I must say that is VERY SICK!!! I've always wanted to DIY a LED anyway. I knew about the Heat sinks you have to have. Now i just need to learn how to wire it all up ^_^... anyone.... anyone....
Well some interesting shit is coming out very soon, so this is what I've heard so far:
My boy Ryan at led star (china) says the are releasing an upgraded version of the Iris line(penetrator look) with the platinum series.... It will be based on a large floodlight mount with passive cooling(no fans) and have a remote dimmable driver.....each led will have an aluminum reflector instead of secondary lenses....sounds good
Procryon led is releasing a 300w upgraded model / completely new design and top grade everything(big $$$).....only person that said anything about it brings up actual patents on this panel and that it will be a game-changer....lol everyone says that crap.......
Hydrogrow led will not release their Omni panel at all......instead they are upgrading everything again and adding dimmable and custom spec dials to the entire line up.....BIG surprise NOT...
CLW is dumping old stock for new shit supposedly( end of the world sale/20% off).....so they probably think it's not the end of the world then....may hit 35% off by december....this I kinda don't believe but that what some kid whose "friend" works there said ..Ha..
well that's all I got.........Only Ryan's info is 100% the rest are just rumors so far......will see....lots of cool led panels coming our way..
do you have a link to the original Iris light??
http://led-star.en.alibaba.com/..............scroll down IRIS lights on the left........the new one should be up this week
I just dealt with Bysen and I purchased the Helios instead of the penetrator pro. I have a penetrator and wanted to test a diffrent light. They accept PayPal and have been in the LED game for the past 7 years, 6 as a gold member on alibaba. I dealt with led star and was gonna purchase the penetrator from them but they don't have a Paypal account Bysen seems like a much better compan in my opinion.BTW you can deal with Bysen the same way that you can deal with Cidly... they'll customize your spectrums etc... and save you a ton of money if you order direct from them
they have the Helios lights featuring some CREE diodes in the center of each module, and btw they are also the company who make the Penetrator Pro X2s, to which they have now added a 'control' led in the center of each module for self-checking/diagnosis/error reporting... if you are into the Helios or Penetrator Pro X2s you can really save an arm and a leg going direct to Bysen...
They gave me an option of a standard spec and an advanced spec. I chose the advanced. They also told me they can customize it... Hey what makes the CREE chip so good? I hear a lot of people on this site rave about them. Actually that's why I chose the Helios...what kind of spectrum are you gonna get, I'm so new to LED lights I need all the info I could get. Thanks a million.sweet Martian Soil, did you customize the spectrum on that Helios? or get the standard spectrum? curious to know, I am in the middle of email communications about their customizing options... thanks in advance!

and that's the rub. Who has 2-3m above the plant to spare indoors? Commercial growers of course, but not most personal use growersthats What I call a light
Lamp Luminous Efficiency(lm/w) 26.6
...
...
Working Temperature(℃ 2700 - 20000

best ride height 2-3 meter above plant

Yeah I'm not suggesting anything to him........I'll leave it to the "pro's" to figure it out.....i don't want to know what work stresses he goes through everyday in china, and me suggesting design ideas that may fail to sell the panel; well It wouldn't end well for himSince he's your buddy, make him aware of Merkaba sacred geometry for diode configuration. The shape is important, but so too is the positioning of the diodes to compliment each other (in phase) and not be phase incoherent, as most are.
Ha....I think goud is making fun of the "lost in translation" within the descriptions.....those chinese are a funny bunch......3000 degree working temp lol......What a panel!!and that's the rub. Who has 2-3m above the plant to spare indoors? Commercial growers of course, but not most personal use growers
For those metrically challenged, 1m=~39"
In a hydro system, the table is ~ 20-30" above the floor + ~ 4ft plant (48") + height above the fixture + 2-3m above the canopy as per mfg (80-120")= > 8.5ft ~ 12ft ceilings.
I have open beam ceilings and barely have 12ft
Hey Martian, do you know what the 'standard' and 'advanced' specs are for that Helios? I asked my contact at Bysen if that made any sense to her... waiting on reply. Have you received the light yet? What you're getting with CREE is efficiency, quality control, and long-term reliability... basically more and better light for your plants for less money and hassle in the long run... However, some other companies have made great strides, and IMHO one doesn't neccessary need to insist on CREEs... the competition today is considreably tighter than it was even just a year ago, and LEDs in general are really evolving at a rapid paceThey gave me an option of a standard spec and an advanced spec. I chose the advanced. They also told me they can customize it... Hey what makes the CREE chip so good? I hear a lot of people on this site rave about them. Actually that's why I chose the Helios...what kind of spectrum are you gonna get, I'm so new to LED lights I need all the info I could get. Thanks a million.
Peace,
