Can you share the link with us please VTM?I have found an appropriate website with pertinent led info.
And I would say the hans is quite beast with its XP-Es..- 56 Watt Cree XP-E and Rebel LED Power, total power consumption max. 65 Watt
- 3 selectable positions; (1) Seedlings and cuttings, (2) Mothers and Early weeks of flowering, and (3) Full flowering position. Easily selectable by Switch
- 4 Blue XP-E, 27 Red XP-E and 2 DeepRed Rebel Led's
- Each Led has it's own reflector, either 106 or 123 degrees, therefore optimal control of the light pattern
Hello there, RUI LED enthusiasts
I have been reading in forums (mostly RUI) for the past month and a half for hours each night in order to give myself the best head start I possibly can. I feel I have a pretty decent idea on what to expect once i start my new hobby. I always thought about doing it but never had the balls. Things have changed
I know i will screw up and make mistakes. However I don't want rush in and make a mistake on something as important as Lighting.
my planned flowering space: 2' deep x 6' x7'H
my planned veg space: 20" deep X 6' x 4'H
Now start up costs are not an issue for me. I'm focusing on growing great organic bud and want to get it right. I do not want to use HID. My research (on all of your research ) has given me a short list of lighting options
-Area 51 160's 2 in each space. Which color options would be best in each space?
-Apache 120 or 200 's 2 in each space, again which color options would suit me best in each space and what are the footprint on those models? However, their website is awful and that gives me pause
-illumitex If i were to use these what would i need to do it right in my spaces? most likely I would use the eclipse units daisy chained and would have make my spaces longer as the bars are 48". Not sure how many i would need and how that would increase my watts which i want to keep down.
Thanks in advance
Yes because if you run those like Hans runs his yours will melt. To run those 30w arrays at max you'll need amazing cooling. What's the specs on the driver you're going to use? Hans' drivers are probably perfect for his panel. What's Hans using for beam angles? Something tells me with his reflectors his isn't 110-120 degrees. Han's also has specific binnings I believe. Big differences right there.Yo, I want to bring Cree XP-E back up for a sec. Turns out that XPE what is on my model of the hans panel.my hans panel specs:And I would say the hans is quite beast with its XP-Es..So here is an example of one I just got.30W Cree XPE 8 Red 2 BluePower: 30WEmitted Color: Blue+RedWavelength: 465nm~480nm(Blue)/620nm-630nm(Red)Viewing Angle: 110 DegreeSo, is there any reason I should expect the new multi-chip ones to perform any less well?
I'm counting down the days. First thing I'll do after the unboxing is take a nice big whiff of that "new technology smell"!!! I'm just debating on the genetics. Need something very special for that set up. The anticipation is killing me. Thanks to all of you for posting all the LED ins and outs. Made my decision easy. Now I have to stop reading before I make my own lol.Two A51s ought to cover a 4'x4' very well.
Some day....

Hi DI, well where to start. Aliexpress and Alibaba products come straight out of China so you take a big chance when ordering from them because if it isn't what you ordered or it is defective you will have to pay return shipping to China and who knows what you will get back or IF you will get it back. There isn't much recourse when going that route. I am not saying that there aren't any reputable companies in China but finding one is not an easy thing.Hi, just wondering if anyone has heard anything about the lights from this store on aliexpress. Also, are there any known respectable sellers on either ebay or alibaba?
Thanks.
Hi, thanks for the response. I have bought a bit of stuff off the net, just hopping to find a reputable seller on one of the sites. Also, there is buyers protection on alibaba. Thanks again.Hi DI, well where to start.

As for Ebay, check to see if they are a USA company and what their warranty policy is and what their seller rating is and if they have sold any of that item before. Make sure they have very few complaints and that they are not a brand new account. I guess what I am saying is be very careful because there are MANY knock-offs, re-branded clones and just plain junk that these guys will sell to you without a second thought.
Personally I would order from Ebay before the Ali people. At least with Ebay you do have buyer protection but check the listing very carefully and ask the seller questions about the product like who makes the LED chips they use, what wave-lengths they are, what wattage they are rated at, how many of each color, etc. If they answer your questions and don't give you the runaround that would be a good sign. Just make sure and check everything you can about them and the product. I know from experience that things may look great but a lot of them are not.
I hope that helps. Best of luck.
Hey DI. The standard specs are as follows on that panel:Hi, thanks for the response. I have bought a bit of stuff off the net, just hopping to find a reputable seller on one of the sites. Also, there is buyers protection on alibaba. Thanks again.
Here is a light I was looking at. I am wondering if it has a good ratio for all the spectrum's and/or if it missing any & I should get it customized? I have read a bit about the led's but it's a little ways beyond me so help is appreciated.
One more thing. Here are the colors and angles one can choose from for the panel. The selection is not bad and covers most of the pertinent spectrum.Hi, thanks for the response.
