To do a fair side by side comparison the reflectors need to be identical. Ac/de and the evolution would be a much closer comparison.

What they look like to me, is an upgraded Son-Agro HPS (30 percent more blue) that's been majorly improved in efficiency and longevity. The most important aspects.
Designed for large installations where costs are a major concern. Large greenhouses, etc. Efficiency is huge priority when your electrical bill is 10 grand a month, or more.
But, I don't see them being any better spectrum wise, than what a Philips ceramic metal halide already offers.
X5 LED also looks good.
Is there a difference between the Gavita 600 single ended compared to a Gavita 750flex double ended turned down to 600? What is the DE advantage over the SE?
Thanks

would you say the ac/de gives a pfootprint than a big mangum xxxl type (open reflector, not air cooled) like the agrotech magnum? just wondering as I just purchased a gavita remote 1000, and have that type of big open hood, was seriously considering ac/de and would still switch if it give a better footprint, I just like open if possible, but then again, I choose this hood because I am dealing with some height issues, and wanted best dispersion.. Appreciate all 2cents.
So, over 1 year later, the DE bulb is going strong. Yes, the same DE bulb I installed initially. It continues to outperform bulbs around it, in brightness and yields. Ty for stopping by
24" would be manageable with DEs but the risk of bleaching would be high, their light is intense, you would need to be careful about keeping that gap exact, raising your lights constantly in order to not let the plants creep closer.I have low ceilings, was looking at ac/de
have 2 raptors in 5x10 with a 6'10" ceiling
24" from canopy to light would work best for me
thoughts?
