After running flux and spectral analysis of the different Vero 29 I was particularly intrigued by the possibility of using the 5000k with supplemental red. You get the good efficiency and the nice deep blue of the high kelvin Vero's and you only have to add in the extra element of the red LEDs...

Not at all, I am pointing out that your overly simplistic narrative lacks understanding of social historical context. Anyone going around saying God is all bad is completely ignoring the fact that organized religion was the prototype for our current pluralistic democratic systems. I am also...

The definition of a Cult is sort of meaningless. The only reason Christians, Muslims, whatever, are not cults is because their "leaders" are dead and they have more then the 1 Million +++++ people required to not be considered a "Cult", so... Ok? Religion should not simply be vilified and...

New growers are going to get better results with LEDs because they are easier to manage then HPS. The biggest issue with indoor growing is temperature control. Also easier to diagnose pest and nutrient issues due to better light quality. These qualities make the white LEDs much easier to deal...

Wow, I thought this would be a good thread to read, because everyone I talk to that is a legit large scale grower is using the 1000W DE. Can we get back on topic here? It is a pretty simple equation of spectrum and cost. I do think buying most any off the shelf LED is going to be to expensive...

Based on the grows I have been running for the last year or so, the Vero 29s work great. The Vero 29 3500-4000k 80 CRI seem to be the best overall choice for growing. They have a better relative PAR functions, they have enough blue that they can be used for both veg and flowering. The extra...

Not set on anything, just doing some research and getting opinions. You can not simple make an apple to apples comparison in regards to efficiency, you would have to consider the relative PAR function of each light source. This is not to say you are wrong, just to say you can not make such...

Heat, spectrum, light distribution, supplemental lighting. I have a friend, who has a room with a low ceiling, that already has HPS lights in it and he wants to supplement them with LEDs. My company already designed and built a 330 watt, 3 Vero 29, in a 2" wide, 16" Long, 8" tall housing, which...

I was at Costco the other day and they have outdoor light strings that take A19(I think) comes with standard 11 watt bulbs, and has 25 spots for bulbs, cost $50. With the standard bulbs the stringer would suck for growing. But what about replacing them with 8.5 watt 60 watt equivalent 800lm...

You guys need to have reusable heat sinks for your grow light market, or similar light sizes so as you improve the technology you allow for the reuse of heat sinks. This way people can simply replace the lights just like traditional lights, makes the products more competitive, and will increase...

This is why I went with the Vero's, and mounted them without screws. I plan to just reuse my heat sinks for better lights as they come on the market at reasonable prices. Figure Vero improves 10-15% year over year, and as efficiency increases there is a corresponding decrease in heat output, in...

I am in Oregon, USA, its legal here to grow cannabis, I grow medical cannabis, and am working with some business partners to build LED grow lights for the medical and recreational cannabis business. Did you say your website would be the best way to inquire for more information?

I agree JohnnyCannaSeed1, I have been running Vero 29, 3500k and 4000k for my grow at about 100 watts each with RSP-320-36 drivers, not super efficient but a lot of bang for the buck; my power costs are low $0.057-0.061 cents kWh, so I invested less up front in higher efficiency drivers and...

I saw the press release about the Acer Aspire Park in Taiwan a few days before this post went live on the board here, talking about Flip Chip Opto, and your patented process which removes a layer of substrate and creates a far better thermal transfer? I would agree with Johnnycannaseed1, ideal...

Looks male, but in my experience there is no reason not to wait until they show a little more, they are going to make clusters of balls and such before they actually start pollinating everything. Its a MYTH that you must kill them at the first sign of male.

You could DIY your self LED lights for $1 a watt; measured by how much they are pulling from the wall, at between 40-50% efficiency.

I saw those lights at a store today Hyroot, they would work really well with shelving to maximize clones/early veg per sq ft production.

You must shop at Costco also Hyroot :) Saw those at Costco today, one could use those with a shelving and really get great production per sq ft for cloning/early veg.

Given that light only has 4 COBs... that would mean each one is runnin at 200 watts each... I am out of the loop on the newest technology right now, but I find it hard to believe that 4 cobs are putting out 800 watts for that price. That unit would completely Crush anything else on the market...

Most of the driver spec sheets will provide a graph showing how efficient they are at different outputs, most of the dimming ones are crushed from an efficiency perspective when they are not being run at full power. Without running the numbers, it seemed that dimming did not make sense from an...
