Anyone ever see this bulb or use it.I ordered one awhile back and am using it now.It has 160,000 Lumens

.Sun Master has 150,000 - Solar Max has 147,000 and Hortilux has 145,000 Its the same price as the Sun Master and the Solar Max at $119.99-Great bulb though and 160 lm's is high output.

NG1000W
Color Rendering Index: Ra-10
Color Temperature: 2063K
Red Color Ratio: 16.8%
Lumens: 160,000

I wish they would rate all bubls in PAR to make the most sense as far as the plants are concerned. I have a few friends that have them and no complaints so far!

Lumens don't mean crap. Lumen are based on human vision and not plant requirments. I think it is a marketing gimmick. DWW are using growing a plant you know under the new light to get a feel whether the lamp does perform better than others? I, myself, am a spectra man. If there is a big peak anywhere around 550 nm then the bulb sucks. Plants can use about 10% of 550nm light so the other 90% is good for your vision. I would be curious how well the lamp works for ya.

Hey Nugs

I am using it for the first time,but growin a strain that i have grown 3 times b4 and this is my 4th.So i know it alittle,so i hope to see a difference.Last grow i used A/N nutes and had a Hortilux bulb.This time i have the NRG bulb and am going organic(fox farm Earth Juice PB Bloom EJ micro) So im not growin the same way as the last.The buds seem alot denser than b4,but im only at day 32 12/12,so well see if this bulb works the way its billed.So far im on the fence wether i like it better than the Hortilux.

Why buy a hortilux instead of a Standard 1000 wt hps then?its only 5,000 lms more?Its like when i switched two 34 wtt flouro bulbs in each of my 4 ft fixture's in Veg, to two 40 wtt growlux flouro bulbs each.It was only a little upgrade -but it was an upgrade. Just trying to get the most outta what i can.Im not even sure yet if there is gonna be a noticeable difference,but its worth a try.

Hmm..sounds like crazy lamp.. I have heard of PAR before but exactly how would you rate it, as how many PARS would be good for a plant by sq.ft. Sorry if its a stupid question, I am still learning.

Whats a par?
What does P.A.R. stand for?
Who is PAR?

Assuming no 2 is the right question, but then I dont know so?

PARs is photosynthetically active radiation. It's a measure of the amount of light produced weighted by the spectrum that a plant uses for photosynthesis. So it's a measure of light produced that will drive photosynthesis.
