All in good time, crustacean...yep i’d say 4 bds per 4x4 would do the average light addict...will do some mapping...

@Steakbomb already requested it on another thread....

I hope you have a second diode order in....
Drumroll please...

At 24”, per pair:

670w for 8 bds

4x4

LMAO, 1000ppfd @ 24”, for less than 700W (42w/sq ft)....on a single circuit.

Better get your orders in boy & girls....only a few boards left from the initial run....

(Btw: i have no stake in this production...i paid for 6 of my 8 boards, another grower [not prawn] bought me 2 bds... just an early adopter growbud touting a great guy and his prod.)

That's pretty good. Should be quite even coverage, too.

Calculating a 4x 4' tent has 1,2x 1,2m or 1,44m² that's ~465w per m². So 1010μMol/s/m² means an efficiency of 2,17μMol/J at the measuring spot already.(without driver loss, with 95% efficient driver it would be still 2,06).

Hopefully we'll soon see some genio tests. As far as I know it should not take too long..
When you reduce the distance even more let say to ~16", which btw should still result in +80% uniformity, you should get +1000μMol/s/m² with less than 600w ... maybe even less than 550w. Efficiency should be even better that that.

Lookin forward to seeing that german engineering,. What’s your eta on the new fixtures?

Actually that is really quite impressive considering the CRi rating, I know I am a 96Elite fanboy but I just checked some of my notes running 6 x 96s at 24" to get 1000ppfd required them to run at 150w each = 900w total in a 4 x 4 and I am running at 1050w in my 4.5 x 4.5. Plus there are still hotspots because of the layout / spacing. Can't wait to put my HighRed boards in next month....... Well done Prawn, hopefully the spectrum gives an added bonus to yield, the high CRi shaves a bit of flower time and its a win win win all round

OK, I'll bite. Here's a taster of what's in the mail.

High Lights left vs HLG QB324 V1. We've just started this one.

Here's what the QB324s were producing prior to the new light and plants going in. Chimera's Mental Floss. Nice strain.

High Lights vs QB324s
View attachment 4318877


Two High Lights running wired in parallel to a HLG-320H-48A driver: 50V@6.9A for 345W to the boards. The QB324s are running just under 400W off a 480-2100C driver. We may bump the High Lights to 400W, to, but so far PAR mapping is showing similar PPFD (950 at 18") for both lights at those wattages.

CRI95 3000K Spectrum. Peaks at 621nm with strong 660nm red and 730nm far red. Added UV 410nm at the other end.

Methinks you need another grow chamber...so you can do a smackdown of your own...

Yes, it is. I was hoping to get a bit more data before I made an official announcement, but Ive also been a bit slack over Easter - harvesting, making and smoking a lot of hash, and trying to fix my errant vehicles (not necessarily in that order).

I guess I have no excuses now :(
Given that list, i bet you could come up with more....

Hey OG, I think I fucked up, can you check with Prawn to see if he has any spare boards I can cut up, there is still room for a few more diodes on my "Vesuvius" heat sinks, 80mm gap between sinks and 80mm between sinks and tent, fuck I am wasting space cuz. Now where's the Bavarian beer swilling monster to show us what he has?
