I wish it was as easy as linking them... too bad their website has like 100 products and I'm not going to hunt it down..
These are differant than the filament style that are made for like decorative lighting. These are differant.
I've been trying to tell you they changed the design fundamentally and they are TONS better than the Walmart brand ones.
On the bulb it says its 11 watts and putting out 1500 lumens, so it's a decent improvement. I thought it was only 110 lm/w but I guess they are 136 lm/w
If you were a little slower to talk shit this could be a way friendlier conversation but you only want to dismiss what I'm trying to show people.
Earlier you said if it was a 10% improvement over standard it would be huge and worth noting. Well there it is. 136 lm/w household off the shelf bulb.
These are working great for my veg area an I really think for the price and how easy they are to buy they are worth looking at.

if you werent too lazy to link and actually posted specs before making 2 dozen posts with no information it wouldnt be a 4 page thread... and here we are and we still dont have the info
I guarantee its quicker to find a link than post 20 times arguing with people who literally have no idea what you are talking about because of your lack of info

Add to that the fact that I can't recall ever seeing you "talk shit". @growingforfun CobKits has been perfectly civil throughout the whole conversation. Maybe chill out a bit.

thank you. I can always count on LED growers for a good laugh.I'm a T5 grower but I enjoy doing test grows with LEDs and in my last 2 test a 112 watt light using 4k 2ft bridgelux EB strips driven at 700ma with a homemade driver produced the same yield and quality as a 150 watt HPS on white widow. I know enough about electronics to design and build my own lights and drivers and am truly surprised that some of the LED growers here have not electrocuted themselves.you need to do your own research and read the datasheets to make an intelligent choice those diffusers reduce light output of bulbs that are already weak. removing them will give you more light and a tighter beam angle

get some HLG quantum boards or DIY strip lights. Much more efficient !

Mate for the size off my space there is no point bothering upgrading, 500mm deep, 700mm wide, 1.8m high. My lights pull 170w from the wall and I yield over 8oz dry per run.
