I'm not sure if people do care. I'd like to figure that out.
TEll us what is the "so much more" part!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 technologicly impaired LEDs. The light cannot over heat. LBI understands thermal management. The guts of the light are well protected where as most companies do nothing to protect the inside of their fixture. I got the oppertunity of seeing side by side tests with HPS and other leading LED systems. I like how they disgned their reflector to gather all wasted light and redirect it into the cannopy. And I"m stoked to be growing with LEDs in general. I love the fack that I don't have to worry about my rooms being too hot or leaves burning up. ANd so much more.
Yet you still don't divulge much...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 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.Yet you still don't divulge much...

Why even bother to write anything more when you are restricted to what you can tell us?Kind of an oxymoron and counterproductive for us.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.
No I haven't taken readings to be honest. The only malfunction I've had with them is that one of the drivers doesn't like to be turned off, then back on. So once it's on, I can't turn off then back on too soon or I end up with a section of my panel not working. Comes on just fine if light is left off an hour or moreand then turned on. Yes I can say that this light (specifically this model because all models after 2010 were not the same) can compete with HPS, as I have hit a gram per watt with them. The only thing I can tell you about the Spectra 2010 model is it is old and outdated, but still performing better than 80% of todays LEDs. So I'd expect there's far better choices by now. I can think of a few, and hoping I can add to that few sometime soon here because it's about time LEDs start showing what they are capable of. LED game is slackin' on its mackin' :DThat'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?
You seem to really care if I'm not mistaken lol. I see you on nearly every LED manufacturers/vendors thread. Either you're ready to see a LED that REALLY works and can match or beat HPS, or you just REALLY like picking on LED manufacturers and advertisers. Not that I have any probs with it lol. Carry on, it's entertaining. Plus these LED peeps need that push to get them to expose what they're REALLY working with, and should push them to get some REAL LIFE examples of what their product can do.Do people really care would be my next question.
You should start by saying what your company has for the answers to these questions...
i worked for a lighting company for years and have no idea what technology could be in an LED, a heat sink, a few wires and possibly a shitty fan that would make you sign waivers/disclaimers of no info....o_OI 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.
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 technology and am eager to learn new things. I do not mean to rep the company I work for. I just truly love the light I use. When people ask me how much it cost, I will tell them. I have used other companies LEDs and was not satisfied. Its like if someone realy liked nike shoes and talked about them all of the time. Ie how much they liked them. Then happen to get a job from them and still talked about how much they loved their shoes. I am currently using a light for 9 months and it was used for a year in testing before I had it. I don't offer a warranty. I believe LBI offers a 3 year warranty. I can give you an email address to someone who works directly with this light or sales if you would like. Not to broad at all. Thank you for cleaning it up and not trying to attack me as much as you have in the past. I am more than happy to answer questions for you. I am on this site to inform people about LED technologies so, that they can make an educated desiscion before buying ANY unit.
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'm new at all this too. I have a passion for growing. I got turned onto LEDs and now I can't stop thinking or talking about them. So much so that I got a job working for an LED company. I moved 3.5 hours away to get this job. I'm a very young adult that has very little experience or knowledge compaired to the most of you. I just so happen to get my foot in the door and have the drive to learn about the technology behind LEDs and what drives them.
The company I work for is not putting anymore money into the GL at this time. We have no ads what so ever. They don't even care to sell it outside of the town we reside in. I wish the investors would put more into this light and others like it, but they make way more money on other projects. So they put all the focus on products that make big money and put these on the shelf to collect dust.
One of the items I look for as far as the lifespan goes is if its tested to L70 or L80 using 3 or 4 McAdams elipses, and 50K or 60K hoirs. If you know LED,s you should know what I mean.My intention was not to bash any other company in specific. I apologize if it came off that way.

Lets see a side by side next to say realstyles or supraspls panels...hehe wouldent be so exited afterCrickets.......
Here ya go pics just taken minutes ago and Happy Thanksgivinglol, I def wanna see these perform as I have yet too but I hear unrealistic claims of the like of a tv salesman...And I like making them prove themselves, they always say it replaces HPS and it's minimal power and last forever and grows the best buds ever...yadda yadda
Until I see one of these folks show a room full without playing games and just giving us statistics I'll be calling light bright out when I see it!
killin it rs,hehe ya gotta luv it@keiksweat did someone call my name lol
Here ya go pics just taken minutes ago and Happy Thanksgiving
