Quote from: tolivac on May 29, 2018, 12:50:06 AM 315W CMH,and CHPS(600W).Compared the ceramic High pressure sodium to a Deluxe 250W HPS-the CHPS is whiter and gives a higher quality of light.The arc tube does run hotter.The CHPS does take about 20 min to get to its rated output and color.Running this in a Hortilux SE 600 fixture.A Hortiluix Blue MH came with this-and it gives a surprizingly good color quality.That light takes about 10 min to warm up.the fixture ballast is a 100Khz sine wave digital.Another bonus of this--no flicker on moving objects viewed under the light.Same with the 100Hz square wave ballast CMH 315W. All HPS lamps are ceramic, since they uses PCA ceramic material arctubes.

MV, HPS, MH, then incandescent. Though I like fluorescent as well but mostly in smaller form factor like CFL and plug in base types.

I love exotic discharge lamps myself: Spectral lamps Geissler tubes neon lamps incandescent arc lamps (Pointolite and zirconium arc) old medium pressure mercury lamps (MA- MB-) linear sodium lamps (SLI) blended mercury lamps (self-ballasted) are all types I am extremely interested in. Recently I have also become interested in fluorescent lighting as well, and have acquired some T17 lamps.  I stick mainly to F20T12 collecting though as my space is limited I stay away from xenon arc lamps.  I have no interest in keeping bombs in my house
