    Default 400 watt super lumens???

    My new 400 watt ballast has a "Super Lumens" setting. I have not used it, but was wondering what and when it's used for. Anyone use it on a lamp?

    Super Lumen tends to give a 10-15% increase of... well, lumens

    So your 400w bulb is fed 440/460w of power & shines brighter for it

    Perfect for a boost in flower

    Do you know if you need a special 400 watt HPS lamp, or so long as it rated 400 watts it's OK?
