What is your capacity as a consultant? I would have thought some of the information given would be helpful, sorry you took it as criticism. And I'm still waiting to hear where the compression part comes in to play. That's the reason you stated as to how this increases the btu output and I would like to learn how. Actually you have failed to answer anything with any relevance other than "it works", I'm sure a client would love to see some actual numbers. Got any pics of your pull through air handlers.

I notice when I run my shop vac my garage gets warmer. Not saying this is how I suggest you heat your garage but it is a nice side effect when I have to do some cleaning. I prefer to evaluate things for myself and can respect that tt does too.

"It works"- well enough make a big
That's my equation lol

So do I. And the reason for that is the motor I would think, may want to check the filter lol.
Edit: and yes maybe compression ....puts hand to forehead lol.

Hey bro, how many cob lights would you recommend if I did 3 walls of a 4x4 tent. Would I need to hang 2 -3 pointing at each wall, or would I need more. Just trying to work out how many I'll need to cover the side and back walls and I'll leave the front open for access

I'd bet 12 Quantum boards run at 75 watts each would be about perfect. Thats 300 watts per wall plus tons of reflected light, you'll need a welding mask to see in there!

Total square footage times target watts per square foot. That watts per square foot number can be slightly lower if you're driving more chips at lower watts because they'll be more efficient.

Would it not be better to use ppfd to figure out the needed light? Everything I read, of which confuses the hell out of me I might add, says ppfd when calculating needed light using LED. I'm about to embark on the LED adventure as well but again I'm very confused lol.

Par watts are an easier metric to work with. But yes, ppfd is what you are aiming for.

I'm sure it is far easier but everything I read (well almost lol) says that basing needed light coverage using watts for LED is not really helpful in maximizing their use. Again I know shit about it and I'll be another of the follow the herd types lol.

Just because you set your ppfd at an arbitrary number does not mean you are "maximizing" your light. There's no way to actually maximize your light other than to experiment and see what the plant can handle. And being that there are multiple ways to adjust ppfd, there are tons of different ways that maximum can be achieved. As a footnote though, it should be noted that an even light spread is important when trying to get the maximum out of your light. So on that note, the new quantum boards look very promising.

Oh good more confusion, ok I'll get to reading again lol.

Thanks and now it's actually somewhat starting to make some sense, I hope lol. PPFD is the actual the PAR at a given location under light? Anyways I'll keep reading but tty if your getting rid of the old lights there might be a guy interested in Canada ;).

What, my HID lighting and magnetic ballasts?
