You can run HPS lights on a regular genny, we did it for years :tu:

Not everything you read is true. lol I think some people have had issues with hps lights flickering on some of the cheaper[Champion etc] gennys. Any quality genny that can maintain a stable current/voltage will run hps/mh lights just fine.

The cleaner power you have the better your lights will run. However you don't NEED the invertor style generators to run HPS lights.

Probably but a good one would more than likely cost as much as a decent genny. lol

OBG posted a couple of charts that show everything from lumens to amp wattage reguirements for a ton of different lights and all. Search for it and you should get a lot of good info. out of it.

I think Mud posted the chart on the "Let's talk lights" thread.
