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.

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.

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.
All day answering emails?you never answer anything,only ask questions.

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 The only thing I can tell you about the Spectra 2010 model is it is old and outdated, but still performing better than 80% of todays LEDs.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' :D
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.
The way I see it, is nobody is gonna buy into all this mumbo jumbo! Give us data! Give us the cold hard science of it! You're right Brandon Black, you don't know what we know, or what we understand about LEDs. But why is it so hard to just put the info out there? I understand that not all specs and pieces/components can be displayed as it would allow for your light to be copied or imitated. But nobody is gonna buy something that they can't even know what's going on with it or how it's supposed to better than the thousands of other crap LEDs out there. Then you don't have nothing to show us as far as real life plants grown by these (specically cannabis!). And then there's nobody in real life testing these for you guys. Sure you may have tester's of your own or have done tests of your own, but we don't know they're real. Send out a few tester lights to farmers here or wherever it is you're trying to show these off. Nobody is gonna take your "word" for it that these are the best LEDs and these should be the optimal choice for people looking to get LEDs. It'd be like a breeder coming out with seeds and simply stating that the genetics are the best in the world, and that the plants grown from these seeds will outyield any other strains, and be more potent than other strains. No info on the genetics and no test grows from real life farmers? I doubt many folks are gonna think twice about snatching a pack of those beans lol.

lol, 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!

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_O
how are your made? where? in house? i doubt it.
I'd love to hear even some "hints" as to what you wouldnt be able to say.
still my opinion seeing them in the field, over a field, grow rooms, living rooms blah,
LEDs still need to be improved, buying them now is a waste of time and money, and with all the potentials for what could come out soon, and what companies could come in the LED market to make things TONS cheaper, its like arguing laser discs. cool for a little but not for growing... talk spectrum all day but if it doesnt add an inch of frost onto my plants i could care less....
HPS/MH is still most beneficial IMO, because you have to factor in so much more than just the lighting. cost/effectiveness/reality all come to play there. if anything i think some plasmas are the real technology to talk about if truth be told.... talk about getting real yields efficiently.

Hmm, here's a thought, this is a board for growing marijuana.
I personally love marijuana, and I love every one of the female plants I grow.
I love them so much that I share a grow log on this forum, displaying my affection for all who choose to see and I leave it up to each person to take what they want from my display.
If your true intent is similar with your light, then do the same. Share with us a detailed grow log with your light and put on display all that you love about your light for us to see.
All I see you doing is talking up a light for a company that you claim to work for, but not represent, doing so out of love for an inanimate object that gives you what exactly in return?
What do you gain from all your effort?
You are either trying to persuade people to buy the light, or you are a complete moron that doesn't know any better, like a puppy that peed on a rug and is unsure why someone is yelling at them.

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.

Oh, so you have the only access to the Holy Grail of LEDs???
Ha, no wonder you are incapable of carrying on an intelligent conversation. You are a child, spouting off your thoughts, and chasing a dream, which real business men decided is not worth pursuing. Good luck with all that.
Please keep your product promotion to a single thread, you should probably talk to an admin about getting a sponsored vendor page in the LED section.

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

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.
