Bassy - I take it that the drivers that you installed don't have any adjustments for the current levels? I don't know how long the warranty period is, but I would have serious doubts about the longevity of the leds running at 125% of the design heat load as well as whatever the increased voltage levels the leds are getting hit with.
No adjustments.
I spoke to GS yesterday. I think I noted what his response was previously.
It's a 2-3 yr warranty and started fresh about 45 days ago when I got this replacement light. I ain't gonna worry about it too much. I have an hps backup for any downtime during warranty period if it takes a dump. If it lasts 3 yrs I will be happy. If it takes a dump and I get a new light, especially if I get the next gen, due in a cpl months, I'll be even happier.
If it lasts one month, it will have pumped up the current grow I'm sure and won't delay my next flowering period since I still have the hps to start the flower off with if so needed.
Thanks for the concern though.
In a way, they are not running at 125%. They are 3w led. running at 2.37w
