I ran the solar extreme and they are definitely comparable to a 400hps

Anyone else weirded out by all the threads recently on CLW? They've never Ever EVER been popular or even mentioned really here, until this like, last month or so.

If you want a budget light with great efficiency, pre built, buy the new Spider Farmers on Amazon. Or they have a sale on their website for a few days for Black Friday.

guilty, I got a black friday email about it and was curious. All the LED brands sound weird to me so I didn't know any different.

Most hydro shops push clw on noobs and tell them they are the best out there because they have lots of old stock to dump imo.

The 1100 which is an 800w blurple costs over 1500 with the required controller. Wow!

Not crap, overpriced yes but nowhere near crap.
If you think osram make crap diodes you have a lot of learning to do
Dumb ass

first off, its not blurple moron
and it's over 2.2 u/j efficiency.
it's expensive. that's about the only thing you got right.

check out the 550 model (not COB). see if you can be a tester for it. they'll give you a good price and option to return.

ive got a handful of the 160W solarstorm 220s that are pretty good. the later series with the osram diodes (you can tell them by the pattern, more diodes, spaced closer together, in 2 rows of 4. older 'solarflare' series used crappy diodes
they are pretty handy for easily lighting up a 3x3 veg tent and, 4 of them can do a 4x4 well (and spread out better than the 400 and 800 series which had too much light packed together and necessitated high hanging.) back when i was using them for primary lighting i got better results with the 4 spread out than one 880
theyre a basic light, not dimmable (but really not neessary in that size). decent efficiency similar to a DE HPS in the 1.6 umol/J system efficiency, with better spectrum and longer life. build quality is great they have a pretty sizeable heatsink and ive never seen a fan go
i can let a few go for $175 ea if anybody needs them. i still use them to this day here and there, but i had several tents worth, so i have a bunch laying around that all have less than a year's use on them. msg me or email.
