5x5 looking for a start to finish led

dave and Em said:

Yeah my bad on the not paying enough attention. But none the less, do you guys think this will be efficient enough for my 5x5?

It will definitely have enough power to cover a 5X5. I would suggest at least 30" hang height on that light since all the boards packed into one area. That thing will throw down a big central hot spot for sure.

I will do my best. I need to get my light meter on it and see what she comes out to. But she’s bright as all get out. So I shouldn’t need any supplemental lighting ?

You are looking at 12 plants in the picture, and you don't see another 12 on the other side under another Gavita.........

How specifically?

Reviewed light was 720watts. Site has changed the led on the site to a 760 watt fixture.

Maybe one is going from specs and the other from actual light draw? I'd email the rep if you're curious, they are definitely the same light.

Djcoco's review had a 720w light draw on his killawatt when it was listed on the site as a 720w fixture. You can also find the same fixture on Alibaba. I think they are just selling whatever the latest shipment from China is. Not knocking their lights.

no worries bud, it's a good question. I've talked to their rep quite a bit, so I shot her off an email about it, I'll let you know what she says.

There are quite a few of the same exact design same diodes with some wattage variance options. Stateside Volt is also selling one that looks like a branded version of the same fixture for 650. I'm not 100% it's the same exact fixture but the specs and use of 301z+ diodes along with the central housing looking exactly the same would suggest they could all be coming from the same factory in China.

Medic grow also just had this exact weird light except unbranded on their site a few weeks ago

The rep said it's the exact same light except for the wattage difference.

I'm about positive this Volt light is the exact same as the medic grow just branded different

Same watts, diodes, spectrum and the measurements of the fixture are exact to the decimal points

You bought the diy kit of the 600rspec. Same thing. Here's a good par breakdown video. Guys testing seems to show that a 36 inches above the canopy is gonna be best for that light in 5x5

You thinking closer will be too much? Wondering if I should do any supplemental lights

I think closer will be fine but you're gonna go below 500 par in the corners of a 5x5. You'll get better across the whole canopy results at 36. Closer and you'll end up with a little less dense outer plants. It's your choice. At their recommended 30 inch hanging height you're only gonna get some higher readings in.the center at the expense of uniformity. Nugs are still gonna be plump in the center at 30 or 36

Ok guys n gals.... I finally decided and ordered up all my parts. And I will be building a 1100+ watt light. Wish me luck on getting it all in one piece that’s not a monstrous thing that can’t be lifted. Lol
