Finally the opportunity has come up for me to be able to build my own MH unit cheap (working for a local lighting authority has its plus side), before I get the balast and gear needed I was just windering what Kevin lamps to go with, I have decided to go with 2 x 150w MH with 2 x t5 blue, while I have upto 600w MH available I am considering my electric bill!!!!!
I prefer the crisper white of around 14,000K although im not sure this is the best option to go with when using MH lighting?
luckily our nominated cotractors also have a fabrication shop which means I can pretty much design the unit as I want ( and will cost me peanuts! ), reflectors will come from redundant street lights which will be ideal for this purpose due to thier even (depending on which light i nick it from) light spread with very little light spill, my only other concern is the glass to cover the MH tubes and reflectors as I am unsure if the temp will cause a problem, so any advice on this would be good.
