HortiBloom LED Grow Bar Light with Osram leds

[Airwalker16]

Have you heard of this, lights not as bright and not emitting as much heat as when you started? How do I prove its less dim? This sucks im going into flower.

You might have to send it back, but hopefully they'll work with you on that

What kind of driver does your light use, a 600 watt Inventronics model? Have you dimmed the light manually, or is it presumably running at the same wattage it was when you bought the light?

Do you have a Kill-a-watt meter you can plug the Hortibloom into to confirm its power draw?

I know

I def know its pulling 708 I tested today. I have it up all the way. It was running 705 now 708. I can additionally say that the light is suppose to be 650 but I upgraded LED not sure if that is why it is higher.

It's weird, the maximum power output is 680W, please dimm the light to 600-650w for days to see if the driver can recover its power, if the driver fail, we will send you new driver for your replacement, also please turn off the power for at least 4 hours everyday, waiting for your update

If a grower wanted to buy this light and run it 24 hours a day (say for their veg cycle or if they were growing autoflowers), would you advise against that?

24 HR light schedule is not only a waste of electricity, but it's pointless. Plants even in veg, will go to sleep regardless of dark or not. You can physically see it happen as they droop down and look almost wilted during 24hr light.

It's just not good for the lifespan of leds and ballast, and will raise luminance decay, but we still keep our warranty

Thanks for the novel information @Airwalker16 . While I do agree with you, my question was directed to HortiBloom .

i received last week megaplus from hortibloom it's a great light if they keep promise for the warranty and you dont have to send back parts in case they break its hard to beat. i think i say bye bye to kingbrite meiiju .

I have used a pair of the Hortibloom Luma B4 with citi 1212 cobs in 3k (97CRI) for just over a year.

One fan has a real hum to it so i took it apart and will be making a light that fits a tent better. The interior components are what they state. Meanwell driver and citi cobs.

Citi cobs grow great weed. The price at that time was 180USD which was very favorable. But i dont think you make very much at that price. I seem to remember building them was within 5 to 10 bucks per fixture.

They arrived in Canada in 5 days, Duty was payable but it was regular sales tax (13%) on the 180USD price.

The service was great. The new offerings look nice but my rooms are lit up. I will not invest for about 50000 hours...or so

I switched to 20/4 last week. Thanks for suggestion.

ive been running a 24cycle on my autofloweres im about 2weeks into flower would i be able to switch to a 18-6 or a 20-4 cycle without stressing the plant as im satrting to regret the 24hr cycle due to recent information and worry that im doing more harm than good lol

Ya, 20-4 then a week later cut the last 2 hrs off.

Any updates on this?

Any updates on this?

I’d like to know as well

 

[Onymous21]

I’ve been looking for grow journals with this light, but my search fu is not at an acceptable level it seems. Anyone have any links to grows with hortibloom mega?

 

[hybridway2]

I ordered 2 of the 650w top bin lights. So far have had nothing but issues since ordering. Shipping was fast but fedex lost packages (not manufacturer fault) then open up to see I have nothing close to the hardware they show in the instructions. Now I get to wait until tonight so I can try to talk to someone and get this figured out. The lights are impressive to look at though and hopefully they’ll be worth the headache

Damn, im suprised.
Hope it works out for you.

 

[HortiBloom]

Anyone got one of these? I just need to see how to hook the ground up and all that. Instructions show one thing but real life shows another. I just don’t want to mess up and burn my house down because I didn’t ground it correctly. Reached out to my rep on alibaba and got about zero help out of it. Frustrated is an understatement currently

Really sorry for the inconvenience, please check this and let me know if that help, thanks!

 

[Onymous21]

Figured it out. Gotta smoke more when I get stuck

 

[Onymous21]

Also now that I have it working, this mf is briiiiiiiight!!!!
