None that would produce less heat than a HPS.

While you're led to believe that these "300W" fixtures replace a 600W HPS, the truth is that even they won't beat a 250W HPS.

Sounds like I have some work with fans and ducts to do...

I figure this will be like any other technology though... The units will get less expensive as time goes on.

OK...for a totally basic LED setup, what is the best inexpensive solution you folks know of? Based on a 4x2 tent grow?

Sorry man...we're not rich...:cry:

(And thanks for your help so far... it is greatly appreciated)

Is it daisy chain or they actually connect to each other. I wonder Whats the benefit in physically connecting them to each other .

The daisy chain effect allows multiple fixtures to be ran together with a single plug in the wall rather than multiples. It also reduces some excess of wires and makes a grow room look more organized.

Buy an a51 rw150 and put it next to the cheap led in the 2x4. On the 2nd run I bet there are 2 150s in there?

I see what you did there^^.....................lol

Honestly a 250w hps isn't that efficient, a 150w hans panel should beat it on yield...........or not:eyesmoke:

Han's test grower side by side is progressing nicely NW/DR vs R/B/DR, don't see how he believes his standard panel gets 20% more yield than the white/red.

Aren't you supposed to test them BEFORE you sell them...lol

Or..if he tested them already to find a 20% flower reduction...then...why sell them!?

And i guess a valid question would be...if cree xpls were used instead of xbds would there still be a 20% difference?

You're right, a 250W HPS isn't that efficient but I was talking about Apollo and GalaxyHydro LEDs with less 200W input. A 250W HPS would beat them. I'd even say by a large margin.

Haha. Are those the coolers that are pre-drilled/tapped?

I'm all for a few DIY people taking some initiative and making a little cash. But I am really hoping to see an actual production/professional panel/light with top end COBs. Not these DIY Frankensteins with high mark ups.
I have said this about the optics too...90% of the DIYs on RIU are more complete and professional.

Anyways...just my thoughts.

I believe they are.

Side note: It doesn't make ethical sense for Optic to sell higher wattage fixtures at higher prices when most, if not all, the parts remain the same throughout the various makes.. ; they sell the Vero 29 500W make for ~$200 more than the 360W but use the same quantity of parts.

Just a little competitive business roasting for those in attendance.

:wink:

Good point.

A while back optic used 2, 4, or 6 cobs to achieve the different power ratings.
