thats ridiculous. i was about to say what the hell would u use that for unless u like turn ur entire garage into a grow room and even then u only get to use the bulb for 250 hours before it burns out. garbage. and at 2300 a piece. yikes. thats not a ballast thats a damn spot light. could u imagine trying to jimmy-rig that thing up so it was hanging the right way cuz all those do is pivot on that tripod.

:watchplant:

Hey Ktown....don't think it matters where the hell that thing pointing...it'll illuminate everything. :p
dang things prolly so bright you won't have a shadow....just beam right through ya at 10' :bolt:

[ktownlegend]

thats bright enough to make u go blind if ur eyes are exposed to it directly for more than 4 hours

[ktownlegend]

and i'd also be willing to bet it would matter where u pointed it, cuz it'd probly start stuff on fire quit easily. lol

[HGB]

4 hourse


thank god i dont know 4 :p

[ktownlegend]

[MrPuffAlot]

wonder if anyone actually uses it..

can't imagine how HOT that thing must get

[DLtoker]

Any pick of how large the electrical cord is? :rolleyes:

Spotlight like at big events....the ones that have that massive beam that reflects off the clouds. Only thing I can figure it for.

[JeSus]

I use three of those in my grow room, 50lb yeild per plant

[Insert Sarcasm Here]

[ktownlegend]

i vote some one with enough money to purchase that light and space provided should attempt a grow with one of those bad boys. jsut to see what exactly that many lumens would do to growing plants. other than burn ur house down or make u go blind. probly need a welding mask to even look at it directly.



50lbs? huh? only 50 geez whatu doin wrong with a light like that u should be going through the veg cycle in about 48 hours and the flowerig cycle in about a week with at least 75lbs per plant man. step it up a lil. lmfao

[BluntFullOfKush]

Hot damn i jus bought 1 of thoses things in an effort to contact ET,........It didnt work :( LOL thats a crazy light u can use that to keep a whole feild of plants on 24 hr lighting lol

[Mutt]

Check this one out!!!

Only Las Vegas could boast the world's brightest, most powerful beam of light.
Shining from the top of the Luxor Hotel & Casino (which replicates an Egyptian
pyramid) the 315,000-watt light beam is visible to airplane passengers from as
far as 250 miles away!

315 THOUSAND Watts!!!! Thats enough wattage for 6,300 sq.ft. @ 4 plants per square foot....25,200 plants :eek:

[trichnut]

so... is this one of those lights at the airport that go around and tell the planes where the airport is or what are these things used for?

[Gadhooka]

The Luxor used to have even more growing capacity until the FAA told them they had to turn it down because it was interfering with air traffic.:cool: Sunglasses anyone?
