Thanks A lot man! i promise this next one is going to be even better!Nice looking nugs Alex
looking forward to another grow!
In the mean time enjoy.
Thanks man! like i said before, i would've been super happy with just 2 oz. but once i saw 4.4 my mind was blown!great work alex! 4.4 ounces is great! and like ya say im sure ya could have even pulled more but i would be very happy with that! cant wait to see what ya got in store for the next grow
Hope you do! you will enjoy it very much.Really great work, made me dream and willing to buy a vipar a200 pretty soon
For $420 black dog you get 135 true watts in a brighter 5w reduced area or for $240 you can get 100 true watts Vipar A100 3w in a larger area just not as intense footprint.hows the warranty on those vipars? Also - if you think that light is bright, you should look into black dog led's. They are the best leds on the market hands down. A little pricey but you get what you pay for - and a lifetime warranty is hard to beat.
3 years warranty is more than enough for a light that can pay itself off in a few months. besides, after seeing the quality of its build, the last thing on my mind is worrying about a warranty and having a problem with the light. ive never really heard of black dog or seen many topics/journals about it pop up to jude, but as far as best led light goes and seeing my latest batch of La Confidential, i dont think be switching to any other company in near futurehows the warranty on those vipars?

Back at ya brother dawg!Merry Chrimbo Brother Alex
Hey budman111, Power is only a part of the equation, arguably just as important for yields and especially quality, the spectrum is also very important. I don't see anything on the Vipar product pages about the spectrum. Do you know anything about their spectrum? I did notice that they use 60 degree lenses which should not give you a larger area, they should in fact give you smaller area of intense light. The Black Dog LED lights use 120 degree lenses to get a good footprint while keeping the light close so power is not wasted.For $420 black dog you get 135 true watts in a brighter 5w reduced area or for $240 you can get 100 true watts Vipar A100 3w in a larger area just not as intense footprint.
worth roughly double the price? you judge. Lifetime warranty...will they even be around in a few years...who knows...
Hey Alex, there are more than a few journals and pics out there with Black Dog LED. You can find links to some of them on the web site. If you are curious, check it out.ive never really heard of black dog or seen many topics/journals about it pop up to jude, but as far as best led light goes and seeing my latest batch of La Confidential
Light Spectrum: Blue 440/460nm, Red 630/660nm & Warm White 3000KI don't see anything on the Vipar product pages about the spectrum. Do you know anything about their spectrum?
I thought their was NO white leds in the vipar??? did they just add the warm whites recently........strangeLight Spectrum: Blue 440/460nm, Red 630/660nm & Warm White 3000K

Not familiar with them so I don't know if the white is new but yes budman, the light from the whole fixture wouldn't be white (most likely more reddish) but those individual LEDs would look white. Of course you should not be looking directly at the light without eye protection. We actually use welding glasses to look at our LED lights.Silly question but would the LED look white because i got an A100 and dont have it?
Yeah it should look warm white........BUT like Perro said ^^^^use eye protection when checking the panel!!!! tell us If you see any, I really think they must have just added themSilly question but would the LED look white because i got an A100 and dont have it?
OK, i just dug out my old sun glasses and had a good inspection and all i can see is the blues, reds and a couple of UV unless this if the mystery diod?
Agreed, depending on the sunglasses budman dug out and how far the UV is they may actually look like they aren't even working. The white would stand out and they would definitely help balance out the spectrum with the few wavelengths they were using before. Would love to see their full spectrum on a spectroradiometer.Nah those "UV" diodes should be dim to the eye...... the warm white led should be the brightest compared to red and blue to the eye....sneaky bastards didn't mention changing the specs on the site. They added the WW leds to "balance" the vipar's spectrum and add far red. good move IMO...
