Grow Crew 1000w Commercial HPS Bulb

I used this as part of my first setup where I didn't really have the budget for a Hortilux bulb. It's working well so far, its definitely doing the job.

We ordered 6 of these back in July, and they are all still working perfectly. When comparing prices and bulbs, these were comparable to most other bulbs in the under $60 price range. We are running them on 6 Hot Head magnetic ballast with no problem. For the price, IMHO these cannot be beat. I do prefer Hortilux or Ushio for my personal grows, but for a larger scale grow these work fine and at the price can be changed out twice a year. Bad bulbs happen even on your higher end ones, any grower with experience and worth their salt know this. For me and my partner, both having over 25 years of experience, these work just fine. We are switching over to all digital ballasts by mid winter, s it is good to know these will work fine for digital ballasts as well.
