thanks..please don't say qb..every china company uses the letters

whether they copied nextlight or anyone or not ..

they did invent the word QB and it should remain theirs

i bought a cheaply made par meter "hydrowhatever "it cagged out on me..so that sucked..i have a lux meter..

i forget what it was..i run the panel grid of 9 6n 22" panels @600 w..about 6" away..

i was into that measuring stuff at first..i just grow weed now

this is from 2 linear mounted 6 "x 22" km[joke] boards at320 watts with a muffin fan on each one i run them about foot away

its not even warm

ihave the same two panel 320 w on dual heatsinks..theywork good
ifind spending dough on heatsinks counter productive vs adding more diodes run soft

again i am here to learn..i am an albeit fit 70 yr old woodstock relic

i listen to all advice

i had to lose some brain cells along the way

the 9 panels w at 75 w each barely get warm ..i do have some air movement..


5000 k plant not finished..very dense sticky colourful

You know better than me OMS.
I was just thinking the Disco Boards I have and the Growgreen boards diodes could have been spread better on a larger board for better heat management .
Heatsinks aren't easy to come by so a board that doesn't need one is a great bonus.
And that's why those FOTOPs are good.

Im suspecting the FoTops go in some light on the market but ive never figured out which one.

I dont know how this IP thing work. Ive seen people talking about contracts with the alibubbers, stating they cant make a copy of the light. But is that on the whole light? Can they make more circuit boards and just do versions?Dunno. But what is clear is that they will copy, allways.

NextLight Mega perhaps?

No, I opted for the 561c 800 boards. If I were to do it again I'd go with the 960... But then again I wouldn't do it again as I would just get the samsung strips instead for more even spread and allow for some even dist. reds and blues.

Also I think strips wont get as hot. My growspace is pushing 31°C with doors closed.

Wow, they're impressive. You think it's a better CCT for flower than 3000?

Not sure the 3000k suits me to be truthful.
I find my plants to be squat with not much stretch in flower under 3000k but then I'm running indicas. And they get loads of light.
Ill know better this time as I've raised the fixture right up and I'll flip them shortly.
Must be photons first then spectrum as @OLD MOTHER SATIVA has shown in the above pictures :lol:
