Hey guys, anyone check out those new 4Flow Cree bulbs? Any thoughts on them? I was getting some 2700k 9.5w Cree's for side lighting and was wondering if those new ones would be better. The package says its more omnidirectional, but a quick search said they may be a little less efficient. They...

^yup, Reflectix is a pretty common material for growing... pretty much the same diffusing pattern as hoods themselves... I was just mostly concerned with the materal being too close to the warm/hot bulbs (those Crees really don't get too hot, though) Ah well, should work out alright - thanks guys!

Ok awesome, that's what I thought, I just wanted to make sure! And thanks for that link, definitely have seen those, didn't even think of that.. maybe I could check those out and modify it. I don't have much room above the lights, though, I think I might just put reflectix on the ceiling above...

Hey guys, I built a light fixture out of 8 Cree bulbs, 9w. It's a small box frame (I'll have to post pics later). I wanted to put a curved piece of Reflectix (the bubble kind) over the whole frame but wasn't sure if it would pose a fire hazard. There isn't a lot of room between the bulbs and the...

Seems more like masking the smell than eliminating it.. would that not just smell like Pine-Sol and Weed after?

Yeah this is something I wasn't sure about, I swear I've seen conflicting reports, but I trust you more because, well, you've actually experimented with this. This is also great news because currently my screen is about 6" from the lights, so I can move that up to probably 1" below the lights...

Yup that is my exact plan.. starting with the bulbs, then I want to get into building my own panels. And yup, def will be LSTing.. perpetual scrog to be precise. I SHOULD have extra space in my flower chamber, though, which means I can move the partition between veg and flower up a bit, giving...

yeah my box is super small, only 2' x 1.5' footprint, and my veg doesn't have a lot of height so my options are limited currently. I need to wait until my first harvest to see if I can move the veg height up a bit (I would have to sacrifice flower height) What would you recommend for veg of...

Ah yeah I was gonna ask about that, too. I suppose if I did this I may as well make my own panel with them, BUT if I were to go that route I would just get some better Cree COBs and build my own. Definitely plan to do that one day down the road! Thanks captain! I think I just like making things...

Hey Captain, I had an idea I wanted to run by you. I've seen people disassemble these Cree bulbs and make their own flat panels out of the innards. I haven't really seen the insides of my bulbs yet, but what do you think of this idea: Say I take the glass domes off all the bulbs and unravel that...

Oh man I can't wait for my new LED box to go live! Pretty small box, I plan on doing a perpetual scrog with Northern Lights. 6' high x 2' x 1.5' box. Flower chamber is about 4' high, veg chamber about 2' high, little less. Flower chamber has an Area 51 RW-75 and I plan on adding maybe 4x 9.5w...

Thanks guys! I just wanted to make sure I was getting the biggest bang for my buck.. didn't want to buy a bulb with lesser diodes or anything like that. The more translucent ones are at a Home Depot that's closer to me anyway, so that's good :P So basically if they change the light components...

Yeah I don't think I am going to remove them, I'll make it easy on myself for now :P

Yeah I was thinking it might just be a package upgrade, but they are definitely different, at LEAST in the coating. That might be the only difference, though. If that is the case I will get the ones that are slightly more translucent.

Also not sure what the High CRI is, but these were just the basic 60w equivalent Daylight bulbs

I checked that, too, and both have the same serial number (BA19-08050OMF-12DE26-2U100) and UPC codes!

yeah, may as well leave the glass domes on for now.. maybe down the road I will take them off if I am unhappy with the veg growth, but I am sure it will be A-OK. Just weird that there are two different packages, but neither one are the old versions. Maybe just different packaging and maybe...

Here are the package fronts

They are both 5000k 9w bulbs, but I can post a photo of the front of it if ya need. Also check out the logo placement between the two, just noticed one was higher.
