Hoping someone can help me figure this out. I am looking to put a new water cooled system into my grow room using a chiller, and hydro innovations ice box.
As the title says, I am trying to find out how many BTU's an hour a 600w HPS light puts out. I was told that a 600 puts out something around 4k btu's an hour...but all my research says it should be more around the lines of 2k/hr?
You can see where I got these figures here:

Anyway, does anybody know for sure how many BTU's a 600w kicks out? I just want to be sure here.
I have a 1/4 HP chiller that is rated for 3k BTU's, so I am really hoping that I was misinformed in the first place (about the 4k btu's). If my chiller can pull 1k BTU's more an hour than my light produces, I should be fine right?
