Club 315w lec

Well, I might just pull the trigger on 3x 315 and use them in veg for starters.

Time to start digging thru pages and pages of hoods.

What brand and style AC were you using?

350sq ft is a HUGE space for 4 lights. Most people have 100 sq ft for 4 lights.

I was curious about that space as well....comes out to around an 18' square.....

3.5 x 6 3 315lec

Last week's pics..will update this week pics.

Genuity Killing it!

Or just hang them bare.

In veg I don't run ac. All 6x600 are in air cooled hoods. If I run open bulbs, or no glass, I might have heat issues. They make an adapter for a mogul socket to take a Phillips 315 bulb

if ur gonna run sealed hoods i would go with the non-open rated lamps. It'll save a layer of glass to go thru.

There are T12 to mogul adapters around, saw some on ebay and the like. They also make a mogul version of the 315, they're just difficult to find but they're out there. Best place was advancedtechlighting.com but they shut the site down a while back

Then I just need to source the ballasts.

every CMH ballast has some bad reviews. i run 6 sunplix, not avalible online tho. if ur going online i would choose by CSM, and return policies.

I refuse to run anything from hydrofarm. Shit ass products. Galaxy has a ballast.

could always call them. sure they can help

Is that not a phantom II copy? Alot of bad reviews on the phantomII as well.

to be honest idk, cuz i can get u 5 of them unbranded for 500 from china. looks dead on to them both. though this plant just opened.

I'd like to stick with local incase I need warranty return.

yea, i get all my hardware local... returns, service, and keep money in the area all good reasons. think ima part with my nanolux, and get 6 more of the remote ballast. when i IR the ballast it runs around 100*, be nice to remove that from the room and spread the lights out abit more. they also make a 315w & 630w DE lamp.

Not sure what was up with that guy, I got mine from him shortly before it went out of business. He acted weird, wanted me to keep bugging him until he got the order or to me- so I did. It still took a week.

I ended up with a dozen of his Philips ballasts and a dozen mogul socket base 315W CMH lights in 4100K. I use them (not all of them, only a few!) in veg where they stomp serious ass for me.

Ok, so ordering my upgrade shortly

3x315cmh in veg
Phillips bulbs made for enclosed hoods, 3x mogul socket adapters
3x ballasts

4x315 cmh for flower
Phillips bulbs made for enclosed hoods, 4x mogul socket adapters
4x ballasts
1 more big kahuna hood

Waiting for sunplix.com to get back to me about 7 ballasts.

Looks like another room reformat/rebuild.

Edit:
Almost forgot, I'll buy 4x 315 bulbs (2x 3100, 2x4200) and 2x ballasts as backups.
