    Is this even possible? 650w Meijiu Bar Light. 3.0 umol/J. LM301H and Osram. 1950 PPFD!!!!

    Didn't say they were fake, I said the numbers were bullshit. I didn't say they were bad or junk. But I hate companies that rig their data to sell more. Hell if these lights are good, a 2.5 would be a number to be proud of! Not many companies out there have hit above even 2.6 yet. And you...

    Those numbers are bullshit. Ask them for there sphere test data from the testing company. I'll garantee you that MAYBE they'd hit 2.5, which is still quite good. Hell even Fluence doesn't claim these numbers! HLG Tested some of Chill LED's lights in a sphere test, and showed that their number...

    Just starting to form fruits but the plants are the biggest and healthiest I've grown in the last three years! I'm hoping for a good crop! This was a week ago, they've grow a foot since then!

    Get the 4.85 wide, it's actually cheaper than the 3.5 and has the disapation capacity you need. I built a light with a 40" slab of this running 6 Cree 2530 @ 40 watts each and it worked fine If I remember correctly heat at temp at the heatsink was 90F

    actually, constant voltage drivers are used in series. Lets look at meanwell drivers. A 320H-C1400b driver is a constant Current driver. The voltages of the luminaires add up when run in series on this driver. This is why its important to read the data sheets for drivers. it can run up to 4...

    The thing most people fail to get if they are shooting for max efficiency is that drivers are at their most efficient when driven to 90-100% of their rating, while boards are most efficient at low power. So the ideal build for efficiency would be to run one driver to its max and enough boards...

    Lighting spiral of doubt

    Your current light gives you 40w/sq.ft. More than enough for a grow without CO2. As someone else said, go to a 2x4 and another HLG kit. Bang for the buck, you can't beat HLG, as they've got it all efficiency, spectrum, massive quantities of light and a fair price. Want a better light? you can...
