well tired of the same ol crap out there. so instead of running 8 pisochit halogen fixtures Im going to run 4. this one is 45 in. long and 9 in. tall. I am going to be running one more 4 footer and two 3 footers in the front with more mh/hps digital fixtures on the front corners and off the fan stand. Let there be light.

225ultras draw 225 watts or 1.875 amps ea. 14x1.875=26.25amps +22amps for3 4oomh and 4 250mh=48 amps.Might be a new member of the 10,000 watt genny club! Welcome!On the bright side,if the power goes out you can run your entire house off the boat genny-done that.LOL

·so much for a light weight setup. LOL
why not just add a few more 400 MH or HPS?
you will have twice the amout of light with half the power draw as all them halogens?

Can't speak for anyone else,but i didn't care for the hps lights i had for one season on my old rig.Couldn't get use to the yellow/orange light so i went back to halogens.They were the 150hps lights. I have been kicking around getting some of the big 400hps fixtures from jpeater and giving them another try,on the fence on that one.

They'll still be orange because of their dominant sodium content.Why not just use Metal Halide bulbs?That's what you'll have to do if you want white light.I'm fixing to put 6 250w and 1 400w metal halide lights w/digital ballasts on mine for good coverage.It wont be using much juice.Probably in the neighborhood of 2,000 watts and putting out 152,000 lumens of white light.Here's a link that explains it a little better than I can.
