538 is the amount leaving the wall, heat takes energy to create so that's energy that doesn't get put to light.. make better sense like that?

Yup,i appreciate your usefull information dude

.. but this does not exist in the other led lights?..it does..so what is the difference bettween vipar and other led lights when compare same TRUE watts and both full spectrum?..think about it.

with diy and strips you can probably spend 1$/watt

Under $1.00 watt with bridgelux eb strips.....

Efficiency

what retard made this list ??? Lmfao !

Buds.on.a.budget · Nov 6, 2018

That list is worthless

Geeze i have a reflector 48 cheap....

they will grow bud but if you can get more than 3 oz you are a rockstar (and why didn't you run a 200 watt vero and get 8+ oz)

White light is full spectrum. Blurple lights like vipar use old, inefficient diodes. For a given amount of power, they produce less light, about half of what the good efficient diodes produce.

Forget "full spectrum", all you need is white light at 3000k to 4000k color temperature. All the watts are converted to heat. The heat produced by all lights is directly proportional to the power, 1 watt = 3.14 BTU. A more efficient light puts less heat into the heatsink and produces more light, but that light is converted into heat when it hits a surface. You feel it when a bright light hits your skin.

In other words, both lights would make exactly the same amount of heat, but the Quantum Board would make more light.

How much more light ? and would the footprint be as good for spending in the same price range ? I keep hearing how awesome qb's are but i want to know the weaknesses of them also

Retardid_greenthumb · Nov 11, 2018

Im thinking of having a true full spec garden. What i mean by that is a 8x8 with combination of hps , cmh , led , qb and cob... How could they not love that mix lol

Retardid_greenthumb · Nov 11, 2018

I can say using my vipar with hps has preformed so damn well im on cloud 9. But im gonna be trying some new mixes

Retardid_greenthumb · Nov 11, 2018

Green crack. She spent most of her flowwer cycle under the v900 and not getting much hps

If you are comparing them to vipar there are no weaknesses if your comparing to hps the QB put out more light per watt so if you need extra heat QB aren't the best haha

Finally a real informative and scientific answer. Thank you dude!

U gonna buy a vipar ?

Here's what I'm working with
5 -5gal active aqua root spa buckets
2 -viparspectra ds350
1 -czjun gl-x5
5 -gorilla glue clones

Nice that will probably produce enough for your personal stash if your a good grower

If you need more heat you could always run some Vero C's really hard.

I grew this with the 2x "350w" dimmable viparspectra, added a "1500w" "sunshine spectrum" cob to the mix, it's totally China Generic. I'll uncase it later and look at post the guts.
