I guess I'm not seeing the advantage. I'd like to hear your reasoning?High power cob chips like these will make DIY so much cheaper for moi
What did you figure for efficiency at 320 watts?It can be run up to 600, but nominal and test rating is at 320 watts.
Thats just it; four point sources are always going to be better than one big one in terms of even light distribution.What did you figure for efficiency at 320 watts?
Advantage of running one 320 vs let's say 4 75 watt chips?
Coverage?
That's a matter of scale though. 4 75's would be better in a 3x3 or close to it. Then four 320's would be better in let's say a warehouse? Or would it?Thats just it; four point sources are always going to be better than one big one in terms of even light distribution.
I'm putting part of this to the test, by building a large array of COBs running at fifty watts apiece. My theory is that more sources of light makes for better light distribution across the canopy and therefore better yields and more consistent quality.That's a matter of scale though. 4 75's would be better in a 3x3 or close to it.

I am thinking on a bigger scale. Just because my first lights can run at 320 watts doesn't mean that they have to be ran that high. I am going to run 2 320 watts 18" apart in an agrotech reflector, just to see. The plants I have under a 500 watt stadium light with the same hood has much better bottom growth than under my Vero 29s @ 25 watts or 50 watts. Since I am paying the same for the Luna 300 and the CLU550, they may eventually be ran around 150 watts. I don't know yet. The one I am vegging with is turned down to 230 watts at the moment. Why not 320 watt units in a green house hooked to a light sensor to dim when needed.
Hi! We like to under drive COB chips to boost efficiency, so likely the burning question on everyone's mind is what the current droop curve looks like for this chip, especially below 50% of rated output?Hello There! This is Alex from Flip Chip Opto.
Let me know if there is any technical questions I may be able to answer!
