so do you have to point these crees a certain angle>? what works best, directing the light from the side, by running them sideways, or shine them directly down, by hanging them verically? I know the expensive led lighting systems have to be angled properly so it made me wonder
Yeah, at this point, I think you're right. I'm going to get a 2 or 3 bulb splitter, some cord and put my own thing together with some Cree bulbs. I might choose something else later on down the road, but it seems like the best choice at this point. Thanks for the suggestion.
I have some different types of homemade fixtures I made a while ago in my sig... one uses an old hood from a piggyback ballast off a 1000w MH lamp and the others are stripped down Home Depot 3 light bath fixtures....Wow! Thanks! I was just looking at the splitters! HA! Nice timing. Yeah the drop in umols was significant enough for me to warrant going with multiple single-bulb fixtures…or maybe trying to wire something together *gasp!* by myself….
Any suggestions for what kind of fixture or fixtures to use?
Thanks
Yes! I am trying to fight surgery, but I have injured my back before...sucks, also found a small fracture in the L3, might have been a past injury who knows.....L5-S1 sound familiar?
You would only need two lights to cover your 2x4 grow space.Looking to purchase A51 LED's
What do you guys suggest for a 2x4x5 tent, utilizing a (5) 5gal Bucket URDWC system.
Mostly, I will flower in it. I was looking at (2) of the RW-150 or should I go (1) XGS-190 and (2) RW-150, or (1)XGS-190 and (2) RW-75, man decisions, decisions. Please guide a fellow here. I've read a lot about A51 lights here at R.I.U but I'm still confused on what combo. Are (3) LED's to much for that grow space. Thanks for the help.
Thanks, I knew the height was an issue and I know the RW-150's can get a little closer than the XGS-190. I was limited by height where the tent is.You would only need two lights to cover your 2x4 grow space.
The RW-150 yields a little better than the XGS-190, due to the deeper red spectrum.
Otherwise, they're pretty similar, except for the color of the light emitted.
If you're looking for the bigger yield, go with two RW-150's.
If you're interested in seeing what an all white LED light can do, go with two XGS-190's.
The bigger issue for you is height, as you need 18"-24" between the light, and the canopy.
If you can manage that, you'll be all set.
Good luck.
You're welcome.Thanks, I knew the height was an issue and I know the RW-150's can get a little closer than the XGS-190. I was limited by height where the tent is.
Would (3) of the RW-150 be overkill. I'm going to LST and SCROG it all. And I'm in no hurry.
yep! on the wallet too, thanks againYou're welcome.
Yes, three RW-150's would be overkill.
You might also consider BML Horticulture barsThanks, I knew the height was an issue and I know the RW-150's can get a little closer than the XGS-190. I was limited by height where the tent is.

There's a few good options for you.
If you're doing mostly flowering, either the 75 or the 150 is the best option. 3-4 of the 75s, 2 of the 150s, or a 150 and a 75. Personally, I'd go with 3 of the 75s.
Regards,
Jeff
what you guys think?
I'm still leaning towards the (2) 150's for more watts and better coverage I think.
Did my previous grow with a CFL but I am planning to switch to a LED for next grow.
I saw a few LED lights with a Red/Blue spectrum dimmable feature. Is it useful ?
Also do these lenses called 3x lens on light better for flowering ?
With a max budget around $100, is more power important or the secondary lenses
