growzilla

ive already looked at that one, the footprint is 24x27, the bulbs are tip to tip, its the same as having two different reflectors.

with the growzilla, the footprint is 21x21 ( same as lumenbright ) but the bulbs are side by side, its the same as only having one reflector.

maybe you can explain why the one you showed is better, i dont see it.

 

Either one is worth much for an aquarium application, Not at all what the reflectors are made for . I can't see what you think the benefits would be ? Having tried a couple a few yrs ago the individual reflector gives you far more control of the lighting area . End to end bulbs simple offers more linear light where as growzilla will only provide more light wide ways from front to back, And again either are designed to refract light properly onto a liquid reflective surface like water.. they are designed and engineered for air and plant growth . Not water and corals .. Take a normal aquarium parabolic reflector and get more focused light .

Other then simple saving a few bucks on a reflector you will still need the bulbs and ballast for ea. bulb and the lighting will not be as directed .. But hey get a few and find out what I and a few others already no.. From having used them Its not the first time this pony has been saddled it just won't work as well .
Whats your reasoning as to there being any added benefits and or advantages ?

 

that was my question to you, im posting this thread so others can see, and also to see if anyone has any input.

 

Oh, ok. Since I've given my input, I'll check this thread again in a few weeks to see what you and others have to add.

 

I'm not sure if I see the benefit either. The net result would be to have 2X what ever wattage you put in there, Right So If I used 2 400W it would be like having an 800W MH
I guess you could put 2 different Kalvin in there and run then at different times but are the reflectors designed to do that. I think you would have odd refraction from the reflector.

Anyway I think it would be cheeper to run 1 1000W MH if you needed that power

ive put together 2 lumenbrights in order to use two different k value mh bulbs, ill post pics later the batteries are dead in the camera
