Ttystikk's vertical goodness

[Michael Huntherz]

For my personal use as a person with traumatic injuries I will get a medical card and grow my little heart out. The commercial aspect is not a regular part of my cannabis relationship, and I like it that way. I will have to give ounces to friends regularly to stay below the possession limit.

However, if they opened up license applications again, then I would pounce on it like a leopard. Leopards are badass.

Me neither. BTW, there are six ladies in that pic, three to a side.

Those are water lines in the top left of the pic, they're running to the water cooled air handler just out of the frame at the top.

how is the heat load?have you been able to gauge the amount of heat difference between your old lights and these?

 

[Vnsmkr]

They dont generate any heat I think is the correct answer. @ttystikk isnt that right

I replaced 5400W of 860W Allstart lamps on magnetic ballasts with 5400W of COB LED. The heat load isn't appreciably different. The light? Now that's a different story!

This isn't true, even the light emitted turns to heat. It's the same 5400W...

Ok. Woah mamma. That's some light. How did the allstarts do? I will eventually drop some coin on decking out my space but it may be a bit before I'm all led. Good going man.

Can't wait.to see what you built.

The allstart lamps put out about a pound a plant, on average, perhaps a bit more. I'm expecting to see half again that much on average.

Five years and you'll be seeing them in every well dressed warehouse in the country.

Is the draw still 1k or is actual draw close to the 860 of the lamp? I would imagine there is some inefficiency in there but I'm guessing they are better than running an hps 1k.

Cobs are the wave of the growing future for now... Lol. Never know whats coming really....

Shit. That's true for life in general.

Wonder when a company is going to come out with a 4 chip 200 watt 5000k to compete with the 8 bulb t-5 market. With all the t-5s being sold around the world this would seem to be a huge money maker. I mean half the amps with the same foot print and better photon counts. If a company could get it to market around 270.00-300.00 they'd be rich in minutes.

 

[SomeGuy]

Mongo. I built 36" long vero10 bars. 38w each bar running 5vero10 5000k. They Rock. Cheap to build and could go to market at 180$ each. Definitely a t-5 killer

I cant believe no ones brought this to market yet. If 180.00 then its a no brainer. Does your 5000k veg super well?

 

[SomeGuy]

Yes. @Mohican has the two bars I made right now to see how he likes them. They do well. I want 4 of them for the 4*4 tent.

 

[SomeGuy]

I should add that I previously vegged the 4*4 w just the two. Four would be super charged. Lol

 

[Waiks]

That stem. Holy shit! Nice

So the middle wall thing is the rack of cobs? Is the whole area the same foot print as what 3 of your old lights were covering?

The total draw is the same 5400W. 5x860W allstart on magnetic- more like 1080W each, between my single phase 240V and the magnetic boat anchors driving them.

Each of my COB modules pulls 225W; 54W to each of 4 COBs and the last 8 or 9 watts for the driver. 824PPfD over a 2'x3' space... times 24 modules. That's good for 56% "plus" efficiency, which rips the doors clean off anything with a light bulb in it by half again or

6x24=144sq ft, can't wait to see what happens next!

We can do this for $400 today. It's only a matter of time.
