Lil blast from the led past

[Dividedsky]

I have a few of these area 51 leds.. going to use them for my cloning rack since I'm switching everything out to led, these werent great lights but figured will be fine for small just rooted and rooting cuts. Getting rid of all my t5 veg lights, they just cost too much to run now with electric prices soaring. Got 6 growers choice 720watters leds for flower, using 1- 720w growers choice cranked down in my 5x5 veg tent and a volt 440w led for my 4x4 veg space. Does anyone know what diodes where used in the area 51 leds?

Crees. I got a pair of the RW-75s sitting on a shelf. I use one during spring in a small tent to pre-veg plants that are going into the backyard.

Older tech, but still great little lights.

Ya thought it was crees, my rooted clones seem to be fine underneath the rw-150, pretty sure the rw 150 only uses 75w in veg mode. So I have another rw-150 and you can see the rw-75 in this pic on the 2nd shelf below. Got to clean that shelf, it's a fucking mess, I just have so much grow equipment from over the years. So 2 rw-150 and 1 rw-75 in veg mode would be enough to power a 3' x 3' veg space right?

I took the drivers out of my old lights and paired them to strips and cobs. This light draws just over 50 watts and uses just one of the four drivers from an old Apollo blurple.

Nice dude ya I'm trying to save money where I can, I was previously using close to 1800 to over 2000 watts in t5 for veg with all my veg areas cranking. For the t5's I had-16 bulbs in a 5x5, 12 bulbs in a 4x4 and 8 bulbs on the cloning rack. That much wattage of t5 cranking for 18 hrs a day is just not economical or sustainable with electric prices where they are at around me.

I still have 2 RW-75's, XGS-190 and another light that Dawg was kind enough to gift me after I lost everything in 2012. I think it was a SGS-160?
They're all packed away in their original packing boxes...

Ya packed away in boxes are probably where most of these area 51 leds lights are nowadays, the area 51 led tech seems almost ancient these days. These things were fucking expensive for what they are back in the day as well.
