So the black and white and green wires go to their respective friends on your outlet cord. From the fixture side, green goes to the same green on the outlet cord. The other two go to the black and white wires from the fixture- doesn't matter which goes to which, that's why they aren't black n white.
Plug into 240V and RTMF!

a potentiometer wired at the dimming wires is how it's done I think. Of course it would have to be the right value,

yep, just says to change the resistance value on the dimming wires. doesn't sound like an exact science.
oh well, i'm running it full blast anyway.
advanced tech says you can switch from 315 to 200 with the switch on the ballast with same bulb installed. it will do what you said and have a slight spectrum change.

so with that deal from advanced tech for 200, i'm wondering the individual prices are for the bulb and the ballast? are they both around a hundy each?

Philips lamps run me about 70 I think, the solis was 85. , the philips ballast is cheapest by far since it's not ready to go out of the box, but it works well, I'd like to see it up against a sunplix though or I'd like to see the signals compared.

those sunplix are manufactured in-house?
i just have to wire the bulb to the ballast and i'll be ready to fire it up.
pretty good deal if you DIY: luxor knockoff, ballast and bulb for $320 shipped.
i can't find where i read it but those cycloptic reflectors are supposed to be the most effiicient of all the 315 LECs on the market now.

Only getting the ballast here, I'll put it on the luxor and the sunplix on the OG.
That is if I buy a sunplix. If they're too high priced and the cycloptics ballasts are cool I'll just get another one of those.

Flower Room #1 - Single 600w HPS
Girl Scout Cookie Haze #3 - Week 3 - New res, 5.6@760ppm (1.52EC) could probably go more on this one, these GSCH feed heavy
Fruity Chronic Cookies #1 - Week 3 - New res, 5.6@700ppm (1.4EC) last res change I set at 750ppm and was getting a slight rise
Fruity Chronic Cookies #2 - Week 1 - New res, 5.5@630ppm (1.26EC)
Dank #5 (#4 seed) - Week 7 - New Res, starting to back off the nutes a bit. 5.6@680ppm (1.36EC)
Flower Room #2 - (2) 315w CMH
Girl Scout Cookie Haze #1 - Week 1 - New res, 5.7@760ppm (1.52EC) - I think since the pH is rising so fast in these buckets that is showing up as a P def.
Girl Scout Cookie Haze #2 - Week 1 - New res, 5.6@730ppm (1.46EC) - pH rising fast in this one as well.

Need a new flower light. Not digging the 600w HPS anymore. Wanna go 1000w.

Fuk dat.
If you want to run a thouie, get a LFSW ballast and an allstart lamp or two; at least you'll have the right spectrum.

Allstarts are only 860w thi right? Fired off a 1kw would be a waste of electricity no?
Whats ceiling space like? Wanted to go DE but 7ft ceilings

hey first, i'm guessing you are aware but i'll put this out there:
solis tek matrix ballast. you can run 2 600's off the one ballast. since you already have a 6, just add another one. 1200 vs 1k=bueno

Philips marketing scam; they only run at 860W if your mag is plugged into 208V. At 240V they'll be pulling 1000W, plus the ballast itself. Don't get a mag; the LFSW units will drive the bulb much better.
Since I run mine vert and bare, a low ceiling height is no challenge for me.
If you can't do that, maybe you should talk to @dbkick about his Sunplix hookup. In veg, my 315W CMH lights are the equal of 600W HPS.
