Well right now my tents are sitting in a 65 degree room. My tent sits at 70 degrees with it running at 600w. I have a wimpy 4inch exhaust fan on as low as possible. Much cooler then any 600w hps I have run in this exact tent in the exact same location. Probably will have to turn up the fan when it gets warmer but so far very minimal cooling vs my hps which I HAD to have aircooled or it would be into the high 80s quick.
Thanks. So your saying yes, if one was to fill a 20'x20' room up with your lights then one will have to get a split system.
They do put off heat no doubt. Just much less. You could probably get away with half the tonnage in ac.
How many amps does this light run? Beautiful lamp by the way!!!
In a sealed room absolutely.
Thanks. Also have to figure in on a 20'x20' room there has to be a co2 generator, so we do have to account for that heat as well. I know some will say you don't have to have a co2 generator, but you really do.
Thank you! Around 5.5 ish on the max. Down to around 0.5 when dimmed. She's a beut. Very happy with it so far. Been running 24/0 for a week and no issues. Heatsinks cool to the touch.
Is there a grand in parts in your build?
Yes usd plus some little things I had already like wire and boxes and connectors etc. Worth it in every aspect for me. Less power less heat and we'll see if I can get what I usually get with a thouie.
Can you make a few more lights? Because my Cree stock is almost back to where i bought it at.
I was referring to the extra ventilation fan and tubing needed specifically for the AC/DE hood. That said, I have not used my AC since September and wont be using it until April when the humidity sets in. If you can successfully switch from HPS to COB and get the same job done with half the watts, that would cut your total heat down by 1/2.
I recognize your sarcasm but to answer your question we get CXB3590s from Jerry at Kingbrite for ~ $45 each. Commercial growers probably would be using them if they knew and most likely will be using them soon. Efficiency on COBs might be nearing the law of diminishing returns but prices will keep coming down.
OK, LMK when they take over the market, as of now, it's hearsay.
I agree, for now it is hearsay but COBs really are a game changer and you can take advantage of it now if you choose to. It will take some time to go mainstream, maybe by the time COBs catch on we will be onto something else.
God dam!!! Those are bushing out nicely!!!
Good eye, I don't see the red in the original photos.
There's two separate tents shown. One with the 4 plants is the area 51 tent. The right side is the RW150s and the left is the xgs 190s. The tent with 6 plants in it is my diy build.
