I was wondering why so many pannels but it makes sense they wanna cover as much of the roof as possible vs. just meet the energy needs of the house.
I know these cmh suck down a little more juice than leds so now
@Capt. C has some room to expand.

This was a bit of an impulse buy and may have been slight financial disadvantage for the unit.
I looked at piecing a system together but unless I went to several diffrent stores (online) I couldn't put together a system like this for the price. Thought about running an open lamp on socket but I simply ame not going to grow enough plants big enough to take advantage of the system.amd justify the risk imo.
The bulb (NIB) also has a manufacture date of 2016? and when looking again I am not sure I like the lamp as much thinking the horilux hits the uv better, I notice the base of the philips lamp says uv block. Just looking at the construction the extra glass layer on the phillips is also concerning, both lamps are rated for open install in any position, so in the end I could have gotten the horrilux unit for about what I spent on the phantom and will probably spend on a horrilux lamp. One benifit I think this has is the remote ballast. Have not sparked a gas lamp in 20 years so if anyone (
@Capt. C ?) has any advice I'd sure appreciate it.
