I just wanted to comment on another post saying that no one would read all of your post. I did read it all and appreciate the time it took to write it all out thoughtfully. People like this are who "CVCsufferer" who spoke earlier in this thread are looking for, not vague and ambiguous patient...

UPS would be pointless for LED although i bet it would be useful to prevent a HPS from having a hot start. Since the voltage fluctuations dont matter, i guess the line conditioner would be pointless as well. The only thing left is lightning protection and since nothing can stop that, I guess a...

I didn't know the average house was hit by a surge once every 7 years. Good info

so might as well save money and plug into the wall outlet?

Hey thanks I think that's even the same model of conditioner I saw in the previous LED journal that I can't find. One thing- If LEDs have a driver that can effectively deal with fluctuations, then do you think something like a brick wall/ isobar surge protector would be more logical to protect...

Is it recommended to use a power/ line conditioner with LEDs? I've heard LEDs have micoprocessors like computers and the surges can hurt them. A line conditioner seems like the best protection and I've seen LED journals with them which I can not currently find. Wish I could remember what brand...

YES! I think this was him I was just wrong on wattages, thanks man I've been trying to remember his name for 3 days lol + rep

I read a guys LED journal year or 2 ago who did a spectra 180 VS 250 watt hps and the LED won. Who was this guy??? I can't find his posts or remember the name.. was a well documented competition in seperate dr120's. Mike was donating him Spectras, and this is NOT irish boy im talking about, the...

lmao holy shit i did not expect a response to that extent. Any led users here use protection? not irish boy, but the other guy who got spectras donated to him ( what was his name i cant find his posts! ) this guy was pretty set on using a device ( i want to say a special surge protector, kind of...

Is any kind of protection needed for these LEDs? I seem to remember reading a glh spectra grow several years back where he used something like an uninterrupted power supply.

I'm interested in what version these lights are as well. Was in the market a year ago and Spectra was the only proven LED. Now it looks like Advanced has a good diamond series light and Spectra been having troubles. Interested in the current state of Spectra.. users of versions 2 and 3 have...

HAHAHAHA so that explains why she was so amazed... that shit is too funny thanks for the explanation.:joint::joint: The day I get off probation I can guarantee u the levels will return.

That was my first test, so I was allowed to be dirty. I have since quit smoking pot :( I know there are other issues besides pot. That being said, I will not vote for anyone that thinks you should be jailed over a plant. I know it sounds narrow minded to choose a candidate over pot, but...

Thanks Auzzie, even though half my net worth has been wiped out by the government, my resolve has only been strengthened. I am now pursuing membership in my local NORML chapter. Brandon- OK it might be harsh.. but then again so are the MJ laws perpetuated by our leaders.. they must be...

Unfortunately I was busted in March of 2010 and my first drug test was 2 weeks ago. So I go for a follow up report today and the dumb bitch probation officer said my last drug test had one of the highest marijuana levels she had ever seen ( so im laughing my ass of inside my head) Out of...

Speaking of splicing wires i have 25ft 10awg coming off a 20watt breaker. I have to get the outlet about 5 feet further to reach room. I know a knowledgeable electrician. Would a correct splice effect performance on a HPS? Im thinking no but wasn't sure if redirecting power 180 degrees in a...

thx for all the feedback

Holy shit do u think a 1k htg digital greenhouse ballast would hot start? I might have to put the op on hold hearing some shit like that lol, or is this problem mainly with magnetic ballasts? btw there is no user named "bugsrnme"

I've done all the math for amps/breaker/wire but the main thing that concerns me is the hotstarts. I hear power fluctuations can cause them. The house lights flicker from time to time as I'm sure everyones do. This is enough to cause a hot start? I see a ton of people who don't have delay...
