Frequently asked questions |
| Q: What does the "combo" mean in the product options, does it mean you get both the lamps listed? |
| Yes, it does, whenever you see the word combo it means that the system comes with the two lamps listed. Some customers prefer to use a halide lamp for vegative (leaf growth), and a sodium or Grolux lamp for flowering. The Grolux Dual Spectrum lamp is not available in a 250W version (it's only available in 400W and 600W versions), if you wish to use one lamp for vegative and flowering growth then the Osram Son-T-Plus lamp will do a reasonably good job for both these stages of plant growth. By offering the combo deals we make it cheaper for customers looking to purchase both lamps at the point of sale, rather than having to buy an extra lamp at the full retail price. |

| Q: I have read the Compact gets very hot when it's on, is it safe and why does this happen? |
| The Compact ballast from Maxigrow is by far the most reliable ballast on the market. In the 3 years we've been selling them we've only had a handful of returns. You may have noticed that we only sell two brands of lighting, Powerplant and Maxigrow, the reason we do this is that in our opinion these are currently the most reliable brands on the market. With regards to the heat question, the answer is that they designed to run hot, and are entirely safe. The internal workings of the ballast are potted in resin to eliminate operating noise (these ballasts are 100% silent in operation), the outer black casing material is widely used in the petroleum industry as a heat dissipation material; it pulls the heat away from the inner workings of the ballast and results in a long life ballast that will give you years of trouble free use. |
|
| Q: You list lots of options for lamps on your grow lights, i'm unsure which option I need? |
| Around 90% of our grow lights are supplied with a Grolux lamp, it's a good all round lamp that works well in both vegative and flowering situations. |
|
| Q: What kind of area do these lights cover? |
| It depends on how far above the plant you position the light, but as a rough guide the 250W version will cover around 0.5m to 0.8m, the 400W version will cover around 0.7m to 1.0m and the 600W version will cover around 1.0m to 1.5m. |
|
| Q: How much electricity do these lights use? |
| To work out how much electricity they use simply find out how much you pay per for your electricty per kilowatt hour (1000W), divide this figure by 1000 then multiply by the wattage of the light. For example, if you pay £0.09 pence per kilowatt hour and you wish to work out how much it will cost to run a 400W light, simply divide 0.09 by 1000 then multiply the result by 400 (you would be paying 3.6 penece per hour that the light was switched on). Simple as that, and this rule applies to all grow lights and CFL lights. |
|
| Q: How do I hang these lights? |
If your reflector is say 50cm long, you will need two fixing points approx this distance apart that are capable of taking the weight of the reflector (this reflector weighs around 2KG). Most people tend to screw a couple of vine eyes into whatever surface is above the light, and then use either jack chain or Easy-Rolls to lower and raise the lights as needed. |
