G.W.

MUST USE SEARCH
seriously this has been discussed ad nauseum on canna sites
every single possible facet has been rehashed including iggits who use $200 CMH for the improved UVA UVB output only to place it in a glass cool tube therefore filtering the improved chromaticity right out of existence


t5-8-12 are diameters

T12 is dinosaur nuff said
t5 is only HO with high ambient temps generated by an enclosure THIS MEANS NOT BETTER
T8 is the most common and cheapest for bulbs, ballasts, etc
T832W is the bulb part # prefix
CFL is cheap and available but harder to reflectorize
HPS is most efficient and a burst and fire hazard if not enclosed
MH is a waste of time with all the cons of HPS and none of the pros

electricity use is defined in watts
a 150w HPS uses the same amount as 150W of fluorescent
the HPS will give slightly more LUMENS PER WATT (this is how you get a real answer)

everything is nearly half price if you go to a local electrical store, not a box store


LED=hype
