I was told Amare Cree Cob LED's are the absolute best out-of-the-box full spectrum lights!
Lol. You were told wrong. All white cobs are full spectrum. Amare just likes to make shit up to sound cool.I was told Amare Cree Cob LED's are the absolute best out-of-the-box full spectrum lights!
Amare uses 3500K cobs with 5000K Cree XP-G3 leds and a little extra blue and red.I was told Amare Cree Cob LED's are the absolute best out-of-the-box full spectrum lights!
Nice. I have cobs and CLW ss550s. I got my diy kits from timber grow lights. Simply because his diy kits are already done it's just hang, plug and play. But you can check out northern grow lights, cobkits.com, artificial sun specialty for parts as well as kingbrite. Shipping from china or Australia sucks up any discount you'd get from ordering over the ocean in my experience.I'm about switch a 5x5 from hps to cob. I have all tools to build, and an electrician. I'm not sure about sourcing everything. I keep hearing kingbright, but I like costumer service, actually talking to someone who speaks english.so far timber seams most reasonable, I priced metal, for 30 to 50 more they build frame for you, I can't build it for that. I'm stuck not sure vero or cree. I have 10ft ceilings, Dan from timber told me to check out the vero29, he said they are slightly more efficient than the cree, with better spread if you have the height. I've been searching on here, but keep finding people arguing over different lights. I know for a fact mars are junk, I have 2 pro series, mars1200, but they are great heaters, 10 to 15 degrees hotter than hps. I have 2 clw ss550's, I pull around lb a light. They work good. I'm interested in the cob's. Anyone with serious info would be appreciated
Blackdog isn't good anyway, they're just really expensive.Good morning, I am in doubt which of the two investing, I'm the short money, so I can not invest in a really good panel as a blackdog.
Frica, what type of LED bulbs are these?Blackdog isn't good anyway, they're just really expensive.
You can also go an other cheap route by using LED bulbs. (Pictures aren't mine, but you get the idea)
Most people who use LED bulbs don't use that many on such a small area, this one is just a bit more extreme.
Generic 100w (or 60) equivalent led bulbs with the diffuser removed.Frica, what type of LED bulbs are these?
Vero29 are the flagship cobs from Bridgelux and very efficient.I just checked out cutter, timber is around same price with 3 yr warranty. I can't find out much on vero29. I'm thinking for 25sq ft I'm going to need around 1000w for good coverage. I have already learned there is no upside from hps to cheap panels, hps alot more efficient and cooler
Generic 100w (or 60) equivalent led bulbs with the diffuser removed.
Philips tends to have the most efficient ones.
If you live in the EU you can also easily get the 20w Osram Parathoms that put out 2452 lumen (122lm/w)
