I'm looking to buy a 150w CMH bulb & ballast set. I'll be using this as a veg light in a 24"L x 30"W x 30"H space (w/ one side mostly open), for plants to be flowered under a 600w Lumatek.
I'll most likely be using the bulb in an open fixture hood, and from my research it looks as though Phillips Master Color is the only CMH rated for open fixtures.
So I believe I'll be going w/ a150w Phillips Master Color, mainly for this reason.
If anyone knows of any other brands that have this rating, or are superior in any way, I'd love to know...
What's really giving me troubles is finding a compatable ballast. I understand I'll need a 150w HPS core & coil, in order to be compatable with the CMH bulb.
What specs should I be looking for?
If anyone could recommend a site or two where these items could be picked up at a reasonable price, I'd be very greatful. K+
I wouldn't mind ordering each from a seperate site, if it meant getting the best equipment/price.
So come on all you CMH heads, recommend some equipment that fits the bill so I can get growing & test out this new technology w/ you.
Thanks In Advance,
