Thoughts?

Wouldn't wanna do a full run with it but could be good for moms and abit of veg?

LM281B+ diodes are substantially less efficient than LM301 diodes.

 

[Knowledgeplague]

What we saying is unless you wanna deal with adding supplementary lighting with it just get a good light with proper rating and review and you won't regret it

 

[Horselover fat]

Yeah, they're lying about their specs. Wouldn't trust them.

 

[PSUAGRO.]

Nope

It's a cheap 100 watt light. Don't waste your money. You'd be much better off with a T5 fixture.

How substantial? like it wont be bright?

 

[ounevinsmoke]

What specifically is a lie?

 

[PJ Diaz]

Something like 165 lumens per watt for those diodes vs 220 lumens per watt for LM301 diodes.

 

[PJ Diaz]

What specifically is a lie?

A non-truth.

I don’t see how those diodes could possibly hit the 2.7 umol /joule they claim.

Amazon.com: VIPARSPECTRA L 600W LED Grow Light 2x2ft Dimmable Full Spectrum Grow Light with 300 LEDs for Hydroponic Indoor Plants Seeding Veg and Bloom Commercial Growing Lights Four for 4x4 Grow Tent: Garden & Outdoor

Same light pretty much, different brand

Whats your best guestimate of what those diodes will hit?

2.3 with a high quality driver, but less than that with whatever crappy driver they have in there.

Haha I can live with 2.3. Its 60 bucks with a 2 year warranty. Ill use it to supplement. Its a nice POS

But you won’t get 2.3 with that driver. Maybe 2.2 if your lucky. Still more efficient than a small hps.

 

[Hot Diggity Sog]

I don't understand. Why wouldn't you just spend a little bit more and get a Quantum Board and a Meanwell Driver?

 

[CTGrown203]

If ur gonna go with a cheaper light like that I suggest atleast like a spyder farmer it’s atleast lm301b or h diodes
