I would rather deal with an American company selling Chinese products Than a Chinese company selling Chinese products. That's how I look at it
Thanks! I normally grow with HPS and LED supplementation as myself. My previous room consisted of a 1000w HPS in the middle, and on the sides I had 2 x 300w LEDs to not only add spectrum, but also to get a larger footprint. This was just a small test grow as I was testing these lights.NICE results. A lot depends on expected results, scale, strain, temp, etc.
I most certainly didn't question the (potential, depending on wiring) eternal bulbs nor dense results. Clearly your crystals and nugs are in order 619ster.
Can I ask what sq ft room size, strain, and lighting you use (units/watts/price for LED array)?
My personal goal is giant trees, so vert hps stacks are what I'm planning for my newest arrangement. I'd be super stoked to augment results with LEDs if there are reliable and good cost-benefit units nowadays. Last time I asked at a local shop, the employee gave a thumbs down to the units they were just starting to carry.
Again, everything is dependent on limiting factors and expectations. Awesome pics 619; thanks for sharing. More info plz...
I think the best value on the market is the Onyx Bloom by RapidLED. Uses Cree XML2 3000K T4 bin. Should be just as efficient as A51 or Apache but it is cheaper. Dissipates 210W for $450 = $2.15/W
A DIY COB rig can be as cheap as $70 in parts for 52W dissipation = $1.34/W.
Cree CXA3070 3000K $45
92mm heatsink/fan $10
1.4A Driver $13
Or you can make a big one and use the heatsink to spread the COBs. This dissipates 208W and a 140mm 1.6W fan is enough to keep the heatsink just a few degrees above ambient.

An interesting Utah State lighting study pdf is being hosted by growershouse:

^^NICE^^ The light fixture cost calculator is zakly what I needed!! AND the article Is interesting !
Thank you SS
It seems that the led lights you grow with is not that good as you said . View attachment 404076View attachment 404077 View attachment 404078View attachment 404079
Yessir it can be done. You can scale it up as large as you like although you can bump into electrical limitations on 120V. 1250W power draw is about as far as I would recommend on a 15A circuit. It draws about 10.5 ampscould you build those ona large scale? or is that just a hobby joint you made? looks righteous.
