New led, looks good!

[hybridway2]

Yeah! That light looks really cool! The single modules reminds me somehow of darth vaders imperial tie bombers, LOL! Hopefully it will not shoot any disruptor photons...

But its "only" 160lm/w(2,2μMol/s PPF) and very pricey for non-comercials like the most of us. But a new generation is awakening and the force is with you which means you could make a light with 170lm/w efficiency by simply using 12 4ft. F-Series strips and drive them @1050mA with a HLG-600 or two HLG-320 for example. Thats ~580-600w, 170lm/w in 3000°k or 175lm/w with 4000°k.
And best of all, you can get it for under $US600 if you're willing to spend a few hours for building an alu-frame with 12 4ft. struts.

I've seen less Efficiency add up to a higher ppfd. In the same fixture. 1w diodes over 1/2 w diodes.

Off topic, but I just ordered a vortex 6 inch s-line with carbon filter for the tent! Kinda pricey but built in backdraft damper and seemed to be quiet in videos and got a speed controller as well. Will see in a week or 2.
Man I can't wait for July and it is legal for everyone here!

I have the 8 its not as quiet as i wanted so i put it in a box full of foam took it down a few decibels.

I have a titan fan controller and its "ok" but i wish it was better.
And i think a real variac controller would be better cause with the titan i get a low speed humm that sucks

The fan preforms ok im going for a 10 next time
Just so its more of a whoosh then a higher pitched sucking sound lol

Nonsense, mate! It does not matter which diode is used to produce the light, it depends on total amount of light reaching the canopy and how efficient it is produced. Whether you use 0,5w, 1w or 3w diodes really doesn't matter.

Actually saw the results on data sheets. And you're right, what matters is the total light reaching the canopy.

 

[berulakide]

Yes that is true but if it is shining angled through the canopy the lower branches will fill in better instead of all tops would it not? The light footprint just looks more even with less hot spots on the light I showed thano most.

Something else I am wondering if the s-line fan is a really good one but can't find a lot on here for it?

 

[Fubard]

Hey guys, I hope I am not breaking a rule here. I found a new light that looks awesome. I actually talked about someone should build a light that you could angle all the cobs and point them in through everything angled from the side so you could adjust and point them where you need it.
That was a year or so ago, and I ran across this and thought someone listened or had the exact same idea as I had only I was gonna use clu cobs. So here is a link...

What do you think?

How fecking much?

I could build one a hell of a lot cheaper, any cob kit that has the likes of an M6/8/10 ferrule on the back of the heatsink or driver and I'll rig it up with a "hinge" joint on some screwed rod.

Or just bend the screwed rod as I need it.

 

[berulakide]

I know it is expensive. I just thought it was cool someone built something like I was thinking about. Also at least it ain't junk.

 

[Fubard]

Yeah, but looking pretty doesn't necessarily justify the cost, if you know what I mean, especially as most ain't gonna have their light on display in their living room.

A 2.2 umol/j quality cob light w/ even coverage & all the work they put into they're site, testing & answers for data just to start deffinetily justifies a worth of $2 a watt.
What's this site coming too?
Just less then a yr ago everyone here was stoked to just pay 2-2.50 a watt just to buy lousy DIY components, unesembled.
Now any growlight over $1 a watt is crazy talk. And they still don't exist.
Ridiculous.

One of the reasons I chose LED strips over COBs is safety.
Although they don't run very hot, (our heatsinks clock in at about 45C on the COBs) the business end is a fire hazard if it were to ever fall.
You can literally light a cigarette under ours just using the light. (3 cobs to a 240W driver).

Wowzers seriously?

Yep. 100% legit, go try it.
