not true by a farshot,cause a lec gives a much higher heat on the plants as hotspots because of high intesity..
eventually its the same watts gives same watts of heat after its sucked out of the tent for ex but inside the tent the hotspots of the lightbeams of lec gives the plants more heat stress
I was looking at using the lec on movers I thought maybe that would take care of those hot spots somewhat, I have also though about trying the mover with led and seeing if I can drop them down to get more penetration without bleaching.

and 250 w of 3000-6500k softdriven cobs from cree cxb series atleast the topbins,beats the shit out of 315 w lecs in par pr watt that is the most imporant,plus check price and Lifetime on lec,lol its a foul to go for if you are enviromentally awake too and will probably last 10 years or more driven at 25-33% efficiency

What about vero 29 newest gen ?

The newer gen Vero 29s are slightly more efficient than the 3590.
And cheaper.
What do you think about 6x vero 29 gen 7 3500k Ds @1400 vs. 8x citizen 1212 3500k @1050?

This will be for a 20"x46" space with sunfilm (~90% reflective)

I was planning on 2 evenly spaced rows of 3 or 4 COBs. On the short side they will be 6-8 inches apart and on the long side 10-14" depending if I go with 6 or 8 total and how long I make the fixture.

Thank you!!

Looks awesome! What's the arduino type board for?
This is a prototype lamp with an esp8266 WiFi module and dimmer (2n3904 transistor) built in. The programming/dimming/datalogging happens in a yet to build controller. Now i use my laptop as controller.

No serial/i2c/spi cables needed. Only power plugs. the yet to build controller can control as many lamps or sensors as you want. Totally modular.

Next question is if the plants like the extra elektromagnetic spectrum from the WiFi.

I pictured doing something like this down the road! Keep me posted. Controlling environment through an app coming soon!

hey guys i just got on my hands a vero 29 (4) DIY kit from Timber Growlights excelent service, time and @RainDan is allays there for answer every question you have now im going to make a square what you think guys about the separation of cobs i just make a 2ft x2ft anodized aluminium and i think im going to put 1 on each corner and 1 driver in each side look

What area are you covering? I can't think of a better setup as long as your footprint is square as well. I'm going with Vero 29s as well, but my stuff won't be here until next week. Let us know how it comes together!

i have no a specific area i just want to get the best from them i need a few things more like extractor but im going to start with what i got(cobs,dark devil seeds,biobizz and a lot of space)
when is finished i send pics :B
thx bros

so the how wall plug efficient is New ver0 29 vers5 compared to cree cxc 200w New top bin or top bin 3590 at low drivecurrent
i will always trust the cree8tors moree than the brigeburners /brigelux

that is just not true.vero gen 7 are about 28.00 now and cree 3590 are about 32.00 so we are talkin 4 bucks a chip.but the new vero @ 70v is suposedly better efficiency than the cxb3590.but im not sure you can get a 70v vero gen 7 for under 30.00
I didn't realize 3590s were so cheap. I have seen them listed in the $40-$44 range
