just bought 4 100 watt advanced diamond series to replace my 600 MH in a 10 x 3 veg room. going to hang 1 every 2.5 feet. the temps in my veg room with the MH hovered from 8 - 12 degrees above ambient. i've got three of the led's installed so far and the temps are 0 - 2 degrees above ambient, amazing! summer will be a whole lot nicer this year.
i'm also part of california light works trial members to test out there 800 watt led/uvb light thats advertised in high times right now. actual pull is around 630 i believe. it's for a 4x4 area and that's what i'll be putting in. it's going to replace a 1000 watt hps unless it doesn't prove itself. i have 90 days to test it out.
as soon as i get the cali led and my watt reader i'll post back with specs on the advanced and cali light as well as begin a journal to document my findings. should be getting started in a month or so with the cali led.
Now I am worried the Blackstar 240 I ordered is going to be a piece of crap

and i think there getting bad press here i love it
i have previously used a dual-spectrum 600w on same table and i know early days but been doing this a good ol time and the growth colour leatherness of leave amazin
i might get round 2 postin some pics just thought id throw my thoughts in there
peace all
If you call Lumigrow the big model can be had for 1100 - 1200 $ from what I am hearing and another member on here said he just got 2 for 1100 each. Much cheaper than advertised on the website. That is for the 330 watt ES with 5 yr warranty. So if anyone out there is gonna buy one make sure you don't pay full sticker!
when i bought blackstar it said 240 equals 80x3watt 240led par output but at a lesser pullReporting the actual current draw of a device is not giving something "bad press". I don't believe that anyone has said that the Blackstar won't work - only that it pulls about half of the power that it's name would lead you to believe. I'm glad it's working out for you, but did you think that you were buying a 240w fixture?

so 135w I still expect par output to be 240 i dont care really what power it usin jus as long as i get the par output there is a youtube clip out there that shows what im tryin to say
peace
This is why this thread, and all of GP73LPC's work on the tables, is so important. People can compare the salient points of damn near every commercial fixture at a glance, and see what they are really getting.
very cool... you gonna start a grow thread?
So yes these babies are built like a tank. Dropped one once and it didn't even hiccup or flicker or anything and didn't leave a mark on it since the paint it super thick and seems baked on or powder coated. I'm sure it is actually! Great LED lights that grow some great buds After all these are used by real nurseries and greenhouses not just closet growers so they have to make sure the quality is there and you absolutely get what you pay for with these. Sunshine in a box.
Good stuff man +K
Yep. Light arrived and it's crazy bright. I accidentally looked at it because I didn't realize it was a delay fire and thought it was broken
Having an issue with an Amazon vendor right now with getting my Can33 here :/ I want to get sprouts going before I start posting anything though.
I'm really liking the look and features of the new Lumibar, they would be great for vertical-type grows with LED and they are 4 feet long and you can order them with the 740 nm far red I could see a nice like 4 x 4 foot grow tent or bigger with one in each corner standing up vertical and a bunch of extremely healthy full sized 4 foot tall Sweet Tooth plants growing in the middle of them just covered in huge frosty sweet buds all up and down the whole length of them and all the side branches. Would be a ton of light at 175 watts each that would be 700 watts total of kickass ALL PAR Lumipower!
Damn I need to start selling these things Or get some free samples or something
