Seems like it's hard to avoid arguments with some people on this forum ... So many people acting like kids ..
I usually try to stick to posts that contribute in some way, this is probably my last reply to you on this subject.
We can agree to disagree, or something, i guess ..
so here it goes :
I never said china was backyard and rocks, or whatever words your putting in my mouth ...
I'll go even further, whether chinese, US, japanese, french or german company, whoever .. wouldn't be able to copy fast enough to offer the same product at same time, it would be a constant catch up game ... and most importantly in our world => financially not viable.
Ok, sure, you're in business, we're not...
You know
so much shit, we don't ...
(Funny, you not only know so much shit, you also know better than us what shit we're ignorant about ! WAOUW !)
Still, took you a whole month to understand the advantage of running cobs at a higher efficiency vs short term $$ savings ... pretty slow for a "KnowItAll" guy if you ask me.
There it is, in black and white, what I took a while to grasp. I was all for 1.4a driving current, but I saw my light.
Between .7 and 1.4a, you pay an extra $1.77/wPar to run low current,
But you gain slightly over 7% in efficiency. !!!! And you get ~12% more flux density.
You apply that extra $1.77 one time. And you get 7% per hour in Utility savings.
It won't take long, at all, until it pays for itself. And you have a good light for 50K hours.
And in 50K hours, you pay for the entire rig in energy savings over HPS.
Nowwwww he gets it.... thank GAWD
EDIT : LOL : This is coming from a guy who still doesn't know how to use an EDIT button, and who regularly posts 3 to 4 posts in a row.
You maybe a "Doer", you think you're a "Knower", but I'll tell you, you're definitely a Joker
:
You seem to have post envy. Very common.
Learning, teaching, paying forward, assaulting myths is only mildly associated with post count.
Whereas your throw away comment for trolling is only for your post count and completely useless otherwise. Funny guy. Lean to type 60 WPM?
