Avid,you got better cobs too.cxb3590?cool panel by the way that batwing bro.how ya getting on wit em?congratulations. peace nice work.
Cxb,.. . Cbx us a fuckin motor bike dude.IMHO this thread is long overdue. Why?
Most of the CoB lights, be they manufactured or DIY, are strictly single spectrum CoBs; 3500K, 4000K, maybe even some 4500k vs Amare Technologies CoB hybrid which uses Cree CBX 3070 CoBs.
Each Amare CoB is surrounded with a ring of Cree deep blues, deep reds and IRs, said to enhance those specific spectrums during both veg and flower that amp up chlorophyll A & B , sort of like adding a turbo, or super charger to an already high performance motor.
If it matters, by how much?
Looking at the Cree CBX 3070 product page on Amare own website, the extra ring does not seem at all needed. Maybe all that is needed is the IR diodes, So, I do wonder how much MORE will it bring to the harvest to justify its additional complexity and cost. I get why many DIYers call BS. Assuming the new Amare SE 250 arrives in time to use for flowering, we'll get a first hand comparison. I have no axe to grind. Was it Eisenstein who said "Things should be as simple as they need to be, and no simpler'?
My plan is to use the SE 250 without using the extra diodes (the rings total ~ 100w) in one tent and in the SE 220 in another using the CoBs and surrounding diodes, so 220w v 150w. That disparity alone could well make this side-by side moot. I am open to a manufacturer providing their CXB 3070 or Vero CoB only near 250 watts actual
New baby seedlings are vegging under 4 Transcend Lighting LED T5s @ 30w in my DIY bubble Bath, and should be ready to flip in 3-4 weeks.
man,you must have spent some wonga on all that bro.gonna have some serious grow op...cool stuff.love all the LES,tech.im still chucking out dank with me wank mars reflector 144s and a uvb reptile tube.cant wait to get my shit together n build some quality shit like you,RS,sea,and all the other diy doers'.The light is working fine. I am uysing my veg light right now, with 12 Toyal Blue Led diodes and they stay on 24/7 while the cxa's go off after 16 hours. Royal Blue seems to put more sugar in the leaves and help nurture vegetative growth. My newest light fixture is a passive mixed 3500k/5000k kelvin fixture at 200w with a HLG-185H-C700a driving two 77v cxa3590, 3500k, BB bin, cri 90 and two 36v cxb3590, 36v, 5000k, BB bin, cri 90 quite nice. I also have 8 Far Red led diodes on that fixture. My active cooling 200w fixture is so quiet I cannot hear it. My passive fixture is even better and can do both veg and bloom with the mixed kelvin frequencies. I am going to do a Royal Blue Led Diode bar using 1"x1" x 1/4" th by 24" aluminum for veg activities. peace
