@jrock2000 now you know what its like to take the extensive time and effort to document a full grow, post it and get met with a bunch of dick head comments. I think the plants and bud looks great and is on par with what I would expect from that type of light. Thanks for taking the time and...

have you guys seen the latest offerings from Area51 LED . net I know a lot of us have picked thru and scrutinized the pricing of the parts on all the kit suppliers. But im having trouble seeing the value on this $295 kit. (2) cxb3590 holder, reflector etc $110 (1) 180mm pin heatsinks...

@Stephenj37826 hey man, its cool to see some grow content from your lights. I know a lot of us have gone gray waiting for those HeavyT grow show guys to produce something... Are you happy with your TLC200 pro time lapse camera. Ive had one in my amazon cart for months now, but spotty reviews...

my hack video was sort of a solution to making the best of a bad situation with 1-2 year old mars panels with blown diodes. So #2 would not be the best solution since the heatsinks in the mars arent very robust and the drivers are likely mid to high 80% efficient. I would try to return them...

The metal was only 0.040" 6062 aluminum from a clearance sale at my local metal shop. But to be safe say $40 for the metal. The file took me about 1.5 hrs to design, but thats done and anyone who wants it has it. 16 mins on the water jet to cut the mounting and decorative cover panel. so...

I though this was pretty cool, Gavita illuminating some testing method flaws in Cree's horticultural reference design. And to be honest, I agree with Gavita on some of their points, namely the PAR map on the Gavita hanging that high on a 4x4 space. If Cree had reported PAR numbers out to 6ft x...

I can't believe RIU removed that thread. its unfortunate because RIU has some pretty good SEO. When I am searching google researching a cannabis specific topic, a RIU thread is often one of the first hits. It just makes me sad that someone new to LED with very little knowledge won't be able...

the design really only works with Angelina reflectors 90deg. with the bare COBs emission angle, i would lose a lot of light behind the decorative plates. now that its been 10days since adding the RZs, stretch is over and Im left with an incredibly even canopy. minus 3 or 4 shoots that are 4-6"...

Damn Will, the addiction has really set in with you. You wake up in the morning and think " what light should I build today" I love it man. I can see your skill level increasing with each project you do. Cheers to ya man. And keep that cot warm for me, cuz I'm crashing at your place when I get...

I'm running low on space and $ for testing LEDs. But I really want to put a Fluence VyprX vs PLC cxp250. There is a bit of a wattage & price difference, but I think it would be fun to do and see.

Nice collection of Acans. !

you have an interesting thread going here with some nice real world, real grow examples to back your theories. Ill look forward to following along. wattage is still so misleading when it comes to LEDs. I would say photons above all, since that's what our plants use. any heatsink is going to...

if anybody is looking for a panel that works with Northern Grow Lights 120mm pin heatsinks, I uploaded my "powered by NGL" panel up on grab cad. https://grabcad.com/library/11-x-120mm-pin-heatsink-panel-1

hey there. i am working on a 10 cobber for a 4x6 for a buddy of mine. this is what i came up with based on the aluminum sheet I had on hand. its a 24" x 52" panel designed to fit up to 11 x 120 mm pin heatsinks. the CAD file can be found here. it is in .dxf format if you would like to view...

@robincnn its Monday! so technically its "next week" got any update for us on stock of COBs on www.northerngrowlights.com ?

looks like a great price per watt & from the little I can see about the controller, it looks pretty simple an intuitive. I buy the spread of 3x4 from a 400w light as well. Good to see Cali lightworks stepping up their game and getting something to the market for under a grand for tent growers...

it has nothing to do with right or wrong. We are in agreement. Nextlight & their MEGA product is superior to the old BML horticulture 600,1000,1200. Comparing a 4 year old blurple light to a new white diode light is not really worth debating since the BML product line is not made or sold...

damn! now thats a reef tank. anyone who can grow SPS like that probably has no problems growing herb. cheers
