"1500w(5pcs 300w integrated COB leds) light just consumes about 270W power"
THANK YOU !"1500w(5pcs 300w integrated COB leds) light just consumes about 270W power"
Stop fixating on the wattage!! Watts measure how much energy a light uses, not how much light is produced. Light isn't measured in watts. It's measured in foot-candles or lumens (and for grow lights often show as PAR/PPFD). You can just connect a piece of metal to a couple wires if you just want to use up a bunch of watts. High wattage doesnβt equate to a good light, it could just be very inefficient. Almost assuredly if the manufacturer isnβt telling you the brand name of the LEDs and driver, the light is a POS.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!
270 watts includes the fan ..."1500w(5pcs 300w integrated COB leds) light just consumes about 270W power"
Those fans are usually 5w each so it's 260w total for 150 diodes.270 watts includes the fan ...

PERFECT FOR A 2X4 THERES NOTHING U CAN SAY RONG ABOUT THIS LIGHT I UNDERSTAND YOUVE BEEN TOLD YOU HAVE TO"1500w(5pcs 300w integrated COB leds) light just consumes about 270W power"

Par is intensity correct?Stop fixating on the wattage!! Watts measure how much energy a light uses, not how much light is produced. Light isn't measured in watts.

OK, do what you want. Remember, I've built the same style light. I replaced it and I'm glad I did.PERFECT FOR A 2X4 THERES NOTHING U CAN SAY RONG ABOUT THIS LIGHT I UNDERSTAND YOUVE BEEN TOLD YOU HAVE TO
THANK YOU!
Par is intensity correct?
With 260w of LED within a less than a half a foot of each other, you'll basically be getting hps numbers. Low efficiency, high temperature.PERFECT FOR A 2X4 THERES NOTHING U CAN SAY RONG ABOUT THIS LIGHT I UNDERSTAND YOUVE BEEN TOLD YOU HAVE TO
THANK YOU!
What makes it low efficiencyWith 260w of LED within a less than a half a foot of each other, you'll basically be getting hps numbers. Low efficiency, high temperature.
It was a simple question sir lolAbout PAR, PPF, And PPFD
If you're shopping for horticulture grow lights, you may have seen the terms watts, lumens, LUX, foot candles, PAR, PPF, PPFD, and photon efficiency.fluence.science
The cooler LEDs are, the better they run.What makes it low efficiency
And i was thinking of getting 2 for a 2x4With 260w of LED within a less than a half a foot of each other, you'll basically be getting hps numbers. Low efficiency, high temperature.
Plus, if you look at the spectrum it has too much blue. At least for my liking.
Your answer is no, the question is simple, the answer isn't.It was a simple question sir lol
So all i have to do is have good ventilation correct?The cooler LEDs are, the better they run.
I just told you. LEDs are more efficient when they're cooler.So all i have to do is have good ventilation correct?
But what makes it low efficiency?
Yea but if i have good ventilation wouldnt my led run cooler ?I just told you. LEDs are more efficient when they're cooler.
No.Yea but if i have good ventilation wouldnt my led run cooler ?
