Just stop with all this making sense. I agree there has been alot of LEDs that didn't live up to the hype but that has changed. As I've said earlier anyone doubting build/buy 1 cree cob light that we here suggest and see for yourself. Then come back here and thank us for the tips. :)
when I walk into a maximum yield show and sunlight, hydrofarm,bwgs and or any other TOP supplier is pushing the same type of led units. THEN, you may have reached stardom.. UNTIL then, it's still just a cool living room lamp

You mean a cool higbay/stadium light*
CXB3590s/3070s aren't living room lights.

lol at thinking they push what grows the best as opposed to what makes them the most money. they cant mark up the cobs and drivers like they do their custy gear because those markets are already mature and established.

theres hope yet. i think you can duplicate the performance of your HPS by taking a 2000K COB and blocking out a good chunk of the LES with a sharpie

ALL the grow companies are copying DE, WHY?
Because lazy ass stoner run companies don't push the envelope. Innovators do.

DE tech is close to a decade old. Companies are hoping to get one last hoorah out of HID lighting before it's truly dead. Including the awful wholesale companies run by stoner idiots like Hydrofarm.

How long did it take Hydrofarm to copy the 315 LEC design? Almost 3 years after Sunlight Supply released theirs? They JUST came out with the their version of DE like last year.

Unfortunately most people think of these companies as having the latest and greatest, but most of what these companies sell is cheap
Chinese knock-off shit. They wait for something to happen and then make a move.

What's the next step after DE? Surely you see how quickly technology is progressing making yesterday's tech obsolete.

So what's gonna be the new best tech??

Don't be scared Chuck, let's have ourselves a debate.
there is nothing to debate. You guys have the same lame answers for YEARS. in a year when some new led type light comes out, you will abandon the current stuff(just like blurples) then start spewing crap about how they are as good as what I am using. you will always have to compare to HPS.

AGAIN, you have no leg to stand on, so you attack me personally, LMK when your balls drop, then we can talk like MEN.
So tell me. What makes HID bulbs(of what ever flavor) better than cobs? I'd like for you to explain to me in detailed scientific terms what qualities that HID lighting has that the current generation of CXB chips from CREE does not.

You're an authority on the subject. So it should be no issue.

He doesn't like the fact that high wattage Cree panels take up too much horizontal space.

here is your SCIENTIFIC detail. EVERYONE, including me, is growing more/better weed with DE, so much so, that EVERYONE in the industry is copying it. Scientific enough for you?
