Question Is this for real?
permalink

Found this on Ebay, a Philips 400w metal halide bulb that produces 1510000 lumens Actually suggests that you use sunscreen with prolonged exposure Here it is... I'm going to try and win, I've got a 400w MH ballast on the way. That bulb looks huge compared to the mogul base, should easily give enough light to mimick the sun, in my closet
"This lamp has never been used and is ready to help your vegtables grow big and strong like weed." I sure hope so...

Yes it sounds too good to be true...

... The beem it produces might have 151,000 lumens but, It has a narrow beam meaning it will only light up 40 degrees. Might be good for 2 small plants. My ...

Am I miscounting my zeros? Even the sun doesn't produce 1,510,000 lumens, at least not on earth Even 151,000 is dubious. My 1000w doesn't put out much more than that.

I doubt it (to be honest) I agree with grassp_hoppers statement, lol. A 400wt MH will not produce 1510000, or if the zeros are wrong... a 400wt MH wouldnt even produce 151,000. my Peace

It looks like a heat lamp!

Yeah, I'd say those numbers have been blown WAY out of proportion!

While im on the subject, can a 400w ballast be used to power 2 175w MH bulbs for more light coverage because I have a couple. Also can a murcury vapor bulb be used in these ballasts? I heard MV can help add THC during flower stage somewhere, I would probably use one 175w MV with one 175w MH...
