Glass on LEDs?

.

My Blackdog 1000 watt light comes without glass, just don't touch the LEDs.

Are the LEDs protected by a lens?

Hey bud, nobody is being down on you for your lights, just curious about the giant pile of them. I for one would be thrilled to have a manufacturer sending me free shit to try out so good on you. As I said in my posts to you, they will be fine to run. As a matter of fact they will likely perform a slight bit better without the glass between the led's and the plants. The glass is just there to seal off the led's from dust, dirt and buildup.

I'm fixing them. 1 left to fix. Then I have 7 perfect condition 110W blurples. Yayyyy lmao

Yessir

The No Veg and No Bloom might be very easily repaired. Could be something as simple as a switch or bad solder joint.
If you have a meter I would poke through it and check the continuity.

I will be checking the lights with a switch connection issue and will be fixing them when I can. Thank you man

I'm not a blurple fan, but you've got the hookups. I'd have fun fixing them too. I like that kinda shit. Free shit is always good.

I think it was originally ~ 255 watts but I wired all the strings to one driver for ~ 30 watts. Running well for over 2 years! Lol

Guys. I am affiliated/sponsored by Giixer. The owner over in China has sent me quite a few brand new lights. He offered to send me some returns he had at an amazon warehouse. 5 of them are brand new still. 2 of them have broken glass and work 100%. 1 is completely fucked.

My questions were

Is it okay to run them without the glass panel?
What is the purpose of the glass panel?

The 3 lights that were at the bottom of the box got the glass shattered. These were 100% free and useless to the manufacturer I assume. Thats why they were offered to me.

Thank you for your kind replies.

Why not ask the guy that sent the lights to you?

Hey guys, my COB LED from HortiBloom came today. There is an extra set of lenses.. They're flat.. the ones already on the light are bubble shaped.

Whats the deal? Do the bubble lenses give more coverage? And the flat give better penetration?

Also, I have 7 perfect condition blurples. Fixed the glass on 2 of them. I have 3 more. 1 has no glass the other two have glass. Only problem w the 3 others is one switch doesn't work on each light. So when I have time ill be trying to fix those as well. Hopefully I can fix them so I can give them away. (Not the one with no glass though)
