I oredered a 250 watt vero29 from optics the beginning of August so i dont understand why u cant order a 250 watt and i dont know the difference between Vero18 and Vero29 but the consensus i got was the Vero29 were better
On their website it says the 250 comes with 4 Vero 18's. I'm thinking the 18's are just smaller each but that's why there are 4 versus the 200 having 2 Vero 29's. I'm about ready to pull the trigger but just wanted to be sure one wasn't older technology than the other.
Wow dude your right was under the impression i had vero29's but there vero18, im going to add the 200 watt Vero29 to fill out my 4x4
Are you getting good results off the 250?
Used it to flower two plants and got about 8 zips dried.
Same technology just different sized chips then? Thanks
Actually the number in the name is the diameter of the LES (Light emitting surface 18mm vs 29mm).I can't answer your question technically, but from what I understand practically speaking, the 29's will have more penetration, more intensity. So it depends on your growing style. If you grow tall plants, you might want the 29's. If you grow in a scrog, the spread out light of the 250/18's might serve you better. From comments others have made, it sounds like the 18's came out first, and then the 29's were a "next generation", bigger better brighter thing. I've also read that the 18's are more efficient... so I don't think there's anything particularly wrong with them.
I'm running two 120's right now -- which is 4 Vero 18's -- in a 2.5x2 space. First run so I can't give you harvest numbers, but its bright as hell in there... if that helps.
Sorry I can't be more specific, I've gotten into this late in the game and I'm still in the early part of the learning curve myself. Hope something in there helps.
Thanks for the corrections, it didn't seem like BigEasy was getting the answer he was looking for so I tried to cobble together what I've read about these lights. When I was speaking about better penetration, it was based on the comparisons made between the 120 and 200 unites -- each having two 18s or 29s -- mostly from JimmyIndica's thread that compares those two. That's always the problem with repeating what others have said and not having a firm understanding of the underlying technology, so thanks again for setting the record straight.
