What can we go off for buying led lights the diodes? Or the wattage confused.
What can we go off for buying led lights the diodes? Or the wattage confused.Yea i kno but which is better for a 2x4 one priced at 240 watts for $170
Or one that produces 240 watts for $80 even if i get 2 of the $80 it would be more watts more coverage ect every led light produces heat spider farmer led produces heat as well as mars hydro you have to ventilate the tent thats all in my book but hey imma newbie so not much experience here!
I added to my above post. It's not heat. It's intensity. I would put cobs in my greenhouse at 7.5' from the ground. I could probably get away with that. The diffused light inside my tent is so much better than any of the cob lights I've built ... and I've built many.What can we go off for buying led lights the diodes? Or the wattage confused.
Nice!I've ordered from Kingbrite 3 times. None of my orders took more than a week to arrive. I'm concerned about that cob light. If it were me, I would circle back and look at anything that has the LM301b or h LED diode. My experience with cobs in a tent was hot spots.
Edit: Let me expand on that. Keep in mind that I'm a skilled trade worker so DIY is second nature since I do it everyday to feed my family. I built a cob light.
New Type Of Led's
Bedgetgrowlights.com appears to be a USA made product. One thing I did notice it that they do not publish their PPF and Efficiency numbers. You will find these to be of importance's when comparing LED lights. Most of the import lights use PAR for comparison, which only tells part of the story...www.thcfarmer.com
It was a mix of burple and white LEDs each chip was 50 watts. (700watts + fans ... pulled about 850w from the wall) The heatsinks were well cooled. You could put y our hands on them and it would only feel warm. It was a well built light but it fried my plants that were directly underneath it. Cobs are better suited mounted well above the plants.

But aint intensity what we going for?I added to my above post. It's not heat. It's intensity. I would put cobs in my greenhouse at 7.5' from the ground. I could probably get away with that.

Agree and SF, mars and all those have that light beat also. Yes they all produce heat but you will see what I mean if you ever did a side by side.Don't buy the individual diodes. Buy a light that uses the LM301b or h diode.
Intensity is directly related to efficacy and wattage. And we want even coverage not cog spot lights... especially if height limited.But aint intensity what we going for?
It's like sun burn. Yes, you want intensity ... the difference would be like getting a tan vs getting a blistering burn.But aint intensity what we going for?
Would they have it beat bcuz of the intensity?Agree and SF, mars and all those have that light beat also. Yes they all produce heat but you will see what I mean if you ever did a side by side.
So your saying using these light at the right distance will still give my plants burns ?It's like sun burn. Yes, you want intensity ... the difference would be like getting a tan vs getting a blistering burn.
I second that ... You have $80.00 today. Maybe after you get paid again, you will have the rest. Save up for the light with the right LEDs for your grow. You will thank me later. Promises!Intensity is directly related to efficacy and wattage. And we want even coverage not cog spot lights... especially if height limited.
We been through all this. Its not my grow if ya wanna spend 80 and your good with that then uts up to you.
The cob lights I have built would require 3 to 5 feet between the top of your plants and the light. At 18 inches, your plants would die. I'm going to bet you that your $80.00 light has 10 watt cobs so it's really only 50 - 60 watts of light. The rest is fan wattage.So your saying using these light at the right distance will still give my plants burns ?
Its not the money thats the problem you say save up but for what light lol i dont know what to choose hints thread titleI second that ... You have $80.00 today.

I've been involved in many of those discussions. They are all over this board. lol. Do a search ... you will find them. If money isn't the issue, purchase something you will be happy with. I think the Amazon light you are interested in would end up being a disappointment to you.Its not the money thats the problem you say save up but for what light lol i dont know what to choose hints thread title
I also checked out reviews from this light and it is a beast for the price and dont see thw diff from this one and mars hydroThe cob lights I have built would require 3 to 5 feet between the top of your plants and the light.

It's NOT pulling 1500watts from the wall. That's an advertising ploy and you're buying into it. Find out exactly what wattage it's pulling from the wall.i think your wrong
Its a 240 from the wall thats the wattage for a 2x4 tentI've been involved in many of those discussions. They are all over this board. lol. Do a search ... you will find them.

AND
Personally, I would go with 320watts of light from the wall in a 2 x 4. It's a bit over-kill so be sure to get a light that has a dimmer.
Its pulling 240 FROM THE WALLL IT SAYS IT IN THE PICTURE MAN READ!!!!!It's NOT pulling 1500watts from the wall. That's an advertising ploy and you're buying into it. Find out exactly what wattage it's pulling from the wall.
YOU THOUGHT I THOUGHT IT WAS ACTUALLY 1500 WATTSIt's NOT pulling 1500watts from the wall. That's an advertising ploy and you're buying into it. Find out exactly what wattage it's pulling from the wall.
