LED Companies w/ LINKS

^^^Yeah I heard Mars has made a special add-on accessory in his honor.

STOP!...........Hammer Time!
 
I just bought a Platinum P600 LED and jesus christ its INTENSE. you can buy 2 mars II 700w's and go get you a burger/beer after for the same price tho.
click my link in my sig

So do the Roleardo/Galaxyhydro COBs actually pump out the wattage they advertize? For instance, is this one 400 actual watts @ 132x3w chips? Does anyone own this product or something similar in quality? Does it work as well as the DIY COBs?

looks like a pos to me....idk...seems pretty fishy....they post the specs of the 3070 on the page, but say only that the Roleadro "improved" them without saying how....

Yeah it does sound a little fishy, perhaps too good to be true at $160 Amazon price... but you never know. My 300w LED made by the same guys does what it says it does. I'm curious to see what wattage this "400w" COB really pulls.
EDIT cuz I need a COB under $200 to complement my 300w LED by the time my 6 younglings get to flowering stage, preferably ASAP so they get tons of lumens early on in veg xD
RE-EDIT Looks like you're right, mc, looking at the consumer reports it grows decent but some people had to deal with chips going out and shit... does not sound fun. I will probably look into inexpensive DIY COB build materials at this point.

Any opinions?
I'm a new member & will figure out how to post links later.
Wanted to say though, I'm glad I signed in on RIU. There's more people that know wazup here it seems. Great thread!

possibly better than the standard throwaway cheap Chinese light, but then maybe not. The case is interesting, unfortunately its depending on the multi-spectrum multi-diode Chinese cob leds which have a very bad reputation.

white phosphor cobs is the current level of technology to aim for.
 
Now let's not jump the gun and state that the ALT Radiants use the same cheap Chinese multi chip arrays that are known to have a bad rep. For all we know it could be more along the lines of Kessil's dense matrix arrays in terms of quality. No one has used these yet or done an in depth analysis, so we just don't know enough to write them off.

fair enough, although I'm betting a white phosphor cob will beat the pants off of it.

I'm responding on both the Radiant & the Pro-Grow here. I don't know much about the Radiant fixture but I did research all I could on the Hydroponics Hut.
I don't think their the cheap, low-quality light some think they are. What I found interesting is that upon veiwing these lights several times on the web-site is that there other lights, other then the Pro-Grow 750, like their X5 series (5 watt diodes surrounding a COB) have 5 watt chips that employ their exact spectrum rather then separate colored Monos. So, what do they have multi-chips in 5 & 3 watt? The company (HH) stated that they are the only ones with this technology & that is why they won't release much tech. Info. I couldn't even get the PAR readings never mind a grid with an average over said coverage areas. But even know I wasn't happy with the customer service (answering my many questions & getting back to me) I am still considering getting the X5-500 so I can run it against an AMARE SE-450. When I did finally talk to someone, he said they've been around for 7 years & were one of the first successful LED grow lights. I asked why no-one seems to know about them then & he said that's because most business/sales go to commercial growers. If you do the math on these lights they are only $1.35-$1.75 a watt. So, The cost is very reasonable although I'd much rather have a $/PAR figure to work with as that's what matters most in my opinion with spectrum. I agree the white LEDS rock but I'm not totally convinced that a more efficient chip that equals electrically / lumens per watt will grow me bud most efficiently? For instance, check out the spectrum on the Pro-Grow. It is actually a full spectrum, just low on green. I think green should be there just not on the excess that is given from white LEDS. A white chip may be more efficient to use but I still can't believe it will outgrow a full spectra R&B peaked white, low on green, selected wisely. I aim to purchase both a quality white or a white with peaks in R+B @ 500watts & a quality R+B dominant but full spectrum light (low green but there) & run them in a journal. I think our girls need all colors of the Curve to grow right, it's just that a full white I don't think will compare. I wish someone has done this test for us to see. I am either way. LMK from you guys experiences as I'm new to LED. I am in no way bias. Thanks! BTW, I run HPS/MH so I know those imperfect specs grow me big bad bitches. SSL!

fyi the blurple spectrum with no green was devised for growing lettuce Vegetative material aka cool season plant that usually develops in the early or late part of the years and usually is not allowed to flower at all....cannabis is neither...
