You can see the SpectralRadiometer readings for the Hortilux Super HPS 1000W bulb and the Philips MASTER GreenPower Plus 1000W Double Ended. Here are the results of some of the test data. We are also going to use our PAR meter to measure the intensity over a 4 foot by 4 foot growing area, we are also going to put the two different bulbs under the SpectralRadiometer from StellarNet, which is going to show us the exact spectrum that these bulbs will be giving off so that we can compare them. We are going to use the same exact ballast and same exact bulb for each double ended fixture, which is the Philips MASTER GreenPower Plus 1000W Double Ended, and the Galaxy Grow Amp 1000W Select-A-Watt Ballast. We are going to see if we can topple that reflector with some double ended fixtures by testing them, the Gavita Pro Double Ended Complete 1000W Fixture, we are also going to put in an Adjust-A-Wing Double Ended Large Reflector, and the new Sunlight Supply Sun System AC/DE Double Ended Air-Cooled 8 inch Reflector. We are going to put these bulbs in different fixtures, these double ended, and compare them to traditional Hortilux Super HPS 1000W bulb in a Magnum XXXL Air Cooled 8 inch Reflector which has been for a long time considered the industry standard for large growers to use when they are trying to cover alot of area and get the maximum yield possible. So what we are going to do is put those claims to the test, one claim that we can't test today is that (although we might do it in the future) is that these double ended bulbs last longer and degrade less quickly than traditional 1000w HPS bulbs and they say after 10,000 hours they are supposed to still have 90% of the intensity of the bulb when it first starts out, ignited for the first time. The reason they say these bulbs are better, which we are going to test today, is that they're double ended design actually makes the bulbs more stable allowing the bulbs to actually have more intensity with the same amount of wattage and they say that the bulbs are designed to have a slightly broader spectrum than traditional 1000w HPS bulbs. Now the reason we're testing these bulbs is because they are supposedly possibly toppling the single ended, which is the standard 1000w HPS bulb we're all familiar with, as the best bulb for indoor growing. Today we are testing Double Ended 1000W HPS bulbs and Double Ended Reflectors & Hoods. Hi everyone this is Nate at Growers House ( ).
