They could probably stand to spend a little bit of it on better components and properly upgraded configuration. Seems like they could probably afford it. I guess barbecues take precedence. Seriously, though, don't stock Mars. They're practically Happy Meal toys.
and couldn't talk to him into doing a budget line.
I was foolish enough to buy a set of 4x 600w mars hydro in an attempt to get my new grow room going, long story short, I used two to veg for aprox a month & half. It literally stopped working.I'l check out ViparSpectra. I have a customer who owns a LED company but he retrofits commercial green houses and his systems are not cheap
Visible light is radiant heat. Of course they produce radiant heat.
It's actually true. There is no breaking the first law.
From this quote, it's clear you're confusing heat with temperature.
It doesn't break the first law. And no I didn't. I was stating what temperature it left my room. I can touch the heat sink and all around the emitter with no issue.
It certainty does. If less energy comes out than you put in, it means energy was not conserved. The energy going in certainly doesn't cause the LEDs to accelerate, so where do you think that energy is going? (the void?)
You are seriously ridiculous. Read my last post. HPS creates heat using its energy because it has particles to excite. COBs put all their energy into electroluminescence which does not use heat to create light, therefore the First Law is not broken. You need to study more. I suggest you start with the difference between electroluminescence and incandescence before you make yourself look even more foolish.
Again, it's clear you're confusing temperature with heat. Heat is a measure of energy. Power is the rate of energy over a period of time. Temperature is the average kinetic energy of the molecules that make up a compound. An object being hotter or colder does not tell you the rate of energy transfer. For that, you'd also need to know the surface area of the object, the temperature of the cold body it's in contact with, and resistance of the interface between the 2 bodies. At higher temperatures, black body radiation also becomes a factor. Temperature is not power.
You keep saying that, but it doesn't matter. If the lamp consumes the same amount of energy per second, it outputs the same amount of energy per second. 100W go in, 100W come out. There is no void.
Again, go study incandescence vs. electroluminescence. See what you find. I'll bet upon reading the difference, you will find you are completely wrong. Like I said, HIDs put energy into creating heat to create light, as HPS and MH use excited gas and particles to create light. Electroluminescence does not use heat to create light. It is simply the product of an arc of electricity traveling over a phosphor chip face. It does not heat the chip to create light like HIDs do.
I use the Lowes Sylvanias to. 120-150 w equals using 15-17w w/ nice focused lenses. Use them in veg & I added them above my SunCloak last run. Pretty good lil light. 1-2 per plant @ 5k vegging 6" Potts works awesome.
im not kidding, theyre great. great value n great results so far, i have been vegging w em over a year
That's actually bad ass.
