Look into a DIY cob light. If you dont feel comfortable building a light, look into the many manufacturers on the forums. There are many guys around here producing commercial lights. I personally would not go with cheap LED (or expensive such as ADVANCED LED, PLED, KIND, ECT) over HPS. HPS...

Ok, but you have to understand that if you have 600w @ 30% efficiency from HPS and you have 600w @ 30% efficiency from LED, its the same heat output. Just because you have LED does not mean that its going to put out less heat. Many LED manufacturers CLAIM that their LED lamp will output more...

You posted 2 LED lights that total $240 but are advertised @ 900w. Do you understand thats not reality? $240 in DIY LED will net you about 200w of 48% efficient lighting at best. You can also get a 400w HPS setup for about $160 which would be about equal to a 200w DIY LED. Those 2 lights...

No. If you cannot afford quality LED, just buy a 400w HPS setup.

If you like LEDs that are less efficient and shittier than HPS and CMH, then sure, you shouldnt have complaints. Your power bill is the same as anyone on HPS watt for watt. 400w of MarsHydro LED? Same output (if not less) than 400w of Eye Hortilux HPS and less than 315w of CMH. But go in...

Some people like to act poor, be poor, and stay poor. Its ok....... Not sure how you do that though producing your own buds. Oh wait, yes I do, cheap LED panels :D

I appreciate you leaving it up to another grower. I did not realize that you werent growing. Maybe choose your grower a bit better, someone who can devote their attention to it and give your product the best possible shot. And while I understand your light is not intended to be run at 14"...

Hey, no need to get defensive. Its an observation thats valid. 25"x25" fixture, with about 3" off the edge for each of your end cobs correct? So the center to center of the cobs is roughly ~19", leaving ~15" to each side of your cobs with no overlap. You are overlapping a ton in the center...

And this is exactly what I was questioning you on. You no doubt built a seemingly good quality light, but packing all that light into such a small footprint is not efficient. With or without lenses, it still needs a larger footprint for all those. You can tell from your latest pictures that...

I truly believe you are the most ignorant person on this forum. Go play with your blurple lights. Almost half of what you are asking for is already what the OP is asking for. Read the OP and stop being stupid.

Some of your questions are already in the OP..................

400w CXB3070 AB 3000k @ 36v ~ 1.4a 10 Sq Ft (not optimal, 2'x5' space) Soil (2 parts FFOF, 1 part FFLW) 488g

Explain how its a "good value"? It is only as efficient as HPS and costs twice as much as a HPS setup. 1000w HPS is about the same as 1000w MarsHydro ShitLED. So why would you pay for MH lighting when you can have the equal to it for cheaper? Heat is the same in both. MH lights do not...

Whats yoru shipping rate to the states? Unless its dirt cheap, Jerry is still the goto man. We all like competition, but not sense in paying more for the same thing.

Nice lights Rahz. First time I looked at yours (didnt even know Tasty was your lighting). Glad to see a company putting full specs out on it instead of hiding some (type of lighting/drivers, efficiency, wattage, PPFD, ect). Price, well you know where I stand with that :) But at least you put...

You are right, Mars LED do grow just fine. They are at best 25% efficient before loss though. So while you can say you have LED, do you have anything thats better than HPS? No, not at all. I would rather have HPS as its much cheaper price per watt than MarsHydro LED lights. That is why...

Some set a minimum advertised price. If he is advertising them for less (sending the emails out with pricing), then Cree MAY (most likely not) not deal with him anymore.

No offense, but its a 16"x16" light, is it not? If you are using 90 degree lenses in a 4x4 area, the highest you could essentially go is 16" to effectively cover a 4x4 area. Anything higher, and you wont be getting proper coverage. You are also getting an extreme amount of coverage in the...

No hate here. For the same price, many of us are building CXB3590 setups that run ~600w @ 56% efficiency. I believe those CX9 are right about ~44% efficient (maybe Stephen could chime in, would be great to see efficiency ratings on the site). Not only that, you are pounding roughly 460w from...

You can run veg with the lights, but I do not. I was using a T5 for veg, but I am building a 200w CXB3590 5000k light. If you want to veg and flower, I would go with 3500k or 4000k for a happy median. I also do not dim my lights. I have not found a need to as they plants have always done...
