forgetiwashere Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 yeah i know phillips RRP for them in aus is around $1499. that said i doubt that hydro stores will sell them that high its just going to be a matter of waiting and seeing what the stores do. as for the temp i dont really keep track but i know that i am running 1 less fan in there and have the lamp at only 30cm above canopy and im seeing no signs of stress at all. i grow year round without dramas normally though. i will grab my laser thermometer next time i run down there and just check ambient temp, room temp and under canopy temp. hell i will even shoot the lamp and see what it is saying. there is a ballast hanging in there too so that might increase heat but honestly i havnt noticed and major increase. the thermometer will tell the tale though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nici Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Also love the "butterfly" mod you have on the wall in your room forgetiwashere... Did that cost extra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangwena Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hi Forgetiwashere, they sound really good, I dont doubt they will deliver, LEC must be the next generation philips were hinting at. The bulbs I use are not philips.I couldnt find anywhere in Aussie to buy them, but the spectrum of the EYE lighting version was close enough for me, they are the nearest thing to direct sun light I cant believe how good they perform.I will now be searching for the LEC bulbs for sure. Judge I have a grow diary "Ace Malawi" where I used the CMH bulbs they blew me away. Now I cant wait to try everything under them.Tangwena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forgetiwashere Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 hey tangwena, the new LEC lamps wont run on a standard ballast, they have completely changed the lamp design. its now a very small bulb with a dual pin base rather than a screw in base. here is the place i used to get my phillips CMH lamps though if your interested http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2-x-PHILIPS-CMH-400W-CERAMIC-METAL-HALIDE-MASTER-COLOR-HPS-FULL-SPECTRUM-/111097504698?pt=AU_Seed_Starting_Hydroponics&hash=item19dded63ba he does sell them single too im sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tangwena Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hi Judge my mistake there is a bigger diary titled " Ace seeds Malawi" that shows the results. Forgetiwashere, thanks for the link but I bought spares of the EYE lighting bulbs I will not need new ones for a year or so hopefully by then these d papilon lights will be cheaper. Gotta love the spectrum from the CMH and these new LEC bulbs though. Tangwena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
