Okay is this going to be efficient?

Hey, if the heat climbs with the 150 added I would just stick with the 430, Also, the 600W is the most aficient HID when it comes to lumens to watts.
Good luck

Thanks .... I got it up and running its not giving off that much heat .... the temp only a couple of degrees warmer ... it doesn't seem nearly as bright as the 430 when they are side by side, but that to be expected.

I would go with the 600W when I had the doe, but I like the 30 watt of extra color the 430 provides.

I checked to make sure my outlet could handle the extra 165 Watts .... looks like it's going to work out just fine. I'm sure my ladies are going to love the extra light. :greenthumb:

I did some research and found that the lamp will use almost as much watts as my 430! ..... How much power does my lamp really use? Is this worth it? Also I looked at a chart .... they go by PAR ... (PAR Watts objectively measure the total watts of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) emitted by the lamp. It accounts for the nutritional value and is a direct measure of light energy available for all-important plant Rating: 5
