    Looking for the best LED grow light?

    You can not run 3w through them even when pushing them to the max. Please look at specs and do the math.

    Nope, a good LED is a good LED. Everyone has access.

    Looking for the best LED grow light?

    Here is Epistar's spec sheet. Oh wait, can't access it Here is CREE's spec sheet. Power(Watts)=Volts x Current(Amps) 1000mA=1A 1.09W=3.1V x 0.35A

    Looking for the best LED grow light?

    330w power draw replaces a 1000W HID. 240 x 3w Diodes, CREE, Bridgelux and Epistar configurations. What's 240 x 3? What about the fans and controllers? I'm still trying to find actual spec sheet produced by any of these chinese companies. I'll see if I have any of these LEDs lying around, to...

    The lie is that they are not 3w. They are ususually 1.6 and marketed as 3w

    We have had many testers and do any of you see any of the data, pictures taken, time lapse movies? Neither do I. The testers never came through. We have had testers in both California and Oregon. I have posted specs on other threads. I will compile data and post on every thread if needed...

    I'll write more when I have time. I wish I could go on forever, but I have to get some work done today :p If only I could spend all day answering emails.

    I wish I could. Being that I work for an LED company, there are restrictions on what I can and can not say. It sucks, believe me.

    3W vs 80W LED

    I've looked at ever other light on the market. My company has tore apart several of them. I own a few myself. Are you sure they are even really 1w? I can't seem to find the graph that shows it exceeds the photosynthetic action spectrum. Can you send me a link or post it here. Do they suggest...

    You're right. I guess working for a company that went ahead and tore apart several different companies LEDs is a plus for me and only to the the people that work here.

    I'm not sure if people do care. I'd like to figure that out. LBIs brochore explains a lot of this.

    I think LBI's GL series is awesome because they designed everything down to the dies that are under each lense. They dont buy lights that are specific nm off the shelf. They dial in their nm, while thinking about how light mixes. They are able to use 8 LED's to replace 100s of cheap or...

    Growing with LEDs for 2 years or more?

    Like all this talk about full spectrum, 1w, 3w, 5w, lumiens... I would like people to think about how light mixes. And when light mixes that you get new colors. Do people know what drivers or controlers are in the LED systems? Do they know if they are the right ones for that light or if the...

    Growing with LEDs for 2 years or more?

    Well, I'm hoping that people will ask questions about LEDs and the technology behind them. I'm not certain on what people do or do not know. With the knowledge I have, I can tell what is a marketing scam, when looking at LED systems. It seems as if people are not catching these or have other...

    3W vs 80W LED

    "Full-spectrum" is not a technical term when applied to an electrical light bulb but rather a marketing term implying that the product emulates natural light. Products marketed as "full-spectrum" may produce light throughout the entire spectrum, but actually do not produce an even spectral...

    3W vs 80W LED

    I never thought you were a chump. I don't know where you would get that idea from. "Seriously brandon you need to look at what people write and assume somethings for your self...you're trying to show them off, why hide what you don't have too?" I don't know what that means. Can I see a...

    3W vs 80W LED

    I don't make them or buy them. Not sure who makes them. I know LBI designs them and buys them. I apologize for not understanding some of your questions. I don't know what you mean by those last two statements.

    My intention was not to bash any other company in specific. I apologize if it came off that way. I am not looking for others to bash other products either. I am looking for a light that can hold glory. One that I can put to the test. One that I can gain more knowledge about. I'm into LED...

    That's awesome. Thank you for your post. Have you taken any readings to see if the LEDs are less intense? Any issues with the light what so ever? Does this light replace HPS? Is there anything else you could tell me about this light?
