I've been confusing highbay lighting and with stadium lighting. Stadium lighting is what this 500w unit is. I will check if the XB-D's are available. I am also looking to have a wider square hood/reflector made with removable glass. Would also like to have it dimmable. I may have found someone that is willing to buy and test this light.

Have you looked at any 'street lighting'?

Would you buy a street light from a Hydrostore? You're still talking 300 watts range. I need a single unit that can replace a 1000w over a 4'x4' tray. I'm looking at the 200w unit I have now for the personal grower that might add more later. The stadium lights I think could be a direct replacement for the 1000w users with 10 light rooms. I just need to have the cone/reflector redesigned. Any other input on design is appriciated. What ratios of the 3 color temps would you prefer?

If the light proves itself, it will be sold through a couple stores in the SF bay area. I am putting 10 sour D's under the lights right now to start flowering.

I ended up getting 10 of his smallest plants (sourD). I'm not to sure how high to set the lights, but for now they are angle inward and 12" to 16" off the canopy.

Only one 200w light is on in this picture.

Can't do the XB-D's, still not sure on the 3020's. I will be able to make it dimmable for only $15 more. Still working on what to do about that useless reflector. It can be remove, so looking at the reflector from there square single COB flood lights.

Day 2- Flushed the cubes with some fresh water and then ran some food thru them. All the newer growth is praying to the light, but some of the old/bigger leaves have a wilted look.

Cronikool- just for you I am having one test light made with the XBD's, it will have a blended spectrum, 90* reflector, and will be dimmable.

The glass and reflector can be removed, but the metal cone can't.

Ok, now they are telling me they don't have a 90* reflector for a test. Everything else is looking good. Yesterday I had to change the res. Didn't get pictures, so tonight I will. Also got my veg closet done. I have 2 fire OG, 1 agent orange, and 1 chynobil.

Looking good man, subbed. I have no idea what all the lighting lingo means, are they led bulbs? I'm intrigued

They are COB's leds. 2 200w lights over each tray. The COB's are the larger high power leds everyone is using for their DIY home grows. My lights are meant to be outdoor floodlights, but so far are looking great.

Day 13- The stretch is almost done. They are now between 30" to 40". I got the nets up a day ago. Using the blackhole top feed sprayers. The go on for 1 minute every 4 hours. Haven't been out to see the same plants that are under 1000watters yet.

I'm still planning on taking this light to Bridgelux to get their opinion on the light. I would like to have a list of questions to ask their techs. Please throw out any questions you would like answered. This if for the 200w light.

Just made a call to Bridgelux and we should be setting up a meeting to look over the light. I should be able to answer any questions you have.
Stardust- The drivers will not allow the surge to one COB if the other goes out. Matthew @ Bridgelux confirmed that the meanwell driver will prevent that.

NOW IS THE TIME TO ASK QUESTIONS!

Thursday I am going over to Bridgelux to have the light checked out by their techs. Everyone that was questioning China's build quality or build design, now's your chance to get accurate answers.

I'm talking to:
