how many watts of an HPS does this light equate to? How many would I need to purchase to replace a 1000w hps??

without a lumen meeter it is not possible to give a proper comparison. But I can say this is super bright. The first time I plugged it in my cat jumped and ran for the hills. It is also charged a small led night light that runs for most of the night. It might be close. I am however loosing the tomato blooms, not sure if my aquaponics is missing a nutrient or if the light is wrong for tomato blooms and the growing room is a little cool. That is all I have.

Dear Mstruyf , Nice day. Thanks for your interest on this item. This is Lydia from customer service team, it's my pleasure to help you. So you mean the size or the watt of the LED? If for the watt of the LED, 250W or 400W is much better. Thanks for your time and best regards! Lydia

Depends on the types of bulbs you use - this is a 200W unit and we bought ours to operate six halogen path lamps plus three spotlights, where the sticker value load was around 130 W, i.e. we could have run abouyt twice as many of the pathway lights or teo more spotlights. In the last couple of years, LEDs have become affordable and these use about 15% of the power, so you can run a few dozen lights off one of these.

if you have 13 lights and they are 4 watts, that would be a total of 52 watts, you should be fine! I run 10 lights with 7 watts. and have for three or four years.

Since they sell a 10 W 900 lumens light for half the price, I presume that the 1800 lumens is for both of them, as together they draw 20 W. (would have been cheaper to purchase two singles though, since one is 30 bucks) see .LEDSTORE 10W CREE High Power LED Work Light Lamp Off Road Bike Motorcycle 2" 30 Degree Spot. Looks similar? There is a nice customer picture with one mounted too.

This system comes with 3 lights, each with 4 color balanced bulbs, times 45 watts each, for at total 180 watts per lamp. They work great, so I see no need to exceed what the manufacture has specified for it. Hope this answers your question.

250 HPS. No, but why use it....the newer HPS bulbs have enough spectrum to veg and flower.

both comments below are wrong, the lumens would be 95,000. given the info from the ushio website you can do the math {95,000(lux)x0.0122(hps[source])=1,159(par)}. the website says 1,150 par so you can do the math backwards to figure out the lumens. this can be done for mh bulbs too by substituting the source to (0.0141). regardless this is a badass bulb that pumps out 7,000 more lumens than the standard hps bulb! hope this helps!

Truthfully, I don't know. However It can handle load of 121W Total. Usualy you add all the wattage of all the lights etc. that should not exceed more than 121W. I am running all LED fixtures each with 3 watt. I have about 15 fixture on the circuits. I have don't have any trouble with it.

On the box it says to use only up to 75 watt when I went to petsmart. I don't know what this box says because I threw mine away. When I used 100 watt bulbs the lights blew in about 2-3 weeks every time. After I changed to 75 watts, it lasts for a lot longer.

In terms of the wattage, I would definetely recommend going higher than the rated requirement by around 1.5x (so technically 2250W+ if available). The ratings are never an exact number (or for constant pull of power-just a peak output) and even if they were it would be running right to the edge of its potential in your case, which would not likely end well.

the ballast has to be HPS and wattage compatible. if you can afford it, the best is the dual arc 1000w

Hard to say really. I replaced the 75 watt bulbs with 100watt ones. I have 2 rigs and use them in small club settings.they provide plenty of light for our four members.

1000W.My only gripe is that the "finished" beep is an annoyingly loud three long beeps. Otherwise a very good 1000 watter for the price.

I'm not 100% sure what Watts it will support, can only say i'm using a 16W Engery Saver light bulb with it & no problem (which equals 60-Watt incandescent A19) By the way, the packaging have the following listed: - fully adjustable head rotate 360' - 3 1/4" extension - For use with standard base household bulb, or reflector type flood or spot, up to 660Watts - C.U.L. listed - 250V 660W &lt;&lt;-- not sure coz i have not tested nor think i'll use any bulb that strong
