Nice! On a side note, what is the HPS wattage equivelent for 90w LPS?

Thanks! I'm not sure what the equivalent HPS lamp for a 90w LPS though.

@streetlight98
A 90 W LPS gives about 12000 lm, which is between a 100 W and 150 W HPS with 9000 and 15000 lm respectively (for HPS in 220-240 V areas anyway, some lower wattage HPS lamps are different in 100-120 areas). But, in a fixture with a reflector or other optics, HPS would give more light output for the same lamp lumens, becuase of the way smaller arc tube allows more efficient optics to be made to a reasonable size.
So I would say 100 W is the closest equivalent.

I guess LPS isn't that much more efficient than HPS than.

But it certainly looks cool warming up. Razz

I am still trying to find one of these!
