Elevated Lighting Company Grow Light Discussion

[Elevated Lighting Company]

Awesome thanks for the advice, looks like for the price the series 3 500 watt is the way to go, is the PPFD foot print and spread similar to the 480watt series 2 ? If so I’ll be getting this light in feb for my next grow, got two weeks left on my current grow so timing wise should be good for early feb.

Yes you are correct. The 500w kit will most likely test slightly higher due to the higher wattage.

We plan to have all the new kits par mapped by the end of January.

What you get with us:

• The highest performing grow light for the money

Why did we choose Samsung diodes over others such as Epistar? Easy, the efficiency, efficacy, and quality of Samsung is very hard to beat! There is a reason commercial growers are going Samsung versus brands like Epistar. Many brands choose to go with the cheaper diodes to keep costs low.

I'm looking for the same type of light but in the 600 watt power area? Possibly 6 boards on each?

Can you tell me your grow space size? We have tested internally a six board design and found it creates quite a heat spot so we reduced our efforts to create one. Not saying it's off the table but we have been floating different designs to get it right.

Can't say enough about Budget Led's - can't believe the plant development compared to the old Led (Galaxyhydro 300) presently have the 250 Red spec. NOW the only issues is wanting more lights !!! Can't beat the quality of

Thanks for the kind words @safeman!

I’m intrigued by the suggestion of a 6 board light

@Budget LED Are there any plans to provide a series 3 red spec 350 watt in the near future?

Currently looking for driver options with Mean Well. A great alternative is the 2 board design with the XL heatsink.

 

[Chris Scorpio]

I built my own 6 bd for my 4x4 that run about 450w

I use 2 drivers nw..gunna add 2 more bds at some point to get me over 600w but will need another driver or buying 2 new bigger ones

One driver for 6 bds could be a challenge...think 2 would run better....with extension outside the tent

 

[Elevated Lighting Company]

And apologies, the 6 boards design does become a challenge. Without making it a big fixture, grow room coverage because a challenge

Long story short, I read my first study about photosynthesis under fluctuating light roughly 10+ years ago that explained they were using alternating lights in 2 hour increments in Holland without any lose of production and I’ve always wanted to experiment with that...so I was thinking if you offered the series 3 I would buy two and only run 3 boards using a repeat cycle(flicker) relay.

My fixture or frame is 3'x3'

So I get the 6" space on all 4 sides of the frame and the lights easily cover that area

A bit bigger may be nice but then it's pretty tight in the tent

Nice, I would love to see that. Is it in your journal?

You are running the heat sink free boards, correct? They are definitely nice for applications like you have setup.

What size space do you have?
We can build the 4 board kit with two separate drivers.

They are nice, no sinks needed... Plus ability to get closer to the plants
I have some of the 120bds in 4000k and 3000k I use in my alternate or overflow area when needed
And a pair of the 288s in my veg tent now...they need the sinks for sure

These are all 2700k bds.

It is in my journal..but here are two quick pics since my lights are still on now

I'm redoing the frame to add two bds down the center, l to r

Someday....lol



A 6 bd light with sinks would be a bit tuffer... But if each bd and sink was seperate... The weight , I think, would be much less

You should throw to of our Heatsink free full spec boards in the center.

I am playing around with a 4 board design now with them.

Ya I read about and looked at pics of a few. The spread was amazing and I asked budget led guys about one(as you seen) and he said they are playing with it but that it creates a hot spot? Plus this may not be right but I swear when I read about the 600 inventonics and meanwell drivers they said not to go more then "5" boards in a series set up????? Maybe somebody can clarify? Or my lazy but could do some research again.

I want some Red Spec ones bad...

Mix a few in with the others

 

[Elevated Lighting Company]

Yes if we do a six board design, it would be multiple drivers.

The main problem, is making a light that is easy to assemble and provides adequate coverage without creating a monster system to hang and manage.

It has the red in it. We are looking at coming out with a 140 design but we also have a slimmer designed board setup we are looking at.
