Club 315w lec

If I put a 600w in that tent bare bulb my temps would be around 85-90. The 315 kept it around 78 the whole run.

Observation> your bullshit
315 watts is less than 600 watts? did you not read what i just said? no need to lash out because you don't understand...

And my yields were still on par with a 600. Efficiency is what you're not factoring in here.
Ok w/e you say boss not tryin to argue with you, trying to help guess you don't need it good luck. Just letting you know all watts are created equal , 600w of led = 600w of hps = 600w of a space heater. and i been using LEDs for years as well i use CXA2590's and mono cree XTE white + XTE red. my profile picture is some super silver haze grown under white/red LEDs.

Then tell me why my 600w cob keeps my room about 12-14 degrees cooler than a 600w hps..

And I'm not trying to lash out, or argue. I just get tired of seeing your posts hating on anything that isn't hps. If hps works for you, great. Stick with it and I'll keep experimenting with new tech.

Either way, they're an amazing veg light and nobody can doubt that.

It's the same amount of heat just dispersed differently(leds use heat sinks , hps emits heat from bulb) , HPS have a high bump of IR light which makes surface temps higher , if your thermometer is directly in the light the readings will be off unless you got an IR/UV protected sensor. It's the first law of thermodynamics, it's not something i am making up or can change. If you don't believe me just google it, or google watts to btu conversion , lots of education out there on the net.

And i don't hate anything i am using all different types of equipment as well and let the results speak for themselves , i am currently testing 315 CMH's in different reflectors and the different bulbs in my setup , but i got leds too.

He's a waste of time. There will always be those who can't handle anything new. Meanwhile, you keep up the good work!

Thank you ttystikk!

Really enjoy your dedication to research of all the new tech. I see you're constantly trying new light setups. Most people want to stick to old methods as they've been around forever and they're a cheap buy-in. Needless to say, I've stepped out of my comfort zone and have no intention of back tracking. This is all thanks to you and a few other growers here that have put in the time,work, and $$$ to document their findings for advancement in the community.

I'll be trying Qb's after my cob runs as well. You're doing very well with them. Keep it coming!

Well, if a lamp is 35% efficient vs 60% efficient, wouldn't it stand to reason that 25% less heat is produced?

has anyone herd anything about the "burn-in" time for the Philips 3100 bulbs?
is it fine to go straight into 12-12, or should it fire for 20hrs the first illumination?

mine is the philips too. just the mogul base model.

how you likin the Blue MH? i've got another week or so and then i'm gonna add mine to the room with the LEC for 12/12.
Only had it burning a week or two but the plants seem to love it and my finishing buds look great.

I hope it doesn't reduce my yield because I really like the room in natural looking lighting mostly.
