While CREE is absolutely the best mfg of LED components they are expensive and final functionality will always be dependent on the lamp/driver/housing/environment and just how well heat generated by the LED lamps is then trasferred away from the driver. LED 's work best at very low currents...

I don't know how often these charges are filed but has there been history of these indictments? Do they usually settle or does fed go to trial to make a statement Is this all being charged on a federal level? Is the state not throwing too? I see an excellent opportunity to go to jury...

A dimmer will trap the current going to service the ballast demand. A 1000 watt line voltage dimmer won't care what the load is. it will just choke it off creating alot of heat on the dimmer. If the dimmer is not set up with heat sinks you have a pretty good chance of failure and/or fire...

Blue Dream and I'm still stoned from last night. Fuuuuucccckkkk

Changing lamps too often is a waste of money. Not changing them at the right time means yields suffer. The only way to be sure is to measure the light at the canopy. All lamps depreciate light output from the moment they are struck on. MH is the worst. Lumen output should be converted...

I'd say 3

interesting. Do you have a spectral analysis that shows the PAR wavelengths these are emitting? Also what is the area that one of these should cover? thanks

here's a link you may find interesting when comparing where a variety of different lamps light levels fall into PAR ranges. The red line at the bottom of the graph represents PAR. Cheers!

These are my current induction lamp grows that are moving right along. I have the best results with these fixtures on overhead layouts without using any side lights.

This is astonishing. Was the original blame on this explosion pointing at an aircraft crash? If so then this is likely applies Occam's Razor where more evidence indeed points at the simpler of the two theories being the more likely to have occurred. Thank you for bringing this to our...

Hi Seamaiden. Your $20K is not an unusual number that we see with residential solar systems quotes in the average of $8-10 p kw costs with wind systems the price can drop to 1/2 of that. There are ways to bring these initial costs down but a long range plan is best decided early on. If...

Thanks for that previous thread. I see you have had concerns from the start and IMO they're justified. I'm also familiar with the Standford students in Palo Alto and that case of increase in their utility bills after the new meters were installed. Since I'm in the power generation business it...

I agree with everything you said EXCEPT the power factor on an analog meter. Meters draw an induction load so insignificant that the measured current it's recognizing, if anything is less then the actual power being consumed. There is no reason that I can think of to give up our...

sorry about that try thishttp://goo.glDMjOJ

you are absolutely correct that they are being installed as a way to eliminate the need to come out and read the meter, shut off the service from the main office, under Cap and Trade they will have a base line allowance for both summer and winter rates then if (when) you go over them the...

I'm just wondering if anyone has had a chance to compare not only the technologies but the mfg's as well? I see Advanced Hydroponics offers both MLAND and INDAGRO for EFDL induction options. Has anyone compared these two brands over an entire grow from veg thru bud? How far did you keep...

I didn't see anything on that site re PAR spectral data so it looks like they concentrate more on the visible wavelengths. There are a few other sites where the bi-spectrum grow lamps can be found; http://enviro-techlighting.com

the problem with hps is that it takes alot of wattage to produce red and far red photon flux that the plant will want to minimize elongation. So I let my induction run for 12.5 hrs a day at bud and you will see increased resin production and more trichome production. here's a link to look at...

IMO switching between metal halide and hps does create plant stress. female plants turning male hermaphrodite are often an indication of these stresses. PAR curves can be reached with using high lumen bi-spectrum lamps that like natural sunlight allow the plant to photomorphogenesis as it...
