What is the dry weight per light? Just curious
Hello everyone. Quick update about the Geekbeast lights.
They are still performing well, no issues at all with led failures or any other problems which you would dread. I now try and keep the lights further from canopy than I did, at 12 to 15 inches (I am really limited in height, less than 40 inches between the floor and bottom of the lamps) and run the Geekbeast at no more than 70 percent, the monster board 320 at 50 percent as they are very powerful and bleaching occurs. I have very slight tip bleaching so I try to ride the limit. The yields are great, best plant was seven quality ounces, commonly pull 5 per plant now, quality of the flower is exceptional, my best ever. The Geekbeast has such good light spread I can't help but prefer it over the monster boards in my set up though higher hanging heights would allow the mb to be cranked up to full potential. Hope you are all well

I have a photontek 600 for veg. Same spectrum, style and wattage tho

2 per light on the first round. I’m expecting 3-4 on this one. The first round plants were much smaller with a lot of space in the canopy.What is the dry weight per light? Just curious
I own the PLUS VERSION :
they claim
630W of power and 1820 µmol/s (3.03 µmol/j)
it is of course impossible and could realistically be
630W power 2.88 µmol/j ( 1820 µmol/s) ---> LOWER µmol/j value
or
630W power 3.03 µmol/j (1909 µmol/s)----> BIGGER µmol/s value
or finally
601W power 3.03 µmol/j ( 1821 µmol/s) ---> LOWER POWER
What am I missing?
if they test the light at less than 630W to gain more efficiency it still should not be 3.03 µmol/j ..all LED gain more efficiency when run at lower current but it seems a lil unclear claim policy...
could you please clarify my mind?
hoping in a your answer

Closer to 2.27 µmol/j

The numbers that I gave you are for pro version not plus version

Considering the difference of adding 2 more bars to the plus I think they increased the efficiency of the light by not powering the leds as hard using the same driver
I'm sorry but I'm not a fake account not do I work with geeklight
i wasnt talking to you i was talking to all the spam accounts i keep banning in this thread that keep coming.

So nobody comment so fake claims? I am a owner of this light but I do not love to be kidding. As on alibaba where they claim 3.03 µmol/j

Honestly I'm a good light for the price if you want an honest review of the light look at migro review that is where I learned about the light initially. I like my light. I can't speak for others if not happy sell it ill buy it lol
Hi, i know very wel what shane share on that migro "ranking"
I mean the data claimed from geeklight about their new "plus" model.
how can a light with "claimed (probably not actual data like migro's owner measure show about the 6bar / pro version 2.78 declared VS 2.27 actually measured)
630W of power and 1820 µmol / s (3.03 µmol / j) ... 3.03 µmol / is a fake value. considering true the data shared 2.88µmol / j at 630W PAR should be 1814... probably realistically something close 2.35 / 2.4 µmol / j and a ppfd of 15212 ?!
Remains for sure an excellent value but how could you belive in a producer who is not even able to lie in a plausible way.
And please do not answer that it is a good light or sharing a screensot from migro
I tried to ask geeklight for clarification, on IG and via email but I did not get any response. is it serious?

THANK YOU FOR POSTING ALL OF THE GREAT LINKS & INFORMATION!
My Spanish is not nearly as good as your English! I did see the post & had to switch to a computer with a keyboard.
The DLC site is the absolute best reference for High Efficacy LED fixtures 2.6+ umols to LED Toplight specs.
https://www.designlights.org/horticultural-lighting/search/
A Color Spectrum CCT/Kelvin list is a great idea! You may have seen this video,
Dr. Bruce Bugbee summarizes the dual effects of photon quality on photosynthesis and plant shape. Spectral quality has an enormous effect on shape, but the effect varies among species. Conversely, the effect of spectral quality on photosynthesis is nearly constant among species, but our definition of photosynthetic photons may need revision to include both far-red photons and UV photons between 360 and 400 nm.
I cant remember what else you posted? I cheated & used translator.
RUI: I appreciate all of the security & spam measures!
FYI: This poster has done nothing but provide great info. Just use use google translate to see.
