HPS bulbs

[Kush']

Just wondering if there are HPS (or dual spectrum mh) globes that throw a bit less heat than your average cheap growlush (which are shit but I have always run because they are cheap!)bulb ect,I run a digital 400w ballast so ceramic is not an option but sunpulse seem to make a good bulb,but the manufacturers never really go into any detail about amount of heat thrown,so I ask because I run a cool tube set up atm and the shitty cheap bulb that's in there throws a lot of heat still,so figured a more expensive/better brand might throw a bit less and you stoners might have some personal experience with dif bulb setups and heat situations? cheers

Good quality Globes give better results......just check the lumen output of them......that'll tell ya whats what..............I use Philips..every globe I have is Philips now including my CFL's. Can't beat quality when it comes to filtering, fans and Lighting....... Peace. Nibbler

 

p.s. You need to check if their globes are digital ballast compatable....I still using Magnetics....hehe.....Ol Skool.....

Have you considered upgrading the fan pulling air through the cooltube?

Sunpulse dual spectrums ..... or any dual spectrum bulb will throw off less heat and still have more blue in the spectrum .... get yourself a cooltube and a decent centrifigul 150mm fan .... and say goodbye to heat problems for once and for all ...

Why would dual spectrum bulb throw off less heat than any other bulb??

I thought hps bulbs and most common mh bulbs were dual spectrum anyway ,i.e. have some levels of both red and blue spectrum?

Watts = heat

More airflow & cool tube which I asume you have.

 

I don't beleive there is anymore than 10% difference between bulb output.

 

More airflow buddy

Thanks crew yeah have always run cool tubes will have to just bite the bullet and get a bigger fan to blow through it,cheers
