Ive been looking to find the best 600w bulbs the market has to offer. To be considered "the best", it has to have at least >150 lumens per watt (or >90,000 initial lumens) and a horticulture/plant specific bulb. Here are the best options my search came up with:
Ushio HiLux Gro (97,000 initial lumens)
(recommended by Ushio to be run on a S106 ballast, compatible with e-ballasts)
SPD: http://www.plantlightinghydroponics...d-spectrum-hps-grow-bulb-pi-3132.html?image=1
DigiLux (95,000 initial lumens)
(digital ballasts only)
SPD: http://www.plantlightinghydroponics...e-spectrum-hps-grow-bulb-pi-2986.html?image=1
AgroMax (95,000 initial lumens)
(cant find any specifics)
Lumatek (92,000 initial lumens)
(designed for digital ballasts, usable on magnetic)
SPD: http://www.rollitup.org/attachments...ons-600w-hps-bulbs-lumatek-spd-1-000w-hps.jpg [could only find spd of 1000w bulb)
(SolarMax not included due to being S106 ballast specific and having incompatibilities with most e-ballasts.)
Please share your experiences with any of these bulbs as well as inform us of other options that fit the >90,000/plant specific parameters for the best 600w hps bulbs options.
