I'm liking the light,the only issue I have with it are the lenses,they focus the light really intense.
I have the light about 30'' above the canopy and I'm getting some bleached tips,I'm wondering if chilLED is going to come out with new lenses

Just pull them off and run those PCBs bare at like 10".

Anyone who thinks mono LEDs are better or as good as white may want to view this video. Granted the lamp used had only red and blue, while most now also include some white, but if it was ALL white it would probably be even better. This video shows soil plants but another video, I think part 3, shows hydro plants, same results.

Of course from the way you describe yours, I probably can't do as much with mine as you can yours it's just turn it on or turn it off

The first part had soil plants, similar result.

I'm new at this, but I bought a 1200w full spectrum led for $200. I don't know if it even compared to yours on the spectrums

99.9% chance it's about 200w from the wall and you get what you pay for. The .1% is if you got it from a best friend that paid $2k for it or the owner of a chilled sold you a light for 200$.

I second airwalkers suggestion on removing lenses.

My CLW SS550 got around a pound with 400w each. First grow temps 65-75ish 4 plants in 5gallon containers. It's white red and blue. It works

I think the biggest problem is most of the R/W led diodes are ran too soft or too low efficiency to have a docent output for the past how many years so it's gotten a very bad rep fucking over growers that expect a mars 1200 or king 1200 to produce what the sellers say it will.

240w from wall.

ChilLED is a legit grow light similar efficiency as the California light works SS550. Similar colors and spectrum control.
