u ever mess with the philips single ended cmh/cmd 860w ?
no, never have. im using cheap digital ballasts that i got from a storage unit auction. got 20 ballasts and 20 something light movers. sold all the light movers, made my money back and then some, and then kept the ballasts to use.

they arent dimmable and my guess is that they arent the most efficient.

is there any reason why DE bulbs cant be burned vertically or is it just a lack of reflector options? my buddy is quite the fabricator so if it can be done we could do it

u can buy just the de socket an cord sets.

i dont know the exact reason why it is said they only run horizontal.

but if i had to guess it could be that heat rises. an the top of the bulb would burn hotter then the lower. making an uneven burn. the fillament is long an thin on a de, where as the se bulbs the filament is concentrated towards the end.

im sunday morning stoned an that makes sense atm.



killer deal on the storage auction. been to a few myself . im forever scouring ebay an craigs list for deals... just found 220sqft of mohagany 3/4 decking,im tonguing an grooving it an laying it in my camper. like $2.50sqft. great deal..

That sounds like something I would do.
Awesome find. 5-10" can fans are worth a hell of lot more than that. Wondering if they had mites in the room running through the fans.

Also I was so cheap once that I got some 12" duct work cheap but was a bit dirty. One day in an above ground pool and a hose, left hanging from the top of my deck to dry and it is shiny and good as new.

turns out this was a house that had an illegal grow and the landlord found out and turned the guy in. he was stealing power and had destroyed his house. the guy had 40 air cooled lights in about a huge 2 story house and a bad ass industrial natural gas powered chiller system. he was selling the equipment dirt cheap to try and fix his house.

ended up getting 7 can fan max 10" and a 8" inline by advanced nutrients for 475 and a flipbox power box for 10 lights for 150. he gave me a bunch of random flanges for the fans and stuff too.

as far as the mites are concerned, im not sure about that. they hadnt been used in a while and had spider webs with spiders in them so i think they are good to go. im doing preventatives all throughout veg with the hopes of staying clean in flower. prevention in key, or so they say.

on a side note, i am getting my DE setup ordered tomorrow. should be able to get a nice comparison going between SE, DE and DIY COB in the PPK shortly.
