completely rhetorically speaking if one were to say grow marijuana, my understanding is that person would want to buy 600w hps lights. AFAIK 600w hps is the most efficient watt/output plus the lights can be spread out also generating a better artificial sun for the plants as they can be spread out and overlap so more area is illuminated.
basically SWIM wants to get a kilowatt setup or so and I've researched that 600w is the way to go.
Just wondering what other peoples thoughts are about this.
Also how long is the life span of a HPS bulb? I heard 10 000 hours but I am not sure.
Thanks for your time, whoever reads this and especially to whomever replies.

600's are the most efficeint ..that would be my choice..on the bulb life , change it every 6 months to a year depending on how picky ya are.... nothing wrong with 400's or 1000's etheir..but yeah 600 is the king right now

the initial cost of setting up 600s is more than using 1000s though eh? SWIM is gonna need to number crunch. since SWIM isn't loaded I'm pretty sure he will buy a 600 then another 600 later.

i dont think they are more than a 1000,but dont quote me on that..6's usally cost 350- 400 for the ballast and at least another 100 for a good hood(sun system,hydrofarm)
btw i would avoid a digital ballast, at least until all the problems have been worked out
edit :will pay for itself on the first run, if ya know whats up

I mean 2 x 600s would cost more than 1 x 1000
