So it is ok for you, that he wrote some wrong facts on his homepage? Also the wire of PAR meter is behind rod of tent. Why? Maybe the correct sensor measure some other lights in Background? Looks like a professional fake video.
There will be some Tasty 1750 series lamps showing up soon, 2100 series after the first of the year. Once the HLG-240H-C becomes more available it's won't be as much of an issue, but being a one man operation will always be low volume. The last 5 lamps I've built were already sold before they hit the website.
There's a lot of flim flam in the LED market. The only thing that lets those companies get way with it is that consumers don't care. Platinum's name-ripoff of another company's reputation should have been a warning sign about trusting self-produced performance metrics.
Buy as many you need and be happy. Please stop to promote BS lamps. Thanks
... regardless of whether the source of those facts has already discredited itself.
My concern is that people are trying to make a decision about which light to purchase. I don't think it's cool to rock the boat just to satisfy your craving for entertainment.
Whats the Fuss you can grow a plant with a flash light haha i mean really everyone is fighting over non sense my cob is better then your cob or led , Really this is getting ridiculous,
I say with the major advancements in the lighting industry Cobs will be outdated soon,, Shit I purchased a new TV year ago guess what its out dated , new PC dam thing is out dated in 6 Months ,,
I mean seriously , I am so going to laugh when in the near Future something better comes out to replace cobs ?? It will happen But in the mean time keep fighting really over nothing oh here 18 watt grow doing fine day 16 from germination and yes 18 watts
Hey Rahz i am curious how much would a cob unit cost or units cost to consistently, pull 2 .75 pounds - 3 pound harvests ??? Cause it costs me 450 bucks per unit delivered to my house to achieve them numbers per unit View attachment 3568788 View attachment 3568789 View attachment 3568788 View attachment 3568789
bout a pound
The lamps I sell have 50-56% efficient output. You can figure out what wattage/price you might need to reach your goals using that (there's a chart on the website to help with that). As far as cobs being outdated, it depends on what package type the new technology comes in. It's likely the LED industry will push cobs further. New cobs will replace old cobs. A couple years from now we might see nominal current producing over 50% efficiency and 2/3 nominal over 60%. Perhaps a different technology will surpass cob technology, either diode based or something else. If I can incorporate it into a light I will consider doing so.
Too expensive for who? I've sold most of the lamps I've built so far. Cost over time makes COB a good deal. Some people may not feel comfortable spending more up front.
