Heya Rives! Welcome bud and thanks for all the help you have been to me personally as well as the larger community.

For those who don't know, Rives has helped hundreds of growers thru his threads, comments, and PMs. He is a first rate Leccy with few equals on this site.

I have a link on the first post to his 315w CMH thread and that is the goto thread if you want to learn about this bulb and technology. Plenty of knowledge in that one from many posters.

Im trying to decide between this, 2 of these, a sunsystem 315 lec, two of those, or a d-papillon 650w for a 4.5 x 4.5 veg. Any thoughts?

McKush · 01-18-2016, 05:44 PM

dpap is dimmable and i think the other two may not be. The reflector is the same as the epap which throws rectangular not square (epap is ~ 5x6 fixture whereas gavita is ~ 4x4 fixture), using a good wall covering like Orca would help that tho.

wanted real bad to get a dpap for veg but opted for an obtainable greenbeam (GB drawback is $$$ as two would be nearly $1,100) my veg room is small so just using 1 for a space a bit bigger than 3x3 its something like 38"x45"

this is a GB thread tho, are you looking at those? didn't see it mentioned

yeah when i said two of these i was talkin about the greenbeam. I just dont know how 2 would cover a 4 1/2 x 4 1/2, it seems no matter how i put um there would be about 3 square feet not being lit properly,, in the corners or sides.

If I had a 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 space I'd use just one cycloptics unit. I had 4x4 tent with one for veg and it filled it up nicely. Completely different light spread on those, the entire tent will be lit evenly.

Anyone know where cycloptics ship from? Im trying to find a storefront close to sacramento that carries them, called a few places but no luck so far...

They ship out of GrowersHouse. talk to Nate. I just bought 12 of them.

Two of them in a 4.5 x 4.5 should get you about 580 µmol/m²s.

Newbie lurker here - just ordered a single GB 315 unit from GH with the 4200K for my new garden and am planning to run just one in a 4x4 tent. Intend on using the 942 bulb for both veg and flowering. Do you guys think I am being overly-optimistic thinking this single light will get me a decent yield? This is my first attempt at growing ever, but after doing lots of research I wanted to get something that will give me good results and is energy efficient. I would really be happy with any yield (not killing the plants would be a win!).

All my parts are on order and I am setting up a RDWC system over the next week or so.

Thanks everyone for the awesome info in this thread already. Really helped my decision to pickup the GB unit as opposed to cheaper nanolux/sunsystems/phantom setups.
