So just to be clear, neither these nor the Gavitas we are discussing here are PLASMA correct? The price of these seems much cheaper.
How many of these 1000's would be needed to cover a 4x8 table? Currently we run 2 Xl Adjust a Wings with 1000's in them. What would be my advantage?
These are NOT Plasma lights. Neither are Gavitas (unless it specifically says Plasma). These are the 1000W HPS fixtures.
For a 4x8' table, use (2) of them. The advantage is 25% more light than your regular 1000W bulb, 10K hours of <95% PAR output, less hotspots, no RF interference, and ballerness.
How does that work exactly? I get tons of light from my Adjust a Wings on 1000w now. Would I be able to run these on 75% or so and save energy costs even more?
How many amps does one pull and what kind of light box would these plug into?
I read the thread but did not see the data for canopy distance for the E-P. I know Gavita is 25-30".. I have 1 of ea. I put a Agrotech Magnum Double Ended Reflector on the Gavita remote setup.
I used my par meter on it. It has the highest par readings then any of the other reflector i have used including E-P and Gavita. I like it. I might get another one...
If u use any ballast that is not approved to run DE bulbs you will void your warranty. Thats what GAVITA said
Fyi I dont know if this is popular or not on this site. Some sites like it some view it as a bit childish but I did take a set of unboxing pictures of my epap and can post them if sufficient interest.

…How many actual watts are being used at the 750 watt and 1000 watt setting?
Im glad to find this thread. I know you are supposed to light a room but how far apart from each bulb should I space them to maximize yield?
Would you say running them at the 750 watt setting would be comparable to a Lumatek running at the 1,000 setting?
How high from the canopy do I have to be when using the 750 watt setting?
How many actual watts are being used at the 750 watt and 1000 watt setting?
Oh, and @750W you need about 2 ft between canopy and lamp.
Can you share your data when you have it available Snype? I'm in one way or the other though.
I did some testing with my Solic Tek Ballast vs the Gavita on the Agrotech The par was much higher on the Agrotech..All my data is on another site I cant get back on.
Im using a 5x5 for that light, the E-P are getting A 4x4 area with some overlapping. Im using a distance of 25-30" from bulb to canopy on 1k setting. If I use the 1150 setting I would use the 30" or more.
DGS what would you use for canopy distance on the 1150 setting.??
