Cidley LED's

I've been using Cidley for about a year now, and not having too many complaints.
But I wonder if there is something better in the price range?

Anyone else have experience with Cidley?

There's not enough information on their web site to quantify the amount of light and compare.

I've been using them about a year, with success (I think lol).

Its time to expand, and I was hoping someone had experience with them, or something similar in the price range.

I've been using 2 of the Apollo 8 models per 4x8 tent, 6 ladies in each tent.

Yeah, iv'e used them. I'd save my pennies, buy cobs one by one even.

Anything specific I should be looking for?

 

[Tazbud]

Yes, Cree CXB, Bridgelux Vero, genuine chips. No idea what those are personally ^ seems like a pretty obscure reference you found there..

my bad, you said cob, so I went to Cob-led.com, I thought it was the brand?

 

[Tazbud]

No, Cree and Bridgelux are brands. There are a few new startup companies on here using them (as well as Area 51).
They'll cost a bit more, you seem to have reasonable results with the Apollos but iv'e not seen too many other finished grows (i'm no expert and haven't followed every thread through) but they are definitely worth the extra expense from what iv'e found.

Awesome, thank you for the info!!!

Cree and Bridgelux don't sell panels ready to hang though do they? I'll check out Area 51, and some others.

I'd love them in a long strip.

I've got an Apollo8...been using it a couple of years. It works fine. Also have an A51 XGS-190, and grow about the same quantity from both, however, the XGS uses less energy, and is better built, in general. The flowers are prettier, too!
