No, it is equivalent to 100W HPS or CMH. Chinese LED manufactures talk complete shit. I will do the maths for you.ripper5 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 11, 2022 11:19 pmIt's equivalent to 500w incandescent?
Yes, only equivalent to 250w metal halide which is what I believe I need for my 600w hps bloom setup. No bubbles bursted.
Do your boards come out of the box ready to go or is there assembly required. Those hangers definitely require installation. Is there a more ready to go version? Seriously interested.
Average single-ended HPS = 1.6 umol/j
Average single-ended CMH = 1.6-1.8 umol/j
Your LED = maybe 2.3-2.4 umol/j
So, your LED is (at best) 50% more efficient than the average HPS or CMH lamp. That means 80W of LED is equivalent to 80 x 1.5 (50%) = 120W.
After all, if that 80W LED didn't replace 100W of HPS, why does the box say it does? See how they have hedged their bets by stating it replaces "100W, 250W of HPS"?
As for our LEDs, we've got a new version coming out next week that is completely hang and grow, so all you need to do is take it out of the box, hang it up and grow. But we'll still offer DIY kits. The main issue with pre-assembled lights is that they take up packaging space, so this adds to the shipping cost – especially international. Also, we can offer kits that don't include drivers so that if you do live in the US or Europe etc, you can source your own drivers from Arrow or Digikey etc fairly cheaply and then get free delivery. The drivers are heavy, so that also adds to international shipping. Driverless kits save a fair amount of money.
Those stainless hangers don't require any more installation than any other ratchet hanger. One end has two screws to attach to any fixture, and the other end has a hook. And our DIY lighting kits are very easy to assemble. If you know how to use a screwdriver and a spanner, you can build one of our lights (no wiring required – all the plugs and cables are "plug and play"). They're easier to assemble than an Ikea shelf.
