How much area will a 600 watt HPS cover?

How much area will a 600 watt HPS cover?

around 36 square feet
600-Watt HPS grow lights are the most efficient HPS grow lamp. 600W HPS grow lights produce more light output per Watt used than other wattages and cover around 36 square feet. 1000-Watt HPS grow lights are the most powerful and cover a wider area of around 49 square feet.

How far should you run 600 watt HPS?

The optimum hanging height for a 600W HPS system is only 40cm or 16″. Even at this low height a lot of light will shine on the side walls and have to be reflected down onto the grow. The reflective materials will not reflect all of the light and there will be some light lost (heating the walls).

What is the LED equivalent of a 600W HPS?

In terms of power usage (605 watts) and output, it is equivalent to a 1000 watt LED light, but the coverage area is closer to the best 600w lights and the price is lower than all other quality lights. That is why we included it here, instead of our list of the best 1000w lights.

How much will a 600 watt HPS yield?

Sixteen plants that are grown under a 600-watt HPS lamp could produce about 37.5 grams or 1.3 oz of marijuana per plant. Under perfect, outdoor conditions, you can expect yields to extend to 500 grams or 17.5 oz per plant.

How many watts does a 600W HPS use?

around 670w
See our blog ‘HPS – how much electricity do they really use? ‘ to find out exactly what we’re talking about. For our example below, we’re using a common wattage draw for a 600w HPS, which is around 670w.

How long does a 600W HPS bulb last?

You’ll get a good 24,000 hours out of an HPS lamp. When they do start to degrade, though, HPS bulbs tend to depreciate in their blue spectrum output first. They typically need to be replaced about every 10 to 14 months.

Can you dim a 600W HPS?

While it is completely possible to dim your HID grow lights, we would say don’t do this if it is at all avoidable because the relative efficiency will take a hit. It would be better and more efficient to use a 600 watt grow light at full power rather than to use a dimmed 1000 watter.

What height should my grow lights be?

Depending on the size of the light, it is safe to keep grow lights located somewhere between 24-36 inches from the top of the soil.
