Like their 90-day trial, no questions asked return policy. Don't like how they keep their spectrum secret.
I don't understand their pricing.
The smallest fixture is $62.80 per sq ft coverage, with 20w sq. ft.
The largest is $107.55 per sq ft coverage, with 36.8w sq ft.
It doesn't seem they've thought out their coverages or something.
For the money, I'd go with Area51. But, I wouldn't mind trying their 90-day trial.

Hi,
I already posted in the "Anyone had exprience with the following brands? : Prakasa Budmaster or Grow Northern" thread. I am copying and pasting the information here if it would be of any help to you.
I have been a member here for a little while and I haven't had the time to post anything before. I have so much to tell everyone, however I am having reservations about releasing the information I have about LED WARS and LED lights in general.
In the meantime, while I muster up the courage to do this, please allow me to share with you all the information images, links etc. of the LEDs I have been using and the images of plant growth.

Also just to let you know I am no professional like some of you experts out there! I hope you like what you see as these are just the test reports and goodie images!
The first set of plants (2). I think it was Black Domina X Bubblegum, but can't be sure. I used a Autopot Watering System. Didn't PH, just filled the container with tap water and used their standard fertilizer for food. I hung the light at the recommended distance and went for it. The tent did not have any extraction or filtration systems and I only used a couple of fans to keep the temperature down and a really basic timer. I used 2 x 280w IGS1 LEDs in the 1x1x1.8m tent and it did get hot. Hot to the point when it was hitting 40 degrees. Even then the plants were loving it! My professional grower friend could not believe that I had this basic system with the temperature exceeding 40 degrees. This is a man who loves his HPS but he had to concede that he was seriously amazed at what he was witnessing. He could not believe that these plants were thriving in this temperature range, in this environment, with the standard fertilizer I was giving them.
Well I'll let the pictures do the talking. If I could upload the video here, it would have been better.
Anyway I hope you like my photos and the reports I got hold. Thanks

Apologies if this was already posted, but http://www.cidly.com is the manufacturer of the Apollo panel and UFO series. They work directly with consumers and you can save a lot of money compared to buying retail. They will do custom panels as well.

So the CXA 2540 got a big bump recently. I wonder if 3590 and 3070 upgrades are coming soon? Hopefully they'll be drop in replacements for those with Molex setups and tapped heatsinks. And why doesn't CREE call their COBs COBs? Patent issues? Corporate arrogance?
Cree CXA High-Density LED Arrays Deliver Unmatched Lumen Density To Unlock New Lighting Applications
Four new Cree LED Arrays redefine the possibilities for high-intensity LED lighting applications. These Cree® XLamp® High-Density LED Arrays – CXA2590 (15,500lm/19mm), CXA1850 (9,000lm/12mm), CXA1520 (4,000lm/9mm), and CXA1310 (2,000lm/6mm) – double the light output of existing CXA LED Arrays without a size increase, delivering new levels of light intensity, enabling the complete replacement of ceramic metal halide (CMH) light sources and applications that could not be previously addressed,
Cree's improved CXA Array LEDs with industry’s highest lumen density unlock new designs and applications for LED lighting
“The beauty of these new high-density LED arrays from Cree is that they are helping us bring products to the market that currently don’t exist,” said Mike Wang, vice president, lighting engineering, Edison Price Lighting, Inc. “Never before have we been able to harness such a large amount of light in such a small package, which can help us improve our lighting designs and address a number of applications that we previously could not.”
By emitting more than 15,500 lumens from a 19 mm light source, the CXA2590 LED Array enables luminaires with the same center beam candlepower (CBCP) and light quality of a 150-watt CMH light source at lower power, longer lifetime and with better control. Delivering more than 9,000 lumens from a 12 mm light source, the CXA1850 LED Array enables lighting solutions with the same CBCP and light quality as 70-watt CMH while using half the power. The CXA1520 LED Array delivers more than 4,000 lumens from a 9 mm light source, enabling lighting manufacturers to create a new generation of products that delivers the same intensity and light quality as 39-watt CMH at up to 50% lower power. The CXA1310 LED Array provides more than 2,000 lumens in a 6 mm light source, which allows lighting manufacturers to design smaller, more efficient track lights, reduce the size of halogen replacements by half and deliver twice the CBCP of CMH at 30 percent less power.
“The high-density LED arrays from Cree are extremely impressive,” said Kenny Eidsvold, president, Intense Lighting. “We are looking forward to using these products in applications requiring very high center beam candlepower that previously could not be achieved with LED-based solutions.”
Cree continues to lead the industry by offering the largest portfolio of integrated LED arrays, and the only portfolio of high-density LED arrays. Having multiple size and lumen output options from the extended CXA product family helps lighting manufacturers address a wide range of lighting applications from small form factor halogen and CMH, to sports and stadium lighting. Lighting manufacturers can also take advantage of the CXA’s ability to increase light output without increasing size.
“Having access to such intense light sources without having to account for lots of variation in size is a tremendous benefit to our product design process,” said Seok-Ki Park, CEO, Hwang-Duck Engineering Co., LTD. “We have the flexibility to increase our design options while protecting our investment in ongoing product development.”
Offering the industry’s best color consistency for designs that use only one LED, Cree XLamp CXA LED Arrays are characterized and binned at 85°C, available in ANSI White and EasyWhite® color temperatures (2700K – 6500K), and CRI options of 70, 80 and 95. Samples of all three new high-density LED arrays are available now and production quantities are available with standard lead times.

^ That 2590 is a monster! VF 69v.....and its not entirely a 95 CRI range either, [which I considered because of the high lumen count].
Are they going to smaller dies?
If it is the same price as the existing 2590 line
, then I will be impressed.
Can we get some efficiency #'s on these? por fa vor

The CXA HD is not really an upgrade over the existing CXA, it's just more dies packed together to give more power from the same sized package. In terms of efficacy it is a step back. Plus the higher power density makes it harder to cool. What I'm waiting for is something like a CXA2 with 170+ lm/W efficacy at nominal current.
As to why they call it 'integrated arrays' instead of COBs, my guess is to make it sound less generic. Everybody and his dog are making COBs of similar performance. COBs are a commodity market now. If Cree wants to feel special they better come out with a CXA2.
For the CXA2590 see here.

Thanks! What's funny is that I already asked the question once, back in March!, but I thought the CXA-HD's only were 95 cri versions?
These lower version CRI, threw me off I guess

For those interested you can finally order single 730nm Illumitex Surexis with IDC connections, (for those who hate to solder ), from Mouser. Excellent for anyone who wants to build their own 730nm flowering rig. Still 14.95, is kinda steep I'll concede, especially with other options out there, but they do have there +'s besides the no solder connection like lower power consumption and low heat which makes using heatsink plaster, (no tapping!) and smaller passive heatsinks possible. Plus you can use wall worts on them no problem, well as long as you stay under 600 mA + give them at least 10 volts. I'm building a new flowering cabinet and these are getting built in, no doubt.

Ya know since we're on the subject of Illumitex, in case you didn't know they are doing/sponsoring a MMJ grow on their site which I think is pretty cool. I don't know what a SavvyRick is but he's off to a pretty good start . I'll leave the links for the first 2 vids.
Part 1:
http://www.illumitex.com/greenthumb-savvyrick-loving-neosol-ds-led/
Part 2:
http://www.illumitex.com/another-video-update-da-green-room/
Will the Illumitex question on flowering weed be answered and if they can will the yield be worth it? Will it explode in Illumitex face? And will SavvyRick stop puffing long enough to learn how to use a video camera
?

Thanks for posting the links, first video didn't work for me but the second did.
He's got a big one in the middle, a couple super tall straight as an arrow ones, they look good and healthy, but not sure if that grow will be anything special. There's a lot of room in there that could be better utilized. Still looking forward to hopefully seeing some buds from the ds though.
"They patented these LEDs to do the damn thing." That was my favorite part of the video. Illumitex should consider turning that into their slogan.

Ooops, "Sorry" Puff, let's see if I can fix this for you.
Here's Week 0 where "Rick Meets Za Monsta":
And here's the week 1 vid:
I thought I had a fixation "issue" with the neosol DS panels
.............dude definitely needs learn how to run an efficient grow; I don't get what he's trying to accomplish here?
I think GG brought us down to reality with these F3 fixtures======== the #s just aren't that great, especially for the price.

. Having said that when you throw out Illumitex recommended 1 per square foot mantra, then they work. Running at stock they are no good for growing MMJ and I don't see Rick breaking any records. I think they're great for certain uses but unless you're getting a deal on one I'd avoid them. But if you're a tweaker they're great. 6 F3s at 580mA totally replaced a BS240s. They run cooler and use less watts and the plants like them. Buds have been very mature since there intro into my flowering tent. I like 'em but fuck buying a DS. Shit I'd buy a BML before a DS .I'm not a big Illumitex fan btw but they are the only LED Horti company that have a very active website. And at least they've seem not to be scared of any RICO violations with Ricks vid. And yup P I thinks he's in trouble too. Maybe they whip out an F3A or 2 and save those plants

interesting thread. I just stumbled across it today. I have 6 lgledsolutions mars 2 400 watt lights. they seem to be doing really well since my plants are all super healthy looking and currently flowering their little hearts out. today marks three weeks into flowering.
I would be interested in hearing what the gurus have to say about them. good, bad or otherwise.
