My safety meetings are some what unsafe, but you're welcome to join 8-) i need to read more about these white lasers, I hope the tech comes out soon, a white laser that produces red green and blue light would be so awesome for horticulture lighting (well, minus the green), I mean how much more efficient can you get than led? This is supposedly 10-100xfaster than fiber optics also so no more loading screens woo-hoo! And the savings of electric, ohhh the savings would be great :)

@curious old fart - run a temporary 220 line using romex or conduit right through the house.

How old are the wall units? I replaced mine and it ran way cooler and used a tenth of the energy!

Part of the problem is that I have an existing 220 line that just needs be moved about 15'.
The units are about 2 and 3 years old. I just pulled apart another unit that had about 3 years of service before it was replaced and the rear radiator fins are clogged with no way to get to it without destroying the assembly. The unit in the bloom room runs 24/7 is subject to weekly sprays. Hard use, short life.

:peace:

i just bought 2 boulderlamp.com cdl agro 315 watt lamps..paid $500.00 per lamp.. i was told each 315 watt cdl can cover the same area as my 600 watt hps..what is the difference between your growerhouse 315 watt lec and my boulderlamp 315 watt cdl? are they the same thing just different manufacture?
the sep issue of high times did a thing on best grow lamps and the 315 watt cdl actually had better par than a gavita pro de 1150watt at 2 ft from bulb..
i just got them so i cAnt say if they will be better or worse than my 600 watt hps,,but im hopefull as it can really save me on electric costs..ive noticed since switching lamps tighter node space and less stretch in the first 2 weeks of flowering..
so whats the dif between lec and cdl?

Is your lamp hung vertical? I googled your lamp and it looks like your hood is horizontal and slightly different type reflector in general.

Sun Systems LEC 315 is hung vertical and has one of the craziest reflectors i've ever seen.

It looks like 5-9 light bulbs are shining down because of how its set up.

This fixtures MSRP is $599, i got it for a very very good deal. Like I said I paid like $180 out of pocket

Will definitely keep everybody updated on how it performs, i think LEC is where its at. I could have gotten any lighting system for a steal of a price and I chose LEC 315.


CDL = Ceramic Discharge Lamp
CMH = Ceramic Metal Halide
LEC = Light Emitting Ceramic

They are all the same thing i'm pretty sure lol. Just slightly different reflectors
