$229 for 800w LED.....how bad can it be?

[Hammerhead]

mine look different?

Yours looks the same as what I got. Same driver '

The price is 100% why I picked it up. Any LED will work with the right spectrum.

These are all the LED diods in the fixtures I use. All are top brands used by most. I took all of these pics. I left off the brand names on purpose. The Amazon LED doesn't look much different. 1st pic is from a $800 LED using Samsung LM301H Chips

Here are some numbers on the other end of the bars. I couldn't find anything using these.

Ok I'm back on the not Samsung camp.

Actually Hammerhead figured it out. Or at least his photos have shown that they're Bridgelux 2835s and not Samsung 3030s or 2835s. B-lux 2835s are an older LED array so that makes more sense about the price. Unlike Hammerhead i have little faith in their ability to grow weed properly.

BTW Beyirey is the manufacturer of those lights or at least the strips. You can find them on Amazom. I think they're getting out of the lighting business. Probably just drop shippers. 17c30b is a Hex Color Code that according to Google is Lime Green. I believe the other numbers are the amount of LEDs, voltages and such.

The heat sink on it want be as good as the more expensive led lights

But if yiu get 3 years out of it you done well

My friend had led driver from China and it set his attic on fire polish where called. I alway try to think safety furst

If bridgelux are such garbage and obsolete and won't grow weed, why is mars hydro using it in their lights?? Mars Hydro at 3 times the price?

My bad, I was looking at the sticker you posted and not driver...duh lol.....found mine and identical to yours, minus remote.
Wonder which spectrum diagram is closest. Did they send a par chart with yours? Would 3000 and 5000 diodes be visibly different? I'm thinking it's 4000, 660.

I'm thinking about supplementing with these uv/ir . Anyone had experience/input with this??

Would put my total investment at just over $300

I have both the Samsung and Bridgelux products from Mars Hydro, and I can
assure you that they each work real well.
Just did finish up a side by side with them, and each delivered like ringing a bell.

happy to hear.... i upgraded to a 5x5ft tent with a mars fce8000 , running at 70pct about 18inches over the tops - everything looks good, but compared to 1000w hps/mh and my last 315 cmh's , it seems the plants are smaller- buds look good, overall the plants are smaller - could be i'm running this round in 3gallon fabric bags- previously under the 1000watters or the cmh's, we used 5gallon fabric and 5gall plastic pots... we will see how the final product looks in 2-3 weeks...

Yes, there are 2.. That pic is on the side with voltage specs. I got no other charts with mine. OPPS I see you found the sticker.

I use bridgelux LED fixtures. They grow excellent cannabis plants.. See my tester thread link in my signature. Anyone with an opinion with no experience using different LEDs diodes is moot. Bridglux, OSRAM, and Samsung diodes all grow excellent cannabis plants. I'm sure there are more. These are the 3 in use now. The Amazon LED wont get tested anytime soon. When it does it will be for flowering males.

This plant was grown using Mars FCE-6500 Bridglux.. Mars does offer the same light FC-6500 with Samsung 301 Diodes..

 

[Hammerhead]

I forgot about these.. I used these a few years ago to veg seedlings. 250W 35,000LM (140LM/W) 1-10V Dimmable, UL Listed 4000K 3030 Diodes. I still have these. Worked perfectly

just get growing don't waste time

Plants are looking great I'll post a progress pic in next day or 2

 

[Hammerhead]

I put the LED in one of my tents.. When I have a male to flower I will make a tester thread for this LED. I don't have any new males for pollen collection so it will take some time.

I'm still curious on what the spectrum looks like....the pic in your book or mine.

 

[driver77]

Starting 6th day under new light. Went back to figure how old they are....oldest are 38 days old, 2 youngest 34. Definitely growing first pic is first day in...2nd is this morning.
