I've always been friendly and positive with those who haven't gone out of their way to negatively misplace my character here on the forums, as well as my real life identity. I've always openly shared my knowledge with others here, whether through comments, graphs, pictures, or videos, which have really piled up over the past few months. Would be nice to see the same from you or Eraserhead but I don't hold expectations from you two, as you both hold different stakes in this forum, with different objectives and demeanor. We're who we're.

:peace:

You suck. What's sad is your new light, whether it has the corniest name ever or not, is actually very good looking and the price point is nice, but I would never support your company. You'd think that by now you'd learn to keep your mouth shut. Every time you type on these boards it's painful to see. Do you act this way because of how your first models were received? Do you really think this is good business practice? Or is it just THAT hard for you run a legit business that doesn't bad mouth competitors? Also.....no one wants to see your corny portrait all over the place. Sell your damn lights and quit with the dumb shit. Throw up a journal or something. I've never even seen you grow a plant.

O come now brother, you know the idea of Eraserhead coming here and sharing his knowledge over cobs is nothing short of a joke. To put things into perspective, I joined the forums around the early fall of 2014, where I'd watch others, such as @SomeGuy, elaborate and share their success stories of building their own grow lights. It wasn't until around the following year that Area51 would finally jump on the COB band wagon and begin selling their cob products. In other words, they, like myself, were students and learned from those teachers who had before shared their wisdom over the matters of cob lighting. In conclusion, Eraserhead has only capitalized on the successes of those before him and so me seeing someone entertain the idea that he ever shared any knowledge over widespread, predated knowledge made me laugh a little.

Cheers to laughter!

Name someone for whom that is not true to at least some extent.

Well if you posted it,it must be true,guess I've never contributed anything here. I can see your a rising star here and one could almost say your the new Martin Shkreli of the LED world.

Thanks for the history lesson, but I've been a member since Jan 2013.

EH can defend himself but I don't ever remember him claiming to be part of the DIY community like you seem to. I do remember that he has always been transparent and honest. He even disclosed his parts in his lights down to the bin and supplied lights to do comparison grows.

Exactly, and that's why I am buying from him.

The only LED companies i'll buy from is Apache, Area51 Led and PLC in no particular order but those three have proven results from many different growers that use different styles and techniques on this forum.

I'm new here in the LED world and am certainly no authority on lights or growing, but I thought I'd throw up some pics of a garden with some plants that have only ever known Area 51 W90s. Worked up from 2 lights as clones to 6 now 30 days into flower. All I can say is I have no regrets. Definitely looking to DIY some cxb bars in the near future but am looking forward to running these W90s for a long time to come. I would definitely recommend A51 to anyone who is looking for a high quality COB light that isn't looking to DIY.

It looks like they do a fine job. What distance are you using for the lamps?

SO there are a few days left before the 15th, and i can't stop looking at the w90.

How does the competition stack up? Is anyone else lighting a 2x2 area with Veros or CXB's for 200 or less?

Can 90 watts flower a 2x2x6 area and pull 1g/w? Will this put out less heat than a 100x3 mars hydro led (don't laugh)?

Sorry if this have been covered before.

I have a w90 in a 2x2 for veg. It works fine for this at 14 to 18 inches. I would want much more punch for flower. 80 watts to the cob in a 2x2 only gives 20 watts sq/ft. Add another w90 or check out a bigger light. Even supplementing the corners with a19 LEDs might work.

hmmm... $400 to light a 2x2 is a little too steep. time to work on diy. Thanks for the response.

Of course a 90 watt light will put out less heat than the 180 watt 100x3 panel. I will laugh.
The A51 can certainly achieve 1g/w

Also it's worth looking at Tastyled once they're in stock again, though A51 also has to restock

More efficient than the Vero and I'm certain the T1-2100 will outdo your Mars panel with much less wattage

@Eraserhead

I've had some time to think things over and I owe you an apology for some of the comments that I've launched at you and Area51LED over the past year or so. Whether or not my comments held any merit, I shouldn't have made any rude or snarky remarks that belittled your character or the work and passion that you've been building over the years. Your products have made a bunch of customers (and their customers) very happy since your business's launch and I ultimately respect that as a business owner. I won't be calling you or your products out condescendingly in the future, as it's unnecessary and weak. Instead, I will be pursuing the opposite path and promote our side of the lighting industry, which is LED lighting, in a positive manner.
