    I have the hook on HLG240's.

    How much of a discount are they offering you? How much of a discount is available to the rest of us?

    Mars II LED now with Veg/Bloom switches

    They don't really put out uv unless you are talking about the reptile bulbs. I add a couple in for extra heat during the winter

    weedbulbs

    Got any numbers to back up that claim? I would love to see a 50% efficient cfl bulb but I dont believe they exist

    CXA vs CXB, 3070 vs 3590, CXB vs Vero

    All good choices! The veros shine as high current high power. The cxb-3590 shine as lower current efficiency queens. The cxb-3070 are good too. The cxa is the older series and not as good as the new cxb but if they are cheap go for it.

    I got it in an email. Maybe its for repeat customers, I just wanted to hook you guys up. Edit: it's for Newark not Jameco, sorry

    Will LED lights ever....

    It was a breakdown of his experiment. He yeilded 9 ounces with 640w of solar storm 440 and 13 ounces with 1200w of hps. He concluded that hps wins. I disagree

    Will LED lights ever....

    The solar storm was outdated technology when it came out. Its like comparing two apples to one old shriveled apple when running it up against a 600. You need some oranges

    Will LED lights ever....

    If you want to yeild the most than figure out what is holding you back. Is it heat, space or money? If it is heat than good leds will help. If it is space, good leds will help. If its money, stick to the 600s

    640w of led will not produce more than 1200w of hps

    Will LED lights ever....

    Just looked up the solar storm 440. 320w of actual draw for the leds. I can see why a 600w would out yeild it. Watt for watt, your experiment shows led produce more.

    Will LED lights ever....

    My leds seem to get amber trichomes earlier than my hps and cmh setups I used to run. When using 730nm triggers you can cut that time down even further. In all fairness, what was the efficiency of your led setup? Until recently leds have not actually exceeded hps in efficiency which would...

    That accounts for time

    Will LED lights ever....

    Notice how a 20% efficiency difference equates to 50% more light and 50% less heat in the example I gave above. This is how people are pulling numbers over 1gpw with leds where others struggle to get .9gpw with hid. In micro cabinets like mine it is the difference between being able to supply...

    Will LED lights ever....

    The only thing that good quality leds cant compete with hps on right now is barrier of entry. The cost of a quality led rig compared to hps is quite a bit higher especially when running higher wattages. Over time the led will become the better option when factoring in saved electricity and bulb...

    CXB3590 1500W

    Others have said that if you don't use the maximum voltage than the driver can provide more amperage than rated. Volts times amps gives wattage, so a 36v cob on a 1 amp driver will run at 36w. The 240 series driver you mentioned would work great for 5 3590's and will also give at least 50w of...

    LEDs and potency

    I would like to see some 365nm-400nm leds used in a side by side up against the same setup without. Blacklight bulbs look to filter out much of the light with the coating. Reptile bulbs look like they have a better filter that allows more light through. Not a very scientific review just a...

    LEDs and potency

    I'm leaning towards something like the arcadia t5 controller with sealed sockets on wires. I just dont know if it will work stateside or if there is an equivalent system in the US.
