I really want to go cob nice cob i have a cheap 800watt cob Chinese knockoff but again cheap. I have 400 viparspectra 300 MarsHydro two 180 ufos not sure brand used i bought those and a 300 cfl Feliz flower bulb. I think even that much cheap light on two plants should do good but it's not. I'm thinking 315 lec may be my best bet. Snasmall space.

All fixed up lol ya soon as it told me it went through i seen all 10 of my posts in a row. Guess I need more special wax chocolates lol

Hey there needs some feedback, I'm purchasing a sun systems lec light. At first I was going with the built in ballast model that sells for 450$

I've seen recently that there is a remote ballast model and a different reflector. Does that run cooler temperatures wise? It's about a 100$ dollars cheaper

I've had both and the remote ballasts will help keep your temps down by 2-4 degrees (provided you keep the ballast outside of the tent).

Thanks I thought so. I'm probably going to order the phantom 315w, I like how they have the updated remote ballast and air cooled option. Cheaper than sun systems too

Killing it there Gen. :0)

Glad to see this still kickin around. Some good info and pretty buds!!!

This is my 4th run with the lec. 40 days in flower with a 10 day veg clones Dark Heart Nursery Chernobyl, SFV Og, the white and Sherbert.

There are somethings you may be able to cheap out on in your room. Your light should not be one on them

Dark Heart has some good cuts and is my favorite clone vendor.
Enjoy the Sherbet, I love that girl.

How's everyone's lec / lfsw phantom ballasts holding up?.........no troubles in paradise?

I had two 315s in a 3x4 tent... the results were awesome. My next setup is going to be a lot smaller, A LOT, been thinking about COB kits from Timber, but I'm worried the results will be less than impressive compared to the two 315s. Anyone ever go from two 315s to COBs?

2 in a 3x4? wow thats a lot of light. why not just downgrade to one light going. you could block off a foot of your tent to make a 3x3 which is the perfect footprint for those imo.

Hey guys/gals, need some honest advice on 315s. Is the majority vote that "Sun Systems 315 LEC" the top of the line with the Phillips Bulb..
There are so many that are so different in price that can even run that bulb,that are much cheaper..Thanks for any help,,have a great day,much love and peace

if it doesnt specifically say "low frequency square wave ballast" dont buy it, otherwise go for it. just because a fixture can run that bulb, doesnt mean it is doing so at the effeciency you are looking for.

From my research the bulb with the highest par and red spike is the Phillips 3100k. The bulb with the highest uv and blue range is the Phillips 4200k. And it is second in PAR.

And it is said that all square wave ballasts are going to drive the bulb properly unlike electronic hps/ mh ballasts that vary on specs.

But I still assume the cheaper ballasts will have more manufacturing issues and failures.

I went with the sun system remote reflector and the galaxy ballast and 3100kbulb at growers house. $360 on sale delivered on Black Friday. Best deal with quality brands I could find.

Ya i Definitely want the best,,just kind of confused about the differences..Mostly alot of what i read is I want the Sun System 315/Phillips Bulb,,but if ppl are pulling identical #s off different brands that happen to be cheaper then I'm all for it,,I run 4000 watts CXbs,and am considering these for the new room,avoiding all the DIYing lol,thanks again

Also I mentioned earlier in this thread that the cheaper remote reflector from SS has a cheaper pebbled reflective insert than the more expensive all in one unit or commercial remote.

But it is very small percentage of reflectivity difference in practice. But is is less reflective and less money and all works on a 110 circuit.
