What an eloquently worded dodge.... honestly you should be a politician. Your debate skills are almost as refined as Donald trump.

Wow those are reasonably priced. The whole fixture bulbs and all is less than the hortilux ballast. Any other contenders?

So @Sativied or anyone else who cares to answer. I'm in the market for a pair of double end 1kw light fixtures. I'd like to give it a shot, what do you recommend?

Interesting, but does it do anything that the Single end version doesn't?

I do believe it was just an el cheapo like this one. I don't have my notes on it anymore I'm afraid. https://www.fasttech.com/products/1612/10008079/1714801-6-10-1w-85-277v-high-power-constant-current-led No it was warm to the touch, well over ambient. It was adequate for the task at hand...

nope, do it and report your results.

Jeese, imagine when you've got both sets up and running. Million ways to skin a cat.... No one claimed that mono's didn't work. Just expensive and cumbersome to work with. The price tag of the helio spectra lights reflects that. Compared the price tag of a similarly powered cob panel from any...

I think it was bridgelux that put out an image showing that graphite pads don't fill the voids quite as effectively as thermal paste. I can't seem to find it anymore though. I may have to pick some up to test out. I wonder if there is an appreciable difference in temps.

Is that a lid from a tote for your reflector? Or did you salvage it from something else?

Well I've got it saved now as a reminder of when engineering goes awry :P Put it in a glass box and sell it on ebay :P or keep it as a display piece.

But does it spin? And just where are all the cords going?

dunno about a bread box, but the UPM-570 provides 160kwh or enough to run 29 of your LED panels :P

How much power would a 2'x3' panel be able to produce during peak hours and a clear sky? What is 2592SI?

Doesn't even come close to that level of engineering..... Man that's a new level to aspire too.

How much space are you trying to cover?

Works great if you have a pipe line and infrastructure in place for it. Not so nice if you have your gas supply in a tank. I know im one of the rare few in my area with a natural gas line and it costs mega bucks to have one put in. It's all situation dependant.

Sir all I did was ask you for a link to a source that you referenced. I posted no dogma, or anything other than 'interesting' implying that I would like to read the paper and understand your argument properly before replying. So stop putting words into my mouth and please provide either a title...

Free energy? Not so much, solar still has a price tag associated with it per kwh. There's a ton of factors to consider outside of the purchase of the panels themselves. Check out the solar panel forums out there, it's a bit enlightening. Not trying to be a negative Nancy, just realistic.

I'd like to see the research from S. Chandra you're referencing specifically. Your first source isn't doing you any favors so I'd like to see what conclusions you're drawing from the other paper. Sounds interesting. I have more thoughts, but you'll just disregard them so I won't post them.
