    The widest area at the bottom of the reflector is 18" across, bottom of the reflector to the top of the bracket is 19". Plus a few inches of 2x4 to brace up for the 50 lbs the thing weighs.
    Here's a link to what one 1kw plasma is supposed to do in veg compared to 6 x 400 watts of metal halide:

    yes but what you guys are forgetting to mention is the actual distant that light can emit its lumens. something like 16 feet you were saying ftw?

    I saw one at the PNW shop on Hastings about 9 yrs ago.You could not look into it, insanely bright.

    Imagine a no shaded one in a vertical set up.

    They're vegging up a bit, don't think I'm going to get these much larger before flipping them though, not really sure how big the footprint is & want to make sure all the tops stay in the light till it's finished.
    I think finishing them about 24" tall they should still be OK along the edges.
    Weather warmed up a bit, so they were under the plasma + 1 MH for a day then just the plasma since then & to the end. A couple guys think they'll do better with a sodium in there as well for the autumn spectrum but I want to do at least 1 show with just the plasma alone.
    I'll have to get myself a light meter one of these days to see just how far the intensity goes compared to the HID lights.

    NASA is adding calcium bromide to get the autumnal spectrum.This should eliminate the need 4 supplemental hps. Here is a link.

    The first unit I got was the red spectrum, but I plugged it in & no light came out... It was replaced with the full spectrum running now.
    Here they are after thier second day 12/12.
