lol,perhaps some tighter panties would keep so much fiberglass insulation out of your vagina which i imagine makes it rather itchy!
I'm startn to think I could get better use out of 4 e-paps instead of 6 in a12x12 and still have room to move around. With the lights spread
Not sure Joe. You could for sure do 12x8 pretty good but you would be lacking in some spots in a 12x12.
Here is what E-Pap recommends...
Each ePapillion DE can cover between 4' x 4' to about 6' x 6' area, depending on how high it is above the canopy and how many lights are in the room. These recommendations are for flowering rooms only. For vegetative rooms you can do up to a 8' x 8' area. The more fixtures you have in a given area, the more cross-lighting you get (light from other fixtures spilling into a given lights footprint). So multiple fixtures in one room will have a larger footprint per fixture than a fixture in isolation. So with multiple fixtures you'll be closer to the 6' x 6' footprint per ePapillion 1000w. For a 12' x 12' area, we'd recommend about 4 to 5 fixtures.

Is there a thread about these lamps and hood mods please?
Here are two long threads about Gavita.

DE adjust-a-wings FTW! I'm planning on runnin 6 of em in a 12x12x10 that i'll be building after i finish up a side project that's in the works as I will be relying on it to foot the equipment bill.
Nice deez

Thanks TC!
are the DE romote ballast ?
Yes, the DE adjustawings and other DE reflectors use remote ballasts. Any high frequency electronic ballast will fire them properly. I use Solistek matrixes to fire DE lamps in Sunsystem Super Sun DE hoods.
what is the total price for a complete set up like your talking about ??
solistek matrix is $200, reflector is $120 and the lamp is $90. So $400-450 depending on your discount.
Honestly I'd go with a Gavita if you have 10' ceilings. If not, you can get the epap closer to the canopy than a Gavita.
The most important part is the lamp though, make sure you get a Phillips ecogreen or a Gavita 1000 DE PRO lamp... these are the only lamps that can reach 2100 umol.

You need to use the bulbs that say 400v for Gavita or E-P. The DE bulbs that do not use 400v(120/240v) can be used on any Digital Ballast. The Ballast has to provide 400v for these bulbs if it doesn't say that it will not work properly..
Lumatek pro series makes a 400v ballast now to run these bulbs. I have a Matrix it does not provide 400v.If the new Matrix ballast is the same as the Lumatek Pro Series it will work fine.. Here are the spec's on this ballast
NEW! The Lumatek Pro is designed to power 400 Volt Double Ended EL horticultural lamps via a standard 230 volt power supply. Lumatek introduces the next generation of 240V fully dimmable electronic ballasts that professional horticulture 400V lamps can control and at an affordable price.
