[JimmyIndica]

Cool, a new model. I'm sorry if you allready stated it but what is the brand / company name for this model ? I didn't even kow about the silicone optics...

Thanks for sharing.

New company. CXB200 and let ya know the Name/website as soon as its finished. The Stella optics I like very much. Seem to put a more even intensity across canopy.

Thanks JimmyIndica, will you do a public grow like for your others lights ? How many COB based light do you own for the moment ? I'm kinda jealous.

Hey Jimmy. I was doing a little research recently and came across the spec sheet for the Stella Optics. It would appear that they're universal for Vero 18/29, and CXB3070/3590 COBs. From what I can gather, they don't require an ideal connector, nor any kind of clamp, which makes them an all-in-one optic solution (first of it's kind). While they're priced around ~20$ on sites like Mouser.com, they seem like a worthy assist for any DIY'er.

Attached is the data sheet.



Note that when coupled with the CXB3590, the Stella optics reduce the COBs light beam from ~120* to ~72*, which means extra downward force and less overall coverage in comparison to the popular 90* spread.

I was looking at those too. Found them for 9$ each.
They explicitly state that they're not tested with high wattage cobs and provide no warranty on heat damaging the lense.....or something to that effect.

They have to cover there ass with all the varying level skillsets that work withem.
I can tell ya its the best optic Ive ever used on COBs. They take the circular hotspots out and evenenly distribute better than anything I have personally used.

Right. I'm sure they've been tested for your units. But guys running cobs super hard may have problems.

Ive been testing on 100watt CXB3590s and 120watt Vero29s for 4months. IMO nobody is gonna put more than 120vero29 in these fixtures.
Ledil did quite bit testing on the 3590s and Vero29

Plant looks great under that light. You did a great job keeping the canopy even!!!!
With my GGL light, through the lenses it projects a distinct line where the light stops and starts. It's either in the foot print and bright or out of it and dark. How do those optics compare to that and others? What distance do you think you could get the plant before burn?

Start to bleach/burn 16inches.18- 24inches is optimal with 100watt 3590s with Stella with CXB200
I know what ya mean about hotspots and overlapping.
Stella is very good and def rec trying.
They might have spacing wrong on the GG? I am just guessing though.
