| If it were mine, I would do 2 day and 2 act. When I built my MH fixtures, I had 2 day VHO in front and 2 VHO act in the back. One switch for 1 day and actinic and another switch for the other set.
I didnt know VHO are still in circuclation with hobbyist, not that it did not do its job. If you can do dealys (dimmer), its even better.
My time schedule were day + act @ 7AM (like I said, w/ dimmer is better) then MH b/n 10-11AM , then another VHO combo for 12-3PM, then MH goes off b/n 5-6PM and the one that was on in the morning goes off at night. If you want the lifetime time of VHO last the same time, you could have one that came on in the morning go off at 3PM and one that came on at noon to go off at night.
Hope this helped. |
