Please add if i missed any chart

@SupraSPL IM me if you want to test this Luna COB and add to the charts you made for Vero 29, 3590,3070


4 samples of 3590CD, 1 sample Luna 200 3000K 80 CRI, 2 samples Vero 29 3000K, 2 samples Vero 29 3500K, 2 samples Vero 29 5000K
No spectrum correction made to data. Used a leveling stick to keep heatsink straight. 12 inches from COB to top of sensor. Apogee SQ120. Sensor vertical for all measurements.

Thank you good sir!!!

thank you robincnn nice work!

I was hoping someone would open this subject up again ThanX robincnn

Yeah thanks man for starting this thread, I look forward to part two. Subbed!

here's change of subject back to cobs
see this on fleabay
sorry if posted before

anyone know about , try or seen these ?
guy has a spectrem as well

Those are not full spectrum.
They're also epicrap and not very cheap either.

A vero 29 is only a little less than 3 dollars (digikey) more expensive than that ebay light.

yeah , kinda figured that ,
wonder how many ppl buy these thinking they got something ?

Thanks guys. No more charts until i can save money to get the new SQ500 Apogee meter

Thanks to @SupraSPL for his COB output charts.

I'm waiting the Apogee too...but times seem uncertain in UE.
the only,apparent problem, a small discrepancy, perhaps small,
on web page, claim up 4000 µmol m-2 s-1,
on the datasheet, claim up 2500 µmol s−1 m−2.
What's the truth? i send a request...without reply for now....
if I'm doing something wrong please correct me....
thank you

thanks a lot Robin

I see on webpage
Non-linearity less than 1 % (up to 4000 µmol m-2 s-1)
And on datasheet
Non-linearity: less than 1 % (up to 2500 µmol m-2 s-1)
Might be just an error. I plan on measuring under 2000 µmol m-2 s-1.

the luna is that flip chip ying yang 2400w garbage i see all over the grow forums?

From what I've seen, it's a lot like the Cree CXB3590 in character (no ying yang, all egg-yellow).

ya need a huge sink 4 that one even @ active it's gonna be big

The Luna heat sink is not that big. The Coolbay can provide enough cooling for 470 watts, with the CLU550, to cool passively in a room no hotter than 80*. I was given this data by CDIwebs VP of sales, verified by Mechtronix. I am only running them no more than 330 watts.

Great data thank you sir! How was each COB mounted? In my tests I mounted them without holder, using kapton BUT I did check the output of the Vero 29 with LEDIL C13584 holder and the holder gave it a 5-7% boost in output because it is a great shape to act as a mini reflector. I did not check the CXB3590 with ideal holder to see if there was any boost, but the ideal holder is poorly shaped as a mini reflector so that would be a good test. Also, how much are the Luna 200s retail $$?

The Luna 300 is only $70. So less

Didn't I give you bjb's and a ledil holder? You should be able to at least test the 3070 for differences in mounting tech.
