Ttystikk's vertical goodness

My thoughts are flat vertical screens with COB lighting systems without lenses, sandwich in between. Spacing would need to be figured out to maintain airflow , but I believe that this would be the way to maximize space and efficiency.

I repeat all this occasionally to provide a reference for comparison to what I've had before, what I'll do later, and what others are running.

Tonight's occasion is the COB test done on the vertical plant that the owner concluded was inadequate to replace their trusty HPS lamps.

The original design, a pic of which is still on the thread, was a box with COBS on all four sides. 800W in this shape would seem to be a good match for a thouie hung vertically. It wouldn't need lenses because it's designed to throw light in all directions. I still think this design has possibilities, and @legallyflying I suggest you try it again in this configuration. It would be a simple and low risk swap for a thousand watt HPS.

When the design was split into several component pieces, two things happened; one, it lost its ability to be compared directly to a thousand watt lamp anywhere, and two it had the original advantage of no lenses or reflectors turned into a disadvantage; there are fears of light lost because it's missing the plant entirely? Not sure if that's the case in your setup.

If the pieces were assembled into a flat array, they could once again bring their advantage of distributed light intensity fruitfully to bear. Maybe if all the cobs were aimed at a wall of buds it would also do better? Your panels are flat, just like mine... dunno, spitballing.

I had mine a week and gave it away. Worst piece of shit vape I've owned! My $20 Hebe Titan 2 was a better vape!
I've tried/owned most of the so called good ones. I keep going back to my Davinci Ascent and original Davinci. big hits from both, and the Ascent I can use all day for 2-3 days without a recharge! Its awkward to fill but other than that, its the bomb! I have a Mighty also. Nice cool vape, but just doesn't produce the thick vapor of the Ascent.

Here, I'll add some more dribble.
My Pax 2 started having blinking blue light faults. I bought 2 at the same time and the power button stopped working on the one I gave my friend after 3 months afterwhich he disected it and performed surgery himself few times before contacting Ploom where they told him they couldnt fix it even if HE paid for it, so he smashed it into bits with a sledge hammer :).
Now after that I started cleaning mine religiously and it has performed perfectly, until this fucking blue light started blinking and it won't function. Send it back they say, we'll replace it. I've only had it for ~9 months

I don't know a lot about lights, but how do you plan on running these COB vertical.
I don't see how vertical LED's will work, you have to keep the plants so far from the lamp. I need a damn drawing! LOL

Today's installment of Children of the COB. Yes, they're fried, EC was too high so I ran it down to 1.8, and then they eat it down from there.

Sometimes the shit life give us is good shit, but not always. Fight the good fight, you will be killing it this year with those lights, I have no doubt.
