FLIP CHIP OPTO LUNA 300!!!

Hey nevergoodenuf,

You really don't need a fan for your sink, it's overkill. See my rendition;

Update- Great news the Mechatronixs Coolbay tera A fits the Luna 300 perfectly. The fan will be close, but easy to make work. I should be able to light this up tonight.

Well, @Alex Lau how many watts do you feel the Coolbay can handle running your Luna 300? 330 watts without issues? At 250 watts do you have a cheaper option than this? This is an excellent price for passive high power cooling. I wouldn't mind shorter and fatter, but I only find them in China and shipping kills it for me.

You should consider our inhouse matching heatsinks, that are shorter and a little fatter. They also weight extremely light.

We use an inhouse patented fin process- reduced weight and overall temperature.

Our 240W heatsink is 50 dollars, our 320w heatsink is 64 dollars and our 600W heatsink is 241 dollars.

They are all passive, and are matching to their corresponding Flip Chip COBs.

240W heatsink can cool Luna 250 and a 320w heatsink can effectively cool Luna 300.

any news on when we'll see parts (Duet, Luna, heatsinks) or the Helios series for sale?

Been buying them for months. Just call them. Just have to wait for a slow ship from over seas. I'm calling for a boat in a day or two.

2 starlite 320s 5000k veg monsters.

Gonna see how it flowers.

Amazon selling them for $960

^^Yeah...saw that...wow...just wow...I mean...that's just....ridiculous.

A big company like this should just under-price everyone, sell a TON of lights and make a name in the grow light arena that way. Nobody is going to bite at that price. There's just too many lights that have better selling points out there. They won't win over the OCD efficiency guys with their numbers. That's for sure. The Flip Chip Opto stuff is a curiosity at this point. Curious people are willing to take a stab -IF the price is such that they won't feel ripped off if the lights don't perform noticeably better than whatever else is out there...but a single-emitter fixture for nearly a grand?....no!

These should be priced at $200.00 each. They could sell a thousand and make 200,000...rather than selling 20 for a thousand each...I dunno...That's my opinion.

@Alex Lau whats your best contact info. Been waiting on reply from the general info email for about a week

do we have one good finished grow from any of these opti's.[?

they veg good by that photo..

Most of my last couple runs are with the Luna 300. Even had a friend hit a gram per watt on his first run @ 250w and one COB.

What size space is that single 250w used in?

Is that where youre at? about 1g/w? Just curious of what this cob is doing.

@vahpor it was in a 2'x4' tent.
@MeGaKiLlErMaN I have been around .8 grams per watt, but my last couple runs just got worse and I changed back to soil on this last run. My current run is in my sig. The vertical section is the Luna 300 and the other section is CLU058's.

Not bad but I hope it gets a bit better going vertical something must be up what's the efficientcy at? That's key in getting g/w numbers over 1

The problem isn't the lights, it is me growing. The vertical section is done so I can have better access to the others. I only have about 70 square feet in an L-shape. If you look at my last couple runs, I had more and more problems. I am not sure if my nuts went bad or what, but the same setup just got worse and worse, so I went back to soil and now run Missions line of organic fertilizer. I would usually run into problems by now (week4-5). I just am not a good gardener and some a lot of time the room comes last on my to do list.

I understand completely lol sometimes it's last on my list but I am pretty close to automated in hydro so it works out over all.

Thats why I use organic soil so I cant really mes it up

Any grows yet or sould i stick with the cxb 3590 80 cri's ?

In your shoes, I'd get quantum boards or CXB3590 3000K 90CRI.
