Thank you for the kinds words! These are the Gen 1 LED boards @Scuzzman is running, but they still hold their own. I like the Bubblegum! @Scuzzman is it cold over your way? The weather's been a bit weird over the ditch lately. Spring is poking its head out but we've had some very cold nights.

That's probably because we're one of the few companies that do a lot of in-house (proxy, commissioned) testing, so we know what works. Blue-based phosphors are great for radiant efficiency but can be detrimental to photosynthetic efficiency beyond a certain point. Far Red and UV are where it's...

We already offer those diodes as supplemental light in the form of Buddies, which are waterproof and more flexible than strips as they can be mounted pretty much anywhere. https://growlightsaustralia.com/product-category/buddies/ When you combine them with our 4K white Buddies you get a pretty...

Here you go. The PC Reds are a broad-spectrum red that have a ratio of 3:1 Red: Far Red

Nice mate! These are the original High Light boards and yes, they crank. How big is the room again?

Hey mate, to be honest I thought it was obvious that they were the same graph taken with different spectrometers. They look the same and it wasn't until someone else in this thread pointed it out that I realised they didn't know the difference. We could update the website and I agree with your...

I do hope you mean "watts" instead of volts :lol: Yes, we don't scrimp on anything. The heatsinks are heavy duty to match the boards.

Those 240 drivers will work on our boards if you want to try them before you buy the 320s or 480s. I know driver efficiency is a concern to you but there are usually bigger efficiency gains from driving LEDs at lower currents than loading up your drivers. I had a look at the plants in your...

Hi mate, I suggested 2x 320 drivers instead of the 480 drivers because 2x 320 drivers is very close to the Diablo configuration and 2x 480 drivers is a lot of power! As I mentioned, the footprint will be almost identical to the Diablo – which is why I suggested it. There are many ways to skin a...

Hey mate, I'm not sure if you're aware that our list prices are about 20% cheaper when ordering from outside Australia (no 10% sales tax) and when you apply the 10% RIU discount. 2x driverless 960mm double kits would be A$1113 plus $142 shipping = $1255. Get yourself a couple of HLG-320H-48A...

LEDs do occassionally fail, but more likely is the integrity of the solder under the LEDs. It is hard to tell from the photos but there could be one of a number of things going on. If you turn the board side-ways you may be able to see if any of the LEDs have lifted off their solder pads. This...

Have a look at the test report for that driver here https://www.meanwell.com/webapp/product/search.aspx?prod=HLG-600H&pdf=SExHLTYwMEgtMzAtUlBULlBERg==&a=2 The constant current region as tested was 20.7A. We've found that Mean Well drivers can vary a fair bit depending on the batch but they...

Hi mate, just out of curiosity were those boards ours? The description of how you adjusted your veg light is spot on. This is how we recommend setting the voltage on all Mean Well type constant voltage drivers. The only real issue is that LED voltage requirements decrease with heat. This is...

Well 20% is still not bad. I'm wondering if the plants were in different positions relative to the UV light? I'm guessing you haven't grown these before without UVB.

Hi mate, the link to the test results is broken for me so I can't see them. You are using UVB fluoro lights aren't you? If the test results were not what you expected then this may be a reflection of what we've been seeing with UVB. Namely that it increases cannabinoid production in plants but...

Ah thanks @Scuzzman but I didn't mean to start an argument! The only thing I can add to prawn's posts is that the reason why I posted two different spectrographs on the website is because most other manufacturers post similar hand-help graphs on theirs so it's something familiar and comparable...

Haha! I swear we didn't copy them! We have a lot more Far Red in our spectrum. But I will say in Black Dog's defence that they were leaders in spectrum way back when most LED grow lights were either blurples or plain whites. All those fans won't help efficiency but I believe the fixture was...

I would agree with both the answers below. I'm not sure about the afterglow, but there's also a pre-glow with HPS where it takes a few moments to heat up and starts to glow deep red and then orange before the light finally changes to its familiar pink-orange glow. I don't know how much...

I remember those! If I remember correctly those H strips produced some nice results. I like how the LEDs are spaced and the strips themselves are usually pretty cheap. Even though they are an older design they are still quite efficient due to the LED spacing. We've still got a bunch of them I've...

We're starting to sell a lot more of these since growers discovered they work. I'm not sure how you've tried to use them, but as a cheap and flexible source of sidelighting they do just what they advertise by turing larf into trimmable bud. They don't grow donkey dicks, that's not their airm...
