The cobs are 100w. That's all they care about anyways. The diodes average 50% their capacity. Said 100X over.
I guess what I don't understand is, if the photon density is the same, and the light frequency is the same, then why would LEDs be less intense? If you have the same frequency, and the same number of photons, then if you apply all that in Planck's equation, do you not come out with the exact same amount of energy? The same frequency light at the same photon density should have the exact same energy fall off, regardless of the emitter chosen.
It's like talking to a brick wall when someone things the inverse square somehow magically makes photons disappear.
I've just done a ton of research in my addled state to back up what I thought I already knew. I'm 99.9% certain this guy may actually be a brick wall.
Problem is, people think the concept of the first of the 3 Laws is broken by those with the LED assertion. They don't realize the difference between incandescence (which HID uses) and electroluminescence.
Fuck you, New Jack. I will embarrass you, as well.
New Jack, huh, that's a fresh one. I wasn't talking to you bud, I'm pretty sure you and I are on the same page. I was talking to yoda.
I apologize, then. I have Yoda on block and can't see his bullshit. Hope you'll accept my apology.
Thanks for letting me know I can block him! And of course, apology accepted.
You'll be pretty embarrassed if you don't yield a 1/2 plate.
Jesus, shut the fuck up. You are calling me out for the same shit you are doing, except all your shit is proprietary.

or like talking to a troll
He lashes out quickly , don't be embarassed he also doesn't understand logic.
No you don't understand the fact they are less dense the further from the light source they are.....read up for fuck sakes stop your arguing and read . You don't understand when you place both lights in a sphere you capture everything possible, not intensity(thats why blurple lights kill in sphere readings). Intensity is based on the initial point source value and the distance from that source. The more blue in the light (blurple has a ton) the more higher the sphere values are, has NOTHING to do with the lights intensity at all or how high that light can be hung. It's just a reading of what that light outputs total photon wise. A LED with all quality 1w blue diodes will have the HIGHEST ratings of any light, that doesnt mean it's good to grow with. 1w diodes are the most efficient is why and blue light has the highest par. Efficiency isn't always the end all of growing lights, sometimes you must sacrfice a little for more power, that'swhy cobs are enticing, they use a more powerful single point that is less efficient.
That wasn't very nice! Geesze! I wasn't calling you out on anything Olive. Just reiterating how this nastiness even got started. It wasn't me. I just posted facts to share w/ the community.
And I'm telling you your facts are missing factors. Look 'em up.
thats nonsense. with similar optics the cob would likely put out more PAR (less IR tho). assuming youre trying to do it with 1 or 2 chips youd be running them pretty hard and efficiency would dip
