I left rusty a message and texted him about getting his seeds back up with no response.

CVS drop won’t be happening on GPS site as of now

Yes, LEDs get hot. Difference is the heat is above the light and not below, reason for a heatsink to pull the heat away from the diode. I run 5.88" aluminum (bar type) heatsinks from Heatsink USA. I run a passive heatsink, but I also run a fan and they stay pretty cool. Heat destroys LEDs.

No doubt about it. I wasn't expecting so much heat but when you turn that thing up it gets pretty damn warm. I couldnt imagine not running a fan on that light.

Another myth busted in this household lol. LEDs get hot! And on a hot day without the fan it makes the growroom cook not kidding.

We dont have AC in the room so you can really tell a difference. Funny to me how they try to sell these heat sink fanless leds as being so cool. Lmao! Uh huh yeah right.

I just got a nice little something something from growmie that hangs out over there..... Hell of a care package. Made with love and GPS gear.

There are definitely some very generous people among us.
I have some of the same, I'm eager to try the TPR/HH cross. I've amassed so many seeds I keep changing my mind on what to run next, arghhhh... I need another tent.

I haven't seen anywhere that advertised them as being no heat. Less sure. They are incredibly cooler than hps that cover the same area. I could never run 3 1k watt lights without ac cooled hoods hooked into an out in a single bedroom. I can definitely run 3 led's that cover the same 4'x12' area with no out and ac cooled hoods. On top of that higher par ratings and way more canopy penetration. A 4inch-6 inch out will be needed in hotter areas. The ac in the home has one vent in the room and is set to 73. The room is 84 degree max. I am doing that right now. I am also using half the power. Tell us again how they are not cooler and not twice as efficient. It is far from a myth that they are much cooler and couldn't be more obvious to anyone who has experience with both.

Nobody is saying that they're as hot as an hps. Im saying this one pulls over 600 watts from the wall and when turned up to 100% it gets hotter than many people would think.

Have a blurple led that doesn't get nearly as warm because it has 4 built in fans bought my first hps in 1999. Have used both.

I stand by the statement that when you're running 600 watts to 4 quantum boards with no fan they get hot enough to alter the temperature in a small room with no AC.

Nobody is saying they arent efficient. Why do you think I bought one? lol.

Im saying they get warmer than people would think. Thats 150 watts to each board and the thing heats up.

600W is 600W of heat regardless. LEDs are only cooler because they’re more efficient at generating light.

Your blurple is also probably a fraction of the wattage of your other lights. Blurples often run at a fraction of the power they’re advertised as.

I misread yourpost and thought you said no heat my bad.. I agree they do put off heat indeed for sure sorry about that.
