Then the 140 watts of hps (from Home Depot or where ever) and the 160 watts of fluorescents sounds like the answer.

I went on to the Envirolite web site and checked those out. Interesting but at the end they say that the same amount of watts, say 1000 in Envirolites, generate almost the same heat as a 1000 watt hps. So the only reason they're less heat is because you're talking one 120 watt bulb as compared to a 1000 watt bulb or 600 or 400 or whatever. Seems like you could possibly get a 120 watt mh/hps and have the same amount of light and heat as a 120 Envirolite?

Please enlighten.
Marc Benson Reviewed by Marc Benson on . Places to purchase low watt HPS. I was just wondering where one would go about buying a low watt (150 - 200 watt) HPS light. Mail order is not an option. Also, my grow room is about 3 x 2.5 x 9 ft. Would a lower watt HPS create to much heat? I have no way of venting excess heat. I plan to grow only 2 - 4 Northern Lights with these and I'll be using a few fluros with the HPS, if I can get it. Rating: 5
