What diodes are they using?
Its around 80/lm per watt.
it is cob full spectrum, the side diodes are just for ir and uv. Honestly I get LEDs a few times a year test them out if they're no good I just throw them up on Craigslist for cheap. My wife just didn't want me building anymore. She's more if it "looks" safer do it rather than build. Besides the guys at lifted gave me a good deal on two. Personally I don't mind spending the money and trying them out.
The Epistart COBS are just as garbage as the single diodes...
I always thought the more you drive a cree cob the less efficient it is where as the more you drive a vero the better it becomes ????
i understand Cree and citizen cobs are great I have some citizen 1818's and 1825. I'm simply going to try something different and see how it does! It may be a strange concept for some I know. Besides I also have a few kind xl1000's, a lush dominator x2, 6 aquamana lights I originally had on my reef tanks they have epistar diodes pulls 165 watts from the wall I use them in my veg room. Because let's face it if it can grow coral it can veg a plant. Those cheap little bastards are three years old and still running strong. No dead LEDs or anything. So don't get me wrong I like all lights I have a bunch from across the board. I would have liked to get Johnsons maximzier to try out as well but it's gotten harder to find. I also know I could build a wifi module to control my lights. I have more than enough certifications from Cisco, comptia, Microsoft as well as a degree in computer science infrastructure side from NMC. I simply like trying something new. Something no one else has tried yet.
Bad Ass ! Thank you for sharing! If you post a review or photos, please feel free to fwd to me. I would try that high tech light out if i could too! I think it would inspire some good sci fi novels hovering above a room.
I understand now. However, Epistar or Epileds whatever COBS are just not worth it.
It's all good even cobkits knows I had spoke with him earlier in the month about getting 12 more citizen 1818's and running them. But like I said the wife doesn't want me building anymore. I have plenty of burple lights so much so it looks as though I'm being kidnapped by aliens. My wife controls the money it's the only reason I have enough to blow on stuff so meh. Hey I'll let everyone know once I get them if they're good or not.
Was just making sure you were aware of what you were buying.
Lol thanks for looking out. It's just like everyone that's states all LEDs guys are into because they're so invested. I invested in solar to run my house and rooms running hid lights and still prefer LEDs lol. Not rolling in it but saved a lot when when we would deploy overseas.Was just making sure you were aware of what you were buying.
Sick of seeing people waste money, but seems you know what your buying.
Also seems your wife is rolling it in
Cheers, hope to see an update on it.
Gaotcha! I prefer LED as well regardless of HID.
