    HLG 600 R Spec & Mars Hydro FC4800 questions

    Exactly. That plus we use the higher volumes to leverage better pricing for components which goes directly to the end user. HLG has no investors outside the 2 founders. That being said we have a great following and feel our fans have invested thier trust in us which we value more than money. If...

    HLG 600 R Spec & Mars Hydro FC4800 questions

    Our products absolutely don't get cheaper. As a matter of fact our products have continued to give more for less money since we started. Yeah we build our stuff here in the US and pay a living wage. No we can not complete with the Chinese Communist Parties 20% subsidized products price wise but...

    New light has arrived. BudgetLED Series 3+ 500watt full soec

    The new led is a flip chip design but different package size and a spectrum specific for "building" the highest possible efficacy specific to plants. Remember we are currently using human centric LEDs to build our plant specific spectrums. Time to think outside the box.......

    New light has arrived. BudgetLED Series 3+ 500watt full soec

    There are patents on all our designs..... Think how Apple let Samsung hang themselves..... Also we aren't just throwing random leds together. I have an exclusive led from Samsung in the works now. Spectrum snob board is going in a whole different direction than anyone else. Can you say have your...

    HLG Scorpion

    Exactly.... One tested with a hand held spectrum meter the other in a sphere. Seeing as light lab doesn't offer a color representation we try our best to be transparent.

    HLG Scorpion

    2 factors in that cluster of a test. A he used a 1" thick sheet acrylic only over the QB288 fixture and not the puck fixtures which both where running the leds at similar drive currents. This acrylic degrades and losses transmission over time. B trapping the heat under 1" of acrylic surely...

    HLG Scorpion

    You are missing reflector loss on that hps figure. In a sphere (true measure of total photon output from a luminare) you will see 1300s-1400s from a single ended hps using a hortilux super hps.

    Great deal. Economy version. Opinions?

    Samsung does make boards for us but I can assure you the other suppliers are not getting them made by Samsung..... Our boards are not made in China.

    Great deal. Economy version. Opinions?

    We still make a lot in house but Samsung also produces them for us in S. Korea.

    DIY with Quantum Boards

    In series yes you can run all qb 288s together but not in parallel.

    Leaves are not a static plane.... They can and do move on an hourly basis.....

    The new QB 648 Diablo from Horticulture Lighting Group

    This is true at the top of the canopy but in a deeper canopy the lower growth will not see as much light as a more concentrated light source. Let us also not forget the plant can and will redistribute energy. Follow Loki on Instagram he can fill you in. He was also 100% sold on even light...

    Do look into angle of incidence and your favorite par meter sensor...... 40% loss from a directional light source is honestly laughable.......

    The new QB 648 Diablo from Horticulture Lighting Group

    We added a very minimal amount of blue to the blue red ratio....This was wholly for the purpose of stomata simulation. A quick look at the intensities of the 650R warrant such action. Yeah that's the extent of my research.... You are welcome to create your own lighting company and show us...

    The new QB 648 Diablo from Horticulture Lighting Group

    With a 40% loss it's a wonder they grow at all ..... Real world results speak louder than theory. These bar lights should be shattering yield records if our lights have so much loss but it just isn't the case. Traditional DE hps fixtures with those small reflectors and high hanging heights...

    The new QB 648 Diablo from Horticulture Lighting Group

    The colored graph is from a handheld meter.... The other is from Light Lab in a properly calibrated sphere. I would use the uncolored for a real representation of the SPD and the colored as marketing at best......

    The new QB 648 Diablo from Horticulture Lighting Group

    Nope.... Proven science that blue light changes stomata action..... We do our research and testing. I could easily have made it 3500k and the efficacy difference was minimal. We have several 300+ light growers and we have side by sides done on a regular basis. Having our own SMT is nice as we...
