That's what this light is rated for.. 5000 k and passively cooled... Just not sure about coverage... I do not know how to post links but if you Google.. Big Ass Fan Led Lite

A friend of mine has a Big Ass Fan in his shop to cool ..itscan amazing fan with fan blades that are 12' long maybe longer..its a really well constructed fan with quality parts... Now it looks like their led light is built the same way..350$ .. 150 watts But the housing is impressive... Ran over by a ford f250 and didn't even leave a smudge.

It also seems to be made to easily access the guts and a lumen tray to collect dirt and debris for easy cleaning. The lumen tray also allows to redirect light at different angles to suit your purpose.. I really want to buy this light..they sell em at home depot now ...is this a wise buy?

There is no fan... The name of the company is " Big Ass Fans"

They make industrial Ceiling fans ..


Google- Big Ass Fans Led Light



Its 5000k ... I thought 5000 k was proven to work great for veg and flower?

My gut feeling tells me 5000K will be happier in veg than bloom. I don't see much wrong with the light except maybe the light cover. If it could be removed it would help efficiency. They do say they're driving the chips softly so it should last...

I see nothing that screams 'don't do it!' to me, why not get one and give it a shot?

Worst that could happen is that it ends up in the garage as one sexy ass shoplight, right?

Looks good to me, at least for veg @ 110 lumens/watt. I'd say go with the 4000k version especially if you want to try it out for flowering. You can spend $350 on much worse LEDs I'm sure.

Maybe quality, but large footprint for the output. Not great for flowering. Would make a good veg light, but it's a lot of money for the output and no indication of efficiency AFAICT. I'm getting close to offering a lamp with almost twice the output made for a 2x2 space, for under $500... and my lamp will have a higher price per watt than other LED offerings.

It weighs 16 lbs ... 20 k lumens and 26 k lumens available ... Any good?

Read the fine print. If there are two different color temperatures available, I'll bet that's how the lumen calculations come out differently.

EDIT: NOPE, they're actually specific in the 'low bay' product description that both color temps come in both outputs.

You're too kind!

I looked a little closer and the stats are listed, 113 LPW for the 13,000 lumen 5000K model. Not great... better than cheap Chinese lights though.

What is considered acceptable as far lumens per watt?


I like the heavy duty heat sink- housing and easy access.

Okay, here's what we're telling you; this will work but it will cost you substantially more to light a given area to a good standard for growing than to use @Rahz lighting, which he is being up front about being more expensive than DIY.

So the question for you to answer for yourself is whether you want to;
A. build your own
B. buy rahz's units
C. get these right now

The above are in order of increasing price per watt and per lumen- and in decreasing order of potential effectiveness for your specific needs. The fun tickets are yours, so it's your call. Whatever you choose, I'm sure I speak for plenty when I say we'd love to see your thread on it!
