    Cxm 22’s at 1400

    My canopy at 23Inches, as to how far they are right now, is 680ish par on the edges, and 840 center. at 12inch i get 1050 at center, this is using all 4 cobs at 1400ma, ##This is Lux conversion PAR numbers, dividing 65 from Lux. Working on getting a PAR meter, but not a big deal at this point...

    Man, I have 4 Luminus, 2x3500cri90 and 2x4000cri80,, 3500K full 1400ma, and 4000k at about 500ma, 250watts. At midday, i like to run them full bore for 4 hours, then turn 4000k back down. I also use the 730nm for emerson and night initiation, Ive learned alot about the emerson effect and...

    LED light intensity

    it all comes back to par. The strength of the wavelengths that hit the plant at that particularized distance.

    Photon Fantom PCBs

    good stuff Tej, Photon Fantom hooked me up, got the light, like it, but not using it. No use right now. Would be great for cutting and seedlings im sure. I used it for maybe 5 days, for my seedlings, then put them under my 200watt Cob rig i build, ( badass, love them ) so now, i have a...

    Yes, thats it, you get 20 dimmers, and 20 knobs, and they are smooth and flawless, at least the 2 i picked outta the bag, lol.. I did go with the Bourns, like suggested, and it didnt fluidly make the adjustment.

    LED light intensity

    But also keep in mind, Its not all about light. You can throw anything under a HPS or anylight, and if shit isnt dialed in, you wont get much anyways. I learned something from someone here, fhiggs i think, about the emerson effect, photosynthesis, and 400 Par being the sweet spot. probably top...

    LED light intensity

    This is why 1000HPS work, because they are freakin powerfull, THROWING the Photons at further distances. Does drop off fast past a point, but the more watts, the FURTHER THE PHOTONS are thrown, its simply that. Watts=intensity at further distances. You add optics, it throws it further, because...

    well, i can tell you this much, i used the Bourns 50K for 2 meanwells, it was horrible. Im using 4 cobs, 2 different Ks, and now use 100K from zon for each K, and they are awesome, URBEST 20pc for $10, 100K Linear

    Overwhelmed. Trying to find a balance between value/performance.

    yeah, i was being sarcastic in a way,lol. You really do have many options, thats for sure. I use 4 luminus cobs, in a 3x4ish area, and its rocking with only 250 watts of the 330 available... no apologies bro, ur in this to A-save money or B, make money. Hope it works out for ya man,

    LED light intensity

    maybe 10%, but the gain, id imagine would be phenomenal. and like I said, the panels distribute the light in a more scattered fashion, then direct, .. This is why i said Solexx, its supposed to be the best in the market. all i know is, BigGreenThumb killed it with side lighting using strips...

    LED light intensity

    best penetration is light from top and light at sides, like wietefras, says, its about the point of the angle. You throw cobs to angle focus, you get PURE penetration, from all angles possible. again, this is where the sun rise and sun set hits those hidden, or covered buds when the side angle...

    Which Cob is best for growing?

    as many Luminus cxm22 as you can fit, run as low as u can. if you have a 3x3, use 6, if 2x2, use 4, if 5x5 use 10, If you want even more, run the strips on the outter edge, a 3x3 area, with 6 Luminus 22's, and 4 strips, would be around 400watts nicely layed out blanket of light, ran pretty...

    320w QB vs 300w Vero COB, what do you choose?

    Common guys, if they did a real test, they wont be able to keep up with demand. Then slow shipping, bad customer service, fall off the forum, we seen it happen before. Hype up, prove worth, sells thru the roof, then no product, slow response time, no answers, living high life till failure...

    Photon Fantom PCBs

    From what Ive gathered, you can put these right almost on the plant. Of course, who would do that. so you should be fine at 6inches,
