darren19822000 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 ok so i found a 125W Envirolite - Red (2700K) light on ebay (its the same one that the uk420 store sells but i am in america and they dont ship grow lights here ((too expensive)). my question is what do i plug it into? is there a specific lamp that goes with it? i couldnt find anything other than the light bulb on ebay so im hoping its something that is easily accesible. the uksstore only has the bulb as well...so i need to know what to plug it into.. also, how do these lights do compared to a regullar hps lamp? is it better or worse? which would be more ideal to buy? thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aventinusdampf Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 (edited) You need an E40 socket. There are different reflectors available as well. And the results are depending on what you're aiming for. Edited August 25, 2006 by aventinusdampf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthebadman Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 hps and mh are better as your getting more light but if you have a small grow in a small area enviros are better as they give out less heat :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthebadman Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 and with enviros you dont need a ballast as they all ready are in the light all you need is a e40 fitting and a shade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perry Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 (edited) you can get the fitting in most hydro shops and some lighting shops they are about 10 pound soz dont know what it is in dollars also i think you need a blue evirolight for vegging Edited August 25, 2006 by perry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MigrowGardener Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 the plant you have in your probable growspace without an envirolite or e40 connector or the plant you want to have in an actual growspace with an envirolite and an e40 connector?

Halfatree Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 I have little knowledge of electrics.. but if you are buying a Envirolite from a European site, you better check voltage etc. is going to work on your American Power system... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclops Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 (edited) Europe voltage is 220 t0 240 volts .. USA if my memory is right is 110 volts. There is a transformer you can get from hardware or diy shops but cant tell you what they would cost. or specifics on who sells them. There are us users on this site perhaps one of them can give you that detail Edit you could possibly get the transformer Via a ham radio dealership. They use them as the equipment from the UK is sold to US Hams Edited August 27, 2006 by cyclops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
