I got absolutely nothing. Their website has two other lights that are definitely not this light.

I kinda feel like the guys making this light are working with the factory over in Hong Kong, trying out new shits and see what works... and this is the latest???

But for real... it's all speculation. The only thing I know about it is the 3w rating for each bulb thingy. That's each of those 25 little squares.

I asked the guy to send me all the info he has on them, so I could pass along. He should get back to me someday.

And yeah bassman... it's gonna be that pink/ purple glowing color. Most LED grows you watch the pics are all like that. I'm going to try to take pics with flouros on... so you can see what things actually look like.

I saw a vid linked to (the 600 I believe) where a professional grow in Colorado had the pink/purple flowering room, so I assume they wouldnt use it if it didnt work.
They also had them hooked to individual IP addresses and could get info from plant response and do some algorithm to determine lumen and spectrum changes or something.
Awesome stuff really!

hey everybody! Long time no see longest time i've been away from RIU in a while as well... but building back up starting today and looking at going vertical. I got a 1K and a 600w... going to run them vertically one above the other...

how much vertical height will each cover?
how far to keep a screen away from each (will have to angle it so closer to 600w and farther from 1k)
matter which is on top or bottom?
how far away from each other vertically?
cooltube or freeballin?

thanks in advance!

I have just used the standard principle that it will cover a 1m footprint. so 2 verticals can be run in anything from 2-3metres (10 feet for you guys over the pond). There is some negative press for cooltubes but for me they work well in my set up and it enables me to manage temps, plus it's quite tight in my cab so the plants don't get messed up being to close to an open bare bulb. I think if you have more space or can even set up a vertical mover like whodatnation did then you can run bare buld in a closer space. If you are perhaps worried about venting out extremely hot air then going bare bulb is probably better (a consideration for agencies that looks for heat exhausts to find out where growers are). It will not matter which is at the top or bottom imo. Keeping the principle that the footprint will be 1 metre (3 feet) try and keep the bulds at least 3-4 feet apart as light waves cancel each other so you don't want to much crossover of light waves coming from your 2 light sources. Just some advice from things I have discovered in my vertical set up. Good luck and enjoy the journey into the land of vertical plant growing.

What up reeeeef. Where you been man? Just off RIU? You see any pics of my baby I had back in Aug? She's a cutey. Glad to see you, and thanks for stopping by the journal upon your return. So now, I got some answers.

I have run a 1k so I know that more than the 6. Depending on how wide your space around the bulb is, the 1k should cover at least 3 feet of good strong light. I'd say 4' for the 1k, and 3' for the 6 would be a good estimate.

Distance I would say a 3' radius for the 1k, and a 2' radius with the 600. Not sure if you got that much room, but that would work well I think. With this distance it's really a matter of balancing the screen surface area vs light intensity. You could go closer or further than my suggestions and be alright, it's really a balancing act. Also depends if you go bare bulb or not. I would think my suggestions would be for bare bulb, that would be a maximum for cool tube lights for me.

Doesn't matter what's on top... I don't think you can go wrong... BUT I think the stronger one up top is best. In my head the plants are always going to be a little bottom heavy for plant matter, and bud heavy up top. With the 1k up top it will be hitting the tops of the plants, and closer to the tops of the lower plants if you are going to do multi level. Plus it will be shining down on what's below. The light on the bottom will shine up, but not with the same direct angle (i'd draw a picture, but I'm lazy and don't think it would make sense anyways). I actually feel like the more I talk about it the more suspiscious of my reasons I am... but yeah, I think 1k up top. 600 below. I also think this because of heat. Either cool tubed or not, the 1k below would add a lot of heat at the bottom of the space to climb higher to escape. The 600 below is cooler to add to the hotter 1k up above.

Distance apart, if they were to cover 4' and 3', split the difference so 3.5' apart.

And cooltube is really dependent on space and temps. If you have enough space to get them away from the bulb, and you don't have super high temps, then bare bulb it by all means. If it doesn't work, then cooltubes.

:) Hope that helps.

I found bare bulb much harder to cool than a tube (the room that is). If you want it easiest Id setup with a tube first and if your temps are so awesome and forgivable then try the bare bulb because I do feel the tube glass does block an amount of light.

AND to elaborate a little more... a 400cfm fan pulling through a cool tube and a 400cfm fan pulling from a room do not an equal cooling make... Like that verbiage? :)

Got no idea what that means lol





I agree with allot of what was said by everyone. Id go 1k up top because of heat, cool tube it if you need to, bare bulb it if you can.

Your canopy diameter is very much a balancing act. My cage is 3f dia, but my canopy closed in much closer than that. Next grow Im sticking most growth to the cage.
