[geo923007]

I have been talking to welthink about. Uying some ballast direct to resell. They are aware of the past problems. And they have told me that alot of the isuues have been taking care of and that the quality is better. Not sure what that means...

^^^^ I think it means they want to sell you whatever they have available

What are people willing to pay.

Philips 315 ballast with 6ft cord power cord and 12ft lamp cord, with housing. Not sure if housing is needed.
Cdm 315 930 agro lamp.
Phantom 315 cdm reflector.
277 to 120 converter transformer.

Basically a complete ready made plug and play kit.

Thinking possibly 3 super sun 2's converted to 315's over a 3X6 SOG space would rock and save a lil bit in electricity over 2 600's .. If you could sqeeze 3 hoods in that space..

Didn't find the phantom total 315w kit listed anywhere, but I put in a request for a quote from Horticulture Source. It looks pretty fresh on the market.

Came across this related discussion while googling: https://midnightsuncoop.com/forum/showthread.php?536-315-Watt-CMH-propaganda

So I heard back from Horticulture Source about the new Phantom package. They just listed it. Now THIS is a reasonable price for plug and play CMH! Understand that shipping is $40-50 additional, but that still has it going for a delivered price of around $370. Bulb included. It is also 120/240v, which is a really nice option to have.

Hoping someone who buys the Phantom reflector can eventually post some pics of the unboxing and set-up. I'm still a few weeks away from purchase.

I havent seen it explained here but what is the purpose of the silver paint on the external surface of the glass jacket of the 930 or 942 bulb?

Are there any issues if part of it is abraided off?

The only lamp that I have that has silver paint on it is an Agro that I bought from Cycloptics. I thought that they had done it to eliminate a hot spot directly under the lamp, considering that their reflector depends almost entirely on reflected light. None of my Philips 930's have the paint.

Likewise the T9 930's I acquired thru Amazon. No paint.

Yeah it is a 942 from cycloptics. I dont actually know about the 930, i bought a 942 equipped GB. The bulb extends just past the lip of the reflector and i set it on my floor which scuffed it a bit

Im not overly concerned since it runs fine
