Looking at the specs, you show power usage at 93 watts in grow phase and 185 in bloom. Does this mean the combines wattage is 278 watts with both on?

Total combined output is 185 watts. 93 in veg and 93 in bloom...u use both spectrums turned on in flowering phase but as a $ saving option u can get by with only the veg (growing) spectrum on until u switch to flowering. To keep it simple , the 200 series is 2 spectrum groups @ 93 watts per or 185 watts with both sides on.

Sorry for the late reply:I think the wattage is calculated using an algorithm (speed, incline, etc.). I have never used a power meter before so I am afraid I cannot comment on how accurate it is.

( Edit just added) I just found one on another site ( http://www.hidgrow.com/20-75-x-48-root-radiance-heat-mat-four-tray.html ) and it appears to be 105 watts. The only electrical information printed on the mat was 120V. I went to the web site and did a search for "seedling heat mat" to see if anything was there, but nothing was found, though I can click on the picture to the left and it goes to the mat - but no wattage listed in the information. My seedlings did not do well, though that could easily be something I did or did not do. I think you either need to add a rheostat or what I did was put a 24 hour timer on the plug and had the heat go on and off each hour to keep it at an average heat. That seemed to work, but again, poor results from the seeds. They were also under a 160 watt grow light and lightly covered with a piece of opaque plastic to keep the moisture at a reasonable level.

I'm using 315w at idle and I have 8 hard disks in this computer. At max load I use "only" 530w. So yea, I highly doubt you will ever use the full 900 watts.

Philip M. Isidro says: I just got my package today and it says 260 Watt Max, but on Amazon it says 280 Watt Max. Pioneer states the TS-D1720C's are 260 Watt also... I know it's only a 20 Watt difference but.....false advertising? I AGREE, wtf Amazon? I Waited 2 MONTHS for mine to ship, even as a Paid Prime member. And then yesterday a box shows up and it is Clearkly marked "240 watts" I was PISSED OFF to say the least. 2 months ago I ordered all the other Pioneer stuff based on Pioneers "Stage 3" system. I had to search all over the place to Find a customer Service phone number and they have NO Clue at all, just to say they will send out another set, Another weekend GONE without being able to install my Stage 3 Pioneer system. After she(customer service) says she's sending me the Correct speakers and I hang up to WAIT all over again. I go to Pioneer USA and cannot find this speaker Amazon is advertising as 280watts at all. So I get on the phone with Pioneer, and Ask about the 280 watts set. THEY DON'T MAKE THEM IN 280 WATTS! I feel DECIEVED by Amazon and after having to Wait 2 whole Months to get them, to then have to call amazon to tell them they shipped me the Wrong speakers after Waiting 2 Months to get them. And they Still had NO CLUE, and are most likely sending me Another set of the 260 watt speakers since the "280 watts" DO NOT EXIST! I could have installed my stereo system 2 MONTHS AGO had Amazon advertised what they are selling CORRECTLY. I will most likely Drop my "Prime Membership" after this since you gotta Wait LONGER than the friggin Free Super Saver Shipping anyways.

I just started testing using a "kill a watt" meter($20) in cleveland. Skies that look like an ad for prozac. 65 watt max so far with 1killowatt hour accumulated over 1 week. My garage roof angle isn't the best(west). More data soon, follow up. Kw is a load measurement, kwhour is accumulated consumption.

Hi Chad Thank you for your message. The 600 watt grow light kit with eco sun reflector cover around 4-5 plants. Please do not hesitate to let us know if you have any questions. Thank you Customer Support Phillip

one is recommended by the manufacturer for the Non-Bloom 450w light - it's not for the Bloom 450w version, as that one is already red enough. Th 90w UFOs are for the Non Bloom lights.

The title & description says "Daylight" & "Full Spectrum" in other words 5500K. A full spectrum is great for both grow & Bloom. Personally own the 6500k & 2700k with the official Hydro Farm Hood & I like it!

On mine with 450watts it is showing about 22% usage, if linear them 1200 should show about @66%. I don't know if linear, personally I'd opt for a larger unit.

No at start up it runs at about 4.5 amps then tapers off to a constant 3.2 amps. You really get you bang for your buck with these. I would strictly use them for just veg though. Need something bigger come flower time.

Dude my light only pulls 148 w measured on my killawatt meter. The light also was no good for growing weed. I feel so ripped off.

i am using 2 as a supplement to my 2 200 watt CFLs. Just installed them so I will post once they are up for a while. My cucumbers taking up too much of the CFL light so the tubes are run vertically to get all the way to the top of the cucumber as well as lower for my kale and butter crunch salad

Hello! There is nothing extra that's needed to compliment this light's spectrum for flowering as it is already the absolute most complete spectrum that you can create using LED lights once both switches are used for flowering purpose. We use our proprietary 11-band spectrum which has been tuned, tried and tested for years with incredible results. If you're looking to not compliment the spectrum but compliment the *overall light footprint*, then that's a different story! 2 of these in a 4x4 tent would allow a very tight panel height above plant tops and only yield more and more. Or, step up to the 150x3w model.. Hello!

Hi Benjamin, I would say you would certainly need more watts for bigger and healthier plants.. It perfect for the seedling and helping them along once they sprout.. However, it's a bit narrow and not enough light for year round use.. You would probably need 4 of those little 54 watt bulbs to make it worthwhile..Good luck..

Yes just fine I just ordered a 490 cfm 6" for it but I have been using a 4" 290 cfm and i works fine I was using a 400 mh to veg and a 600 to flower now I use a 600 to veg andva 1000 to flower so I had to upgrade to a 6"! So you will be just fine!!

Mine produced one plant - don't know why, because ordinarily everything I touch grows really well I may have too much sun in my yard. They will needsun or light (I also grow hydroponically), but may do better in some shade.
