Tasty LED discussion thread

A new product line is in the works. Lead times are uncertain but end of 2016 should be the worst case scenario.

Most of the details have been worked out but it's top secret for now.

Mmmmm, whetting our appetites for something new and tasty!

Harvesting now...I got 16.75 oz off of the Alien OG in the middle of the room...I think she only did about 8 last time but that was in a smaller pot...Trimming others now..I guess the Gorill Glue #4 will be the one to tell me...I have grown her plenty of times before..My highest yield with her was 14.5oz.HJ

Not going to go into real numbers....Lets just say that I harvested what someone would be happy with from a 5,000 watt HPS grow....HJ

Noid much?

 

[benbud89]

Haha. Love it. Could you share some pictures if you dialike sharing numbers?

 

[Gingerbee]

so how about a new product update any info yet

 

[Rahz]

I will spill the beans on the new T1 which is the only one that will be available very soon and doesn't share the same upgrade path as the others. I haven't named it yet because a series number doesn't make sense so I have to figure out a new part number that does and is informative. Maybe T1-V42 to denote the chip make and par wattage.

It came down to either increasing the efficiency or keeping the efficiency the same and increasing the output. I decided as far as the T1 is concerned a boost in output was a good idea. I will be using a Vero29 to achieve the same efficiency as the CXB3590 at 2100ma, but at 85 watts instead of 75, so 13% more light. It will initially be released in 3500K/80CRI but I may switch to another stock option at some point.

46 days...2700watts of cobs (35 cobs)...Kevin says that they replace over 5000 watts of single ended HPS...HJView attachment 3778486 View attachment 3778487 View attachment 3778488 View attachment 3778480 View attachment 3778485

Wow. Well done.

It seems i am on the right track replacing my 2000w of hps with 1350 of Tasty cobs. Hope i can achieve similar results...

is that 3000K or 3500k?

 

[Rahz]

The first couple Vero based T1s are in stock. I will be adding 6 more tomorrow. Price and efficiency remain the same with a bump up in output and wattage. Pics don't show it yet but all the Vero based lamps will be red. I liked the coat on the 1400 series lamps so much I decided to retire black. The new part number is T1-V196 to indicate the emitter brand and PPF of the lamp.

Total wattage: 95
Lumens: 13,560
PAR watts: 42
PPF: 196
Efficiency: 50%

After turning it on I noticed the light from the new Vero 3500K looks much more white than the CXB 3500K spectrum.

Is there any way for you to ship one of your fixtures to Switzerland?

 

[Rahz]

The only decent international rate I get is international ground to Canada so I'm sorry but I don't offer lamps in Europe at the moment.

Ok, that's too bad.. I would obviously pay for the shipping cost if that helps.

 

[Rahz]

I fed an address in Zurich into Fed-Ex. Cheapest rate for a T2 is $220 and Zurich is probably closest to the distribution hub.

Wow, that's ugly. There's no way that's all airfreight cost. Do they break out the charges to show customs duties or other fees?

 

[Rahz]

That does not include customs or duty fees. Being a business gives me a discount with Fed-Ex, otherwise it would be $270.

Another issue is warranty. Almost a year and nobody has needed it, but it's inclusive and if I had to honor a warranty with 2 way shipping to Europe I would be a little bummed about it.

That does make things tough.

There seems to be a worldwide shortage of reflector holders for the 3590. I've got a couple custom orders to fill and will be scavenging holders from the lamps listed in stock so I have taken those lamps off the website until I get holders. ETA 2nd week in November.

Good news is, the Vero 29Cs should be shipping tomorrow so I'll have the new revision lamps hitting the website in about 2 weeks (fingers crossed).

 

[Hydro Jack]

I'm thinking about buying for Vege now...Just need to light about 4 x 6......HJ

 

[Rahz]

A guy at AFN is using a T4 to flower a 4x4 and is very happy with the results.

The new T4 PPFD in a 4x6 will be about 320, so I think it will work fine at a height of 24-30 inches above canopy, but 2 T3s might be a better option.
