That's pretty heavy on his little flimsy tent poles! We have safeties on it, just in case! The 400 is also very large and nearly fills up the space above the canopy in his 5x5 tent and is prolly 4'x3.5' with reflectors on. the 1000 is very compact... a 6" tube by about 30" long. I will get the exact electrical details and break it down to actual wattage. I know the 1000 is rated @ 11Amps and only draws 8.8A @ 120V. I don't know the exact data on the new 400, so I will have to check on it. I do know the entire purpose was to lower the electric bill with the 400 so we shall see what happens. We are growing out some of my AK-47 strain in dirt for comparison purposes as we have both had plenty of experience with this strain. I will let ya'll know how it grows! Stay tuned!
I'm currently growing with two of these lights...they are awesome...previously I was using two 1000 hps...my electric bill went from 329.00 a month to 189.00 ...no need to run air conditioner temps never surpass 74 deg....I got mine for $795.00 on line...the ballast is piggy backed on the light...you can check these out at Inda Gro.com
