is this lamp just a very powerful mh lamp but with no hps lamp? In other words, is it a combination of both mh & hps or just mh?

its is both hps and mh but you have to use hps ballast in order to fire bulb

This light has an mh bulb and a hps bulb, and can be used for any plant stage.

Hey Benjamin There is a side-by-side comparison of the various lamps Philips makes at the end of the listing for the HF3470. It looks like it boils down to this: The HF3470 has a replaceable bulb (what that entails, I couldn't tell you. It looks like the HF3520 must be a "forever" bulb). The HF 3470 has a "sunrise simulation" which I dig, and helps me wake up more naturally, which is what I bought the product for in the first place, so that was important to me, but is it for you? Lastly, the HF3470 has 2 sound simulations whereas the HF3520 has 5. I wouldn't call that particular facet a deal breaker. It looks to boil down to the idea of the sunrise simulation and is that worth roughly $60 for you? Happy shopping.

No. It's just a heat lamp. It produces heat and light, although the light is minimal, comparatively speaking. It's too hot for my hens though. I had to go to a different wattage to avoid cooking them.

HPS is 3700K (red/yellowish) and MH is 6500K (white/blueish) I believe. I could be wrong its from memory... But the MH is for VEG, and HPS is for flowering. :)

I purchased two of these ORE lamps and find them very useful. However, they run on standard electric power and not battery. Also, due to the size of the lamp you are limited as to bulb size. The lamp harp is stationary and that requires the bulb be placed from the top of the lamp shade into the bulb socket. I use these lamps for background lighting and find them very good for that purpose.

Its an okay light. I actually sold mine. If i were to grow again i would probably go with hps

The lamps that I have tell me the bulb that I need to use in the lamp. We have two floor model gooseneck lamps that use this bulb.I wish I could help you. Did you lamp come with a sheet that tells you what kind of lamp you need? Probably not, or you would not be asking this question. It was just a thought.

2 of these would be more than enought to replace you 1000 watt hps...I wouldnt use it in conjuntion with led.. there 2 differant types of light.. Most of your hps light is wasted, about 70 % of it anyway...your plants only use 30% of the hps light to grow. the rest is just heat which causes more trouble than its worth..LED light is much differant. Your plants will be able to use 90% of this light to grow...They will be bigger greener and need less nutrients...also the electric bill will be about 90 bucks less a month without the use of your high power HPS system.

The lamp is the same as shown on the picture. I bought one recently and now it's hanging on top of my new kitchen island. I am very happy with the purchase and got many complements. However, be aware that it is not a very bright lamp, so if you are planning on using it as a main light source, you might want to look elsewhere and spend more.

Sorry... I do not know. I too liked the looks of it and bought it, thinking it was a complete lamp. Especially considering the price. When it arrived, it was useless to me without a lamp housing, so I returned it. Seller could have saved us a lot of time by providing a better description.

Unless you're using LED lighting, the standard MH/HPS lighting uses 6" end caps. As you can see, the holes through the tent have tie downs to hold sizes from 4" to 8". The 4" is loose & the 8" is tight, but it can be done. I hope this helps.

I will try to answer this question.. I bought the 600 watt version.. The HPS bulb is 2400 kelvin, the MH bulb is 4700 kelvin.. I was hopIng the MH bulb would be closer to 6500, but as it was it worked just great. Hope this helps.

I have not tried this but have researched it. Apparently You can run MH in a HPS fixture but not the other way around. The HPS ballast contains an igniter. In switchable ballasts this is turned off for metal halide. So it should work although the igniter may shorten your bulb life. They also make MH conversion bulbs that will run in a MH ballast but they are expensive and I am not sure they make them in 150W

Thanks for the info. I hope to goodness that the lamp life is not 3,000hrs! I've been waiting years to buy a projector that doesn't require rip-off bulb replacements. My own HS201 is on a UPS truck at this very moment, waiting to be delivered to my house...

I'm pretty sure this lamp can take a A19 LED Bulb which is really functional than a regular 40watts bulb. I really think it can. It also includes an in line on/off switch with 120 volts. Get the lamp. It's very nice and the design adds a retro decor to your establishment. Hope I've helped you with your questionaire.

It emits a VERY bright, even white light. Ignore the wattage, it really just confuses things due to the high quality of light this lamp produces. This lamp is one of my prized possessions as crazy as that sounds.
