Armour Series LEC/CMH Fixture - 315W | + Philips 315W 930 CDM Elite La


Recommended Posts

Im running 2 315 cmh sunstorm kits in a 1.2x1.2x 2 high tent plenty of light but before that i ran a 80x80x1.8 high with one cmh kit in it. But always remember make it stealthily as possible with the noise of the fan. Im pretty lucky my local hydro guy i go to i trust with setups i just give him a budget that im working with an he does his best to keep it under or push it to the best he can do for that price

i was looking at the double socket Armour series

 

but gave it a miss, they havnt been round for a long time, way cheaper then hipar and sol sence which rang alarm bells as chinese made stuff.(i could be wrong, i have been once before lol) this was just my gut feeling.

 

 

i have brought a hipar double socket, 1x socket for CMH and 1x socket HPS vented hood

 

running a 400w hps and a 315w cmh https://www.hi-par-horticulture.com/duo-cmh-hps-reflector

 

https://www.hi-par-horticulture.com/315w-cmh-control-ballast

 

 

i have brought a plenty of unknown/cheap growing equipment, that sits in a pile in my shed

 

spend a couple $$ more and buy well known quality branded , you will be saving a lotta $$ in the long run.

This set up sounds interesting what hi par balast is it mate keen to look into

Yea i was the same but i just started small an as funds were available i up graded. if ya invest in a larger fan with a fan speed controller to dial it back you could start with a smaller tent with 1 light than wen ya can get the second one an a new tent 1.2x1.2x2 high are only a couple hundred bucks. I use my old tent for vegging in with a cheap ebay vipar spectra an working on building a clone early veg chamber on/in a set of shelfs i have to store stuff on

Hey Shorty,

 

1x   https://www.hydroexperts.com.au/Hi-Par-Digital-CMH-Control-Ballast-Kit-315W-Philips-315W-930-Lamp

 

already have one of these, although a lot older  https://www.hydroexperts.com.au/Lighting-Kit-HPS-Flower-Gavita-400W-Lumatek-Ballast-Adjust-A-Wings-Defender

 

 

put them in one of these https://www.hydroexperts.com.au/Hi-Par-Dual-HPS-CMH-Air-Cooled-Reflector-E40-SE-and-PGZ18-LEC-Lamp-Mount

 

and i can always purchase another 315lec with an adaptor to fit the E40 fitting for in the future then i can  run 2x 315lec, 

 

 

i really wanted the hipar double ended 630 lec but was a bit concerned about heat, and not being able to run the 10k light for finishing(i know i know, it probably all bullshit, but i gotta find out myself"

 

from my internet studies 2x 315lec ran a lot hotter then  1x 630lec...

 

...hence the vented hood, which will definitly help with the hps heat, not so much the lec at the moment..... was an investment now for future upgrades!

 

Ps, i wanted to play around with the hps and lec lighting together, supose to help with with oil production, i dont really know yet, as i havnt completed a full grow,

 

gotta play around a bit n see what works best..

cant remember the brand, had it for years. big inline one but dialed down, running around 50% ,   passive intake.

 

i dial it down with one of these https://www.jaycar.com.au/0-260vac-variable-laboratory-autotransfomer-variac-500va/p/MP3080,

 

 

might seem a little expensive but your only buying 1 to last you for years, and then some, not 5x el cheapo shit things..

 

say your $$ and buy quality first go..

 

i wish i did all those years ago, i hate to think how much $$ i have spent on "bargins"
