Pros and Cons about MV lamps « on: November 08, 2006, 06:45:36 PM » Author: TudorWhiz
READ THIS FIRST


Here I am gonna start something fun for you......and educational so you guys can learn.....but here's the rules....

only one positive OR a negative on each post....not both Pos. and Neg., also if the post is a negative please put subject as "Negative" or if its a Positive subject it as Positive....

Also I would like each person to get chance to post something....Please don't post 2 times....instead if you are the last person to post.....wait for one other person to post...then you can post as long as there is no double post of the same person
__________________________________

Example

Post 1: Tom

Post 2: Jen (Tom can't Post this)

Post 3  Pim (it is OK for Tom to post...but Jen can't post on this since she was the last to post but can post on 4th)

Post 4: Matt (Tom and Jen either can post since the last person was Pim and Pim can't post this)

__________________________________

UPDATE: another idea I had...you can set the message icon to thumbs up for Positive and thumbs down for negative

So post only either one Pro or a Con about MV lamps....

Enjoy!

They put out a much more soothing light than HPS and are easier to see with at night.

This kind does not bother trees since they are blind to green lighting and gets the day and night cycle properly unlike HPS

Mercury Vapor lamps are compatible with metal halide ballasts of equivalent wattage. (Except the SCWA ones.)

Even a cheap low quality MV is more reliable than a low quality HPS or MH.
