Oh hell yes! Even my 3 board 330w HLG r-spec will cook leaves if it's too close. My photone app reports "MAX" (above 3000 ppfd) at 12" with full power, and no the plants did not like it that hot either. That's a beautiful light, wish I had the space for it.




I'm a full 20" from the canopy and I'm running at lowest power ~30%. Also last week of veg, don't want to hit them with 1500+ ppfd just yet.
Looks like 5 dead diodes after 3.5 years and honestly that happened when I was running at full stregnth to see what the plants would do. Neither the plants nor the light liked being turned all the way up.

Thank you, these are new strains to me, one is Ice Cream Cake and the other 2 are Sweet and Sour, both from American breeders. I have fallen in love with HLG. My first choice was to custom build a light from RapidLED.com but when my HPS died I was mid flower and didn't have time to wait on mail order so had to get directly from the hydroponics store locally.

Mostly getting a picture of the light for ya. I got the light around the beginning of 2019 my old light was a 450w HPS. It took a bit of a learning curve but this light has consistantly yielded at least 15% more than my old HPS and on the high end I yielded exacly 1g short of a pound in my tiny 6 square feet. 0.55 m2, under the HPS my highest yield was 10oz.

I could absolutely go with 1 less board and about 100w less, but I don't see why I would.. I just need a bigger space and then more lights.

Ya, I'm up. Munchies fridge clean out .
Italian hot sausage, some hamburger, couple tomatoes I knew had to go, oregano, basil, a red pepper that needed sacrificing, fresh thyme picked outside under the moon, and a half a purple onion. Put in tortillas with sour cream and Red Hot .
