50 W Led grow Light 25X3 watt 60 degree chip 4220 Lumen
CREE & Epistar chip 30 % more light 2-5 day USA ship
It took several weeks to get here from LA, but this is on USPS not the seller.
Surface mail to interior Alaska can take some time.
She arrived well packed and NO paperwork.
Draws 50 Watts and is surprisingly bright to look at.
Fan noise is minimal / what you expect from muffin fans.
The only markings on the exterior have yet to provide me any information.
Note two red buttons.
One of them turns lamp on.
The other must be for an option this unit was not wired for and performs no observable function.
The case is sturdy and heavy.
Attachment points are sturdy and it came with these four lengths of cable.
It seems nicely sized for a planting flat.
To take these photos I needed to turn off the light. These pictures are taken in pitch dark with camera flash.
The unit is positioned 18 inches above flat rim to give the struggling little ones what looks like optimal coverage.
I count 25 LEDs.
The plastic covering the case opening is of unknown clarity or utility.
The lamps look to me to be recessed enough that light might be getting trapped.
If I had more than one I might not mind splashing some of that light about.
Sounds like I'm talking myself into removing some screws and having a look round.
I have been lighting this flat for two days now and can see no indication that the plants are not doing as well as under fluorescent.
It is important that this investigation be made to work.
Electricity is very expensive here, as I am reminded every month.
I hope you find my first venture into LEDs informative and entertaining.
I continue to disappoint myself with limited skills, but I plan to keep at it and attempt to provide comparative results when possible.
To this end, regard the two lone seedlings, visible amongst cuttings struggling to find roots.
They have a matched pair under florescent.
Efforts to communicate with vendor re. empty switch were responded to promptly and in a well intentioned form of English that I found somehow reassuring while remaining unclear.
Suggestions are encouraged and will be addressed in future performance reports. I will attempt to keep conversational posts to a minimum as I am well aware of how easily this subject can inflame even the best of friendships.
Not to mention chum for trolls.
So keep it clean gentlemen, and those few finer forms of human who deem to join us here on the farm.
Just the facts as I see them, and then some.
