Doesn't seem too professional round here...

Im not a pro, but I plugged in 5 3590's about an hour ago and i just about shit my self. My wife jumped back a good 2 feet cuz of what she saw. Im pretty sure I'm about to eat my fucking words about everything bad I've said about leds. Hope this helps.

ha ha, now ya get it. cool! love to see a pic of your new light.

I dont know if these have been discussed in this thread. Its just to big to know. These are suppose to be the next big thing in LED lighting. You guys can check them out and decide for yourself.

I have a feeling that's how I'm gonna feel when I get my 2 maximizers plugged in next week

Not a light yet, but i had to see what the fuck everyone was talking about. So i went and got 15 of these. So now ill just get some angle or sheeting and see what the fuck. So funny how bright they are. I swear the picture doesn't even show how bright it is, you know that though.

I legit laughed at this.

Apache Tech at200 50 degree lens white & red 3/2

Vs.

Amare Tech SE250

3x3 tent

Which would you choose for best optimal grow&bloom

I was thinking of doing that side by side. But damn, those apaches are serious coin.
I feel this would resolve allot of doubts & questions about both comp.
IMO, these are THE two top lights & would make for an epic comparison.

That's awesome. Welcome to the.....bright side. That's timber kits right? Congrats bro!

I haven't even needed mine at full power in veg.

Could tell by the color coded wires? It's a great kit and priced real well. 3590's are bright lights. The new pro-4 has the same with monos. That's gonna be epic

Hi guys,
Built a COB aluminium angle frame. Does the frame need to be EARTHED if the driver is 3 meters away?

Yes. It is always a good idea to earth your ground. Case and home if you can

I've ran the se220 and the at200 r2, honestly I would have to give amare the slight edge on yield.

Apache wins on quality for me,hands down. That's just my experience with those 2 lights.

What footprint did you use them in ? I have never seen a SE220 unfortunately

Oh for sure, I may not be able to get either at the moment, but looking to run a test with these two by the end or beginning of new year.

In reality there isn't a way to do a fair comparison...

The at200 is approx. 170watt draw, the at600 is close to 700watts I've been told. Yes the amare had the slight edge in yield it seemed but it also pulls 50 more watts from the wall so heh...

that doesn't make it "better". try dividing the yield by wall watts and then compare.

I didn't say it was better now did I?

It was simply an observation. There's a reason im using the at200 and not the amare.

no you did not!

But if you showed it others would have an easier time understanding.

If you guys notice I don't respond to many of the NG' s that attempt to instigate a reaction outta me, it's because I have them on ignore.
They twist words & turn your quotes into their own meanings to cause problems & spread more misinformation.
Since I e done this, my time here is much more pleasant.
I like how a calculator is their determining factor as to how an led configuration is an HPS killer. LMFOA! Perfect example of what I'm talking about.
Who made these wrong spread-sheets anyways? Last one I saw showed a 1200 DE barely covering a 5'x5'. They are giving false info about HPS. Grow a side by side then apply your findings to a spread-sheet. Don't just calculate it. Geeze! Sounds like some of the companies her who don't even use a light meter to determine PPFD. Just math equations. Then they sell you those equations so you can plan your lay-out.
If one was to use an actual light meter, I bet it would be a whole different story. Never #'s at different heights either. Wtf. I don't trust any of it.

And now he is just randomly spewing thoughts and insulting people just in case they are talking to him. Hope to baby Jesus I made the ignore list. Early Christmas.

We are only on Ignore, when we CAN"T read your malcontent. Nice try though.
