Ahh, twelve acres of country land I'm assuming? How's the soil like out there?
I am not trying to concentrate the beam. I am trying to spread it out to reduce height between light and canopy.a convex lens or bat wing lens may do this. I have also considered making a cone shaped mirrored reflector to reflect the light in a larger pattern.2' x 2'.....100w cob....8 ".....
You should burn a hole through the canopy just fine without a reflector...
Reflectors are more for taller spaces where you can raise the light high enough to get a good footprint.
The usefulness is debatable too. I go back and forth between using them and not...
I just came across this moments ago. Haven't read through it all the way but it may serve as helpful with your decision making.
The rolling hills remind me a little of rural Oregon (which is beautiful).There's 4 of us, I do designing, managing and funding, I have 2 guys that do soldering and assembling, and 1 accounting person.
Yeah, it's super rural. There's neighbors and whatnot, but they're far away.

Different days of course... One cold and gloomy, the other is a sunset on a nice day.
Right now the soil is wet and cold.
LumiGrow uses a combination of 3 and 5 watt diodes; the Pro series specifies top-binned OSRAM diodes.
Nice dude, real nice. THanks for posting that thread.
where does it specify that? can't find any info that confirms this................where's guod???
Ledengin on old models...where does it specify that? can't find any info that confirms this................where's guod???
Somehow I thought it wasn't 100% osram due to the diode wattage diff, so thanks for clarification...........so both clw/lg old panels where using ledengin. Wonder what clw new ss panels are using for "5w" 660nm then?
Yeah pretty much, never seen bin#s stated anywhere on any of their units.
............I don't remember what went down anymore
When he said bins I perked up too...I have looked everywhere and no even mention of bins. But the chips are solid even if just mid bins. LG's are decent imo. I have tested them in person a few times. What gets me about them is, the design(very small box for 650w and the coverage it claims)...and the weight(I cant's it being the ultimate in cooling ability). And the fans blow straight don on the plants...not ideal to me.Somehow I thought it wasn't 100% osram due to the diode wattage diff, so thanks for clarification...........so both clw/lg old panels where using ledengin.

Is their a reason why we don't recommend LG since the release of these?.......was it always just about them pissing us off over the BS par#s and not mostly "white" power ??
Pricing/reviews seem solid on the GH site
You could say the same about your beloved heliospectra L series ........same deal then
so 2 out of three^^ on you list? lol.............but I knew you where going to post that
