thanks guys i was just curious as to how energy/life it uses up firing up a light. with the lights burning for 18months straight i would be afraid that if i turned them off they would burn out when i try to turn them on again. i use agrosun full spectrum flouros which cost between 17-20 dollars each at the local hydroshops so replacing 8 of them can get expensive. i will replace them before i start my grow again. only a couple more months till my probation is over!!!!!!!
justaseed Reviewed by justaseed on . life expectancy of flouros with all this talk about photoperiods i've seen recently, it's a good time to raise this question again. i have never been able to get a good answer before. i ran my veg chamber(8 4ft flouros) on 24/0 rather than 18/6 because it gets too cold in the closet without the lights on. my question is will a bulb last longer on 24/0 than it will on 18/6? i ask this because, if you think about it, when does a light usually burn out?.........when you first try to turn it on of course. in my experience Rating: 5
