my light mover, which is running the two lights now on a trolley, handle the extra light. The grow store says they are designed to handle two, but is three really pushing it? I know this will probably be mostly opinnions, but I'm interested in hearing them. Especially if anyone has had the bad experience of burning up a light rail motor. Rating: 5
