Before we begin id like to thank Cammie from HGL & Stephen from HLG for giving me/ us this oppertunity. Takes balls fir sure. Those of you who don't know, HydroGrowLed is back. Cammi has been Making Waves with a shocking display of light give aways to growers whom will mostly provide side by side documented grows vs. the TopDawg of RIU, voted by the community. Whom of course is no other then our very own, well known QuantumBoard Creator himself, drumrole pls.....
@Stephenj37826 &
@robincnn. Proprietors of HLG.
So, there's so much to say about how like HGL is a founder of led grow lights over a decade ago breaking gpw's that we have a tough time with today. I remember believeing from memory that these are Not just Claims.
HLG, stepped up light distribution & electrical efficiency of their fixtures with the QB platform. Forcing many competitors to follow suit & creating a Monster QB trend. There are many who vouche for these boards & very nice grows to back them up. They have recently started to enhance their white spectrum using 630's & 660's as well as a higher K Temp., making a sweet full cycle grow light.
HLG uses a white phosphor based led as their Horticultural Lighting Solution, Whereas HGL uses Red/Green/Blue tech. Creating a spectrum specifically designed by the owner (Cammi) using a mathematical equation based on the many Nasa studies, Chlorophyll absorption charts & one in particular on tomatoes. Research Theory further backed up by A Plants absorption chart that appears pretty accurate & I think can be proven. Showing how much of each nm the plant uses & a ton of stuff she could explain better.
So we'll start with the HGL as HLG is awaiting Patent approval on their Trinity model.
Short on time for intro but they'll be plenty more to follow.
HGL recommended & provided x4 of their 84x models (150w) 1'x1' panels using their 3x special lenses to cover a 4x4.
Only RGB is used in these lights.
Here's what my 4x4 would approx look like based on HGL's many par Charts & a 2' hanging height which seams to be the height to accomplish the 4x4 coverage.
My spacing will prob be a lil further tho. Like 8" edge to edge.
Not bad coverage at all but for them its more about spectrum. Being the key to heavy yields & plant health. HGL says this light quality is far more important then quantity/spread, or electrical system efficiency.
Came shipped fast, like real fast & was well packed with protective Foam & extra corners built onto the box. (I tore off)
This Package to cover a 4x4 is small & easy on shippingI'd imagine .
12"x12" Panels
Lens array
Diodes are set deep in an Edison housing w/ 105• x3 Penetrator series lenses
Screened fans to prevent debris from entering the unit.
33.5" height disperses exactly a 33.5" , 90• footprint.
Lens array Spectral diode distribution
HLG Trinity Data/Info soon to follow.
Any questions?
