Yesterday I watched about a new style of lamp.
Ceramic HPS.
Has anyone heard about or used them ?
I thought it very interesting. Similar to when I wanted to use a red metal halide.
I believe it is new Tek.
What do people think ?
Edit: here’s the link.

Thank you for sharing, time for me to go learn xD
@FicklePickle, I did use the search bar but couldn’t find anything.
Sorry to jack you topic lolo
I STILL WANT TO KNOW WTF THEY ARE THOUGH lololol 
I think he shared this video recently:
Sounds like the Maxibright works on regular HPS ballasts, where as it seems like the hortilux needs its own proprietary ballast?
Cant find anyone selling the Maxibright yet.
lololoool, this is the irish guy i was talking to lolololo… " ironic "

They have to be run on a special ballast that has the E chip
Im going to try… We will see how they work, i hope its not a waste of money.
I dont believe it’ll be a waste. Looks like a killer mix. Hopefully more uvb light… so more thc! 
Were buying them for the facility soon. Just have to balance the bulb order with EVERYTHING else. Lol. I’m planning to either checker board them in the room, or do the whole room in them
I have always been in pursuit of a red metal halide that works …
This might be " the thing "
whole room…
1 room CHPS, 1 room " other things " lolo
We do have 2 identical rooms. I’ll do that, this way we can see true side by sides on the genetics
I subscribe to his channel, he’s very informative with led lights, and lighting in general.
I’d definitely like to try one of these bulbs.
@FicklePickle, not sure about the de bulbs, but I think the 600w ones can use ol hps ballasts.
It says in the description you can use hps ballasts for em.
@pangea, I haven’t found a us supplier either, lemme know if you find one and ill do the same.
100% agree
I’ve solely been looking at de’s
I got a few of these to try out, going to get them setup soon.
Did you end up ordering these? I don’t think I seen you posting on the other light thread about them.
on hortis de cmh= great spectrum 60 000 lumens. On hortis single end blue cmh= 80 000 lumens. I just got one. It costs way more than the de version too.
hortilux has had single ended cmh that work on hps ballasts for over 12 years. its a great bulb but expensive. I may be wrong it may not be cmh, but the hort super blue rocks and is a metal halide that runs in hps ballasts.
