1st a Very Nice thread - special thanks to Supra and Mr. Flux and many others for the invaluable information!
I'm located in SEA and have been given the following offer from Arrow Asia:
CXB3070-0000-000N0HAD30H @ $31.5/pcs SPQ/MOQ 100pcs
CXB3070-0000-000N0HAD30G @ $27/pcs SPQ/MOQ 100pcs
CXB3070-0000-000N0HAB30H @ $27.5/pcs SPQ/MOQ 100pcs
CXB3070-0000-000N0HAB30G @ $23/pcs SPQ/MOQ 100pcs
Buying 100 of these babies is, however, a very large expense for me and the people at Arrow Asia aren't as knowledgeable as you guys, since they don't use them to grow with.
Of the above, they're all 3000K and I was planning on the AD30G bin, as it is 80 CRI and has a high luminous flux. I would be using these almost exclusively for flowering.
I would test run at both 1000mA and 1600-2000mA and since 100 is 80 more than I need, I would be selling the rest once build. The people I'd sell them to, would not run them cold, but at the 1600-2000mA, where I would try both.
The question then is basically just if it's the right purchase for us, which I'm more or less sure it is...
