Personal Light Preference?
permalink

There are few discussions on this forum about the specific lights that people prefer. Yes, we can and have talked about the type of light (HPS, MV, Floro, etc), but I have found little information regarding who makes the best product of the aforementioned.
I have visited many a store, and many a website and have found that the information they supply to the consumer is lacking.
Is there a particular brand that anyone here sticks to, or stays away from?
I only ask this because I am currently looking to upgrade my current setup, so if anyone would be so kind as to PM me as to where they purchased their light, I would also appreciate that.

What are you using as a setup as of now? What are you looking for in your next setup? I'm running (2) MH400's, and intend on just purchasing the MH to HPS conversion bulbs for flowering. I got a good deal that I just couldn't pass up for these. I don't really think you would need anything for than 600watts.

the brand really doesn't matter, but there are exceptions. the hortilux blue spectrum hps is by far the best from what i have seen and read. i prefer the comercial electric brand of compact floro as far as floro is concerned. but high pessure sodium of metal halide is the better buy as far as efficiency goes.

i use 600wtt hps hurtilux.. best by far....
you will pay more for them but thet r so worth it!!
there almost 1/2 the pwr as a 1000wtt
they just make sence to me.
for my clones i put a fish tank flouro that comes w/ a reflector hood,, the kind that goes on a 10-20 gallon tank..i rest it on the top of the clone dome.. put a fan on it or else you will steam the cuttz, the fan keeps it cool, i spray 1 time a week if that & i have about a 95-100% survival
i can show a pic when i learn how 2
