but i do agree your prices are pretty fair for bang for buck. can't wait to get a hold of one
Hey guys im about to buy this LED for my closet need advice
- Thread starter Rman18
- Start date
but i do agree your prices are pretty fair for bang for buck. can't wait to get a hold of one
I'm new to LEDs, I've been using mh for a few years. And there is quite a noticeable difference in heat. Very noticeable.

Can someone recommend a more efficient light for the cost? I will look into doing a side-by-side comparison.

I guess those would be better lights than the LEDs from a few years ago, but essentially its the same thing. If they used a 4000k or 5000k white cob that had added red and deep red diodes in the chip it would have made a heck of a light. But since its just a dual band spectrum I would say all plug and play lights using cree and bridgelux are far more efficient and they really aren't much more expensive than anything on that site.

My plants are growing JUST fine. Thanks for your opinion.
As you know I said they would grow a plant and produce a product that would do the job. But those lights are far from efficient and don't provide the proper spectrum to give the plants all they need to be all they can be.

J-Icky the thing you don't understand is you can say all you want. Until you run grow trials I don't give a rats ass.
Go do 30 some odd side by side grow trial comparisons of different products and then come back to me and tell me about your scientific data.
These cob grow lights work better than all 30 other products which is why I pay money for them.
They DO custom spectrums if needed but most of that is BS. You don't need to complicate things. Red and blue are the most important.
IF you are buying 50 units at a time then DIY is out of the question.

Hey guys cool thread I wanted to ask you, arm I have 2x clw 440w they been great, but I moved from a 4x4 to 2.5x 6-7 ft. I would like to use 3 lights I have 600watt hps air cooled but sucks getting temps to stay down under the light.
So I want to ditch the hps, add another led, I was thinking staying with cfw, but reading you guys I am questing that. The person over at gogreen are really cool. But I am not 100% sure how it differs from cfw. I am debating over a few options but these two are at the top atm. I like the T8 bulbs on there as well.
But I am on the fence clw 880 or 2x cab3070.
Sorry don't mean to hijack thread, but love to hear input.

PLC, TASTY LED

Indeed. PLC ( pacific light concepts) and or TL ( tasty led ) both quality fixture, it comes down too the parameters in which one to get. You will have to configure your spread but seems like TL is what would make more sense of your setup from the brief description you gave.

Thanks for the info. The Plc looks a lot like the gogreen cob led, any idea there real difference?
And yeah TL looks cool, the are pretty sold out. I am working on finding their logs, I need to get 1-2 more lights with in the month.

Plc uses reflectors,go greens uses SMALL lenses.

Lol, you just gave me a few more questions lol. What's the difference? If you have something for mr to read I be happy to do that.
Like not sure what the pros and cons are for those, and what they are more ideally meant for.

Search reflectors vs lenses. There's a whole thread on it.

GOGREEN LED doesn't compare to Pacific Light Concepts. I have both of the lights and looks can be completely deceiving because i thought so to until i received my gogreenled. Not do discredit anything from them it is a descent fixture and will get the job done but its componets and build is inferior. It doesn't take someone to explain the difference if you just read the basic specifications on each fixture you can tell they differ in quit a few aspects.
I will gladly point a few off the top of my head with out even going to the websites and pulling specs.
Kelvin Spectrum: PLC 3500k spectrum ( imo more ideal for start to finish) GGLED: 3000k spectrum ( imo more suited for bloom)
Dimension: i will not provide the numbers here they are completely different.
Drivers: PLC meanwell HLG ( top rated) GGLED less efficient proprietor drivers ( really?)
Watts: PLC 320-340, GGLED 300
and the list goes on but not here with me, if you would like i could send you pics of both of the fixtures.

Gogreen uses cxb3070 3500k. Always has.

If I'm wrong then I'm wrong and its ok to be wrong thats how you learn and … these things happen but i also must have been misinformed.
I don't think i mentioned anything about the chips they use. I'm sure they use cxb3070's as i've had a look for myself. As far as the 3500k spectrum will i guess Mr.Brady the spokesman whom i dealt with led me to believe the spectrum is 3000k. As well as on this website http://www.gogreenleds.com it has also led be to believe the spectrum is 3000k. I could go further on in explaining how and why i believe the spectrum is 3000k but i guess I must have missed something.
