Hello all,
First post here and a big thank you to all that contribute, I have learned much here.
I am a 420 med grower and very grateful for you, thank you.
How I came to try 2, sp250's?
1 of 2 very expensive well know led unit's had failed @ flip time making removal necessary for warranty repair. Crap!
Please I'm not here to bash or degrade this is a completely different type of illuminating and pretty much obsolete diode technology comparisons to the sp250 are not equal.
The positive reviews and allot of research revealed to me the sp250 is the one to sample for my needs.
I did, 2, and I'm very happy @ this point, I will not produce any real data other than to mention I purchased 3 more SP250"s to install after this cycle.
This should create even fairly consistent wall to wall coverage @ my bloom footprint, The penetration has already been proven
@ day 48, the pics are from day 42.
All this so far nets me a savings of 170 watts @ the wall.
Side benefits is not having 8 large very noisy cooling fans per light running 27-7 necessary to keep blue diodes alive in a humid environment.
My heat load was reduced almost 4 degrees from the light swap.
1, 630 watt led with much reduced footprint.
2, 230 watts 460watts total w/much improved footprint and penetration.
-----------
170 watts savings producing superior coverage and penetration over the old led's while reducing operating and purchase cost.
Disclaimer... I have paid for all my SP250"s, nothing has been given to me from Mars Hydro.
