LePower Amazon Veg COB

[Underground Scientist]

I did an update comparing Early Veg Cab's beginning of the test vs Day 6. It's Day 12, so here's the latest Peek:



There's some training going on, and it's starting to get crowded.

Disappointed, the SSG Bloom lights are Not Corded...Dammit.

Ehh not that hard to wire my friend

 

[Underground Scientist]

No, I gotta check out what is what, no paperwork at all. One yellow, one blue, one brown. Cord off an old booster fan is white/black/green, standard hot, negative, ground

 

[Rolla J]

Blue to white neutral
Brown to black 120Volt
Yellow to green wire or to grounding screw

 

[Rolla J]

Whala buddy. Cant wait to check out the light!

 

[Underground Scientist]

Blue to Black, Brown to White

 

[Rolla J]

Blue to Black, Brown to White

I was on the Amazon site for that light in the questions and that was the answer to the question

 

[Rolla J]

If u wana test it make sure. use it on a power strip with a on n off switch

 

[Underground Scientist]

I couldn't help myself:



100w 3000k-3500k, 1 plant Bloom test. Muffin fan intake/exhaust in a 1'x2', with a 6" clip circulation fan. This is a 4 1/2 week SkunkBerry1 Clone, with training restraints at the time of bloom. This test does not include a transplant.

Is that that ssg bloom light? Has a nice spectrum. What was the wiring lol

Yes, SSG Bloom Light. It was Brown to White, Blue to Black, Yellow w/Green Stripe to Green.

Good to know! What are your first impressions of that light besides the wiring lol

There's enough power for the space, obvious yellowish hue. This is at 50w/sf which is plenty. 40 would work, but who knows the efficiency, so a little extra power/sf could be a good buffer.

Great investment for that space. That light should do plenty good

Nice, they work! And they deliver a cheap aluminum housing with good cooling capabillities.
The housings are nice and flat and it would be easy to mount them on a frame to built a 3x2 or 4x2 light with 50w floodlights
Nice thing to know about these floodlights, you can change the build-in generic COB's(90-100lm/w) with any other 36v COB's like Vero18/29 or Citizen CLU048-1212(150lm/w).
The drivers inside are usually 38v drivers with 300mA(10w), 600mA(20w), 900mA(30w), 1,5A(50w) and 3A(100w). 3A driver needs sometimes parallel wiring of the two 50w COB's, but they are also available with one 100w COB. Ebay is also a cheap source and full with this types of floodlights. From 10w wallwasher - up to 300w tunnel floodlights.
Case Temps should be lower because of the increased effiency of quality COB's but the aluminum cases are big enough to stay cool to touch even with a bit more total power draw.
I would remove the 5mm thick glas protector shields to get even more light out of these little bastards. I'm sure they swallow more than 3-5%.

I will probably take the glass out. It's caulked/adhered into it pretty good though.

So...About Day 5 on the 100w Bloom SSG COB (3000-3500k) SkunkBerry1 Clone. A little warm in here... muffin fans

Day 5:



Start:

 

[Underground Scientist]

Check Out the Initiator Housing (10w) Reflectorized (non hammered surface) $7.79 ea Plug N Play, Tall Heatsink Shroud. She only drives 8w, so probably a small driver. It's not really an issue considering 1w/sf of Initiator light is needed. At 1.5w/sf, it should be plenty powerful enough. 20w in a 3x5, mounted high, at opposite ends of the box. 10 min 660 at wakeup before lights on, and 10 min 730 at go to sleep time after lights off.
