King Brite "angelinas". They really would be so perfect.
My hood is ghetto.
The Ikea Ryets are good LED bulbs. You can snap the diffuser off easily and the parts inside are easy to take apart because the driver part just plugs into the LED plate part. I mention this because the cooling of these bulbs is very bad, so if you had some time on your hands you could mount the plates on a piece of aluminum.So they came in the mail today. 4 100w equivalent & 6 60w equivs. I was AMAZED @ how many more diodes there were on the 100's. 24!! Check it out!
Fyi- if you get these, the 60w bulbs are a breeze to take off the diffuser. Not the case on the 100w. You need to physically cut near the bottom of it and circle around. The clips are caulked in and support the board the diodes are on. The 60w though, you just press in the clips one at a time and they pop off
no shit i have yet to see a single one of these that wont burn you. i think when i do the test described above the A19s with metal housings (feit) might pull ahead of the others which i believe are all plasticThe Ikea Ryets are good LED bulbs.

one 14 watter crushes my clone machines with dense vigorous growth. i let some run too long and theyre stocky lil monsters but i have zero doubt that with the right CCT and array #/spacing these would be as good as anything out there, the cutting edge cobs not withstandingGreat ideas man! I tell you as funny as it sounds my little girls under the ge bright sticks are doing phenomenal.
The GE ones get incredibly hot. I saw a video about them. Actually probably the last brand you'd want to get. Always good to view a "teardown" video of a bulb before buying.no shit i have yet to see a single one of these that wont burn you. i think when i do the test described above the A19s with metal housings (feit) might pull ahead of the others which i believe are all plastic
They get hot as fuck. It really sucks. But I doubt any other bulbs get that much less heat coming off themThe GE ones get incredibly hot. I saw a video about them. Actually probably the last brand you'd want to get. Always good to view a "teardown" video of a bulb before buying.
How many lumens or more imprtant PPF do you think those are realistically putting out and how many watts are they?ok some pics on the osrams. heres the easy way to remove the diffusers if you dont care about destroying them. grab em with a big channel lock in 4 places and you crack the bond from the diffuser and the fixture without nicking up the plastic on the fixture by prying
ghetto 'can opener' reflector:
modifying an angelina
reflector below fixture, would need attached:
reflector hanging above fixture, no mounting necessary when used vertically
ill have to experiment with which gives a better pattern. cutting up that angelina increased the cost of the fixture by 50%, I need some kingbrite cheapies!
Oh man... that is such a great idea honestly. Those osram have a ton of diodes.ok some pics on the osrams. heres the easy way to remove the diffusers if you dont care about destroying them. grab em with a big channel lock in 4 places and you crack the bond from the diffuser and the fixture without nicking up the plastic on the fixture by prying

How did you cut the Ghetto reflector from the diffuser? A can opener really? You didn't use channel locks on that one did you?ok some pics on the osrams. heres the easy way to remove the diffusers if you dont care about destroying them. grab em with a big channel lock in 4 places and you crack the bond from the diffuser and the fixture without nicking up the plastic on the fixture by prying

they are 14W and advertise 1500 lumens but i think thats with the diffuser. hoping for 120-140 lm/W. im gonna measure all these against the cob controls above so wont be an exact science, but those are well understood so i hope to be able to draw some rough parallels. will be using a li-cor to measure ppfd and an ocean optics spectrometer for spectrumHow many lumens or more imprtant PPF do you think those are realistically putting out and how many watts are they?
those ones are for 3590s i had them on hand. i would think there may be some out there for cobs with a larger LES? this osram bulb could use a reflector for a 1.8-2" cob.Do you have a link to that reflector bobby g? I'm sure I can find them just not sure if they sell different brands/models. Also do you think they are worth the effort to install? Not sure if I said this or not yet but you guys rock!!
naw i used a utility knife. did not use channel locks on that one, in fact its easiest if not removed, the glue helps keep it from spinning when cut. i removed it by prying then snapped it back on, which it did, but it would spin around which made cutting it difficult/dangerous as my hand literally had to be on the diffuser to keep it from spinning, instead of keeping more distance from the bladeHow did you cut the Ghetto reflector from the diffuser? A can opener really? You didn't use channel locks on that one did you?
I see. Very cool. And Jerry does have cheapo reflectors. 88 cents cheap! I used them on my light. They're no different then ledil besides being wider and the lines go horizontally on the inside rather than vertically like angelina.naw i used a utility knife. did not use channel locks on that one, in fact its easiest if not removed, the glue helps keep it from spinning when cut. i removed it by prying then snapped it back on, which it did, but it would spin around which made cutting it difficult/dangerous as my hand literally had to be on the diffuser to keep it from spinning, instead of keeping more distance from the blade
