If money was no factor in buying your grow light which one would you purchase for your grow tent. Just curious on what people would like to have. My self I run QB with the H chip and the 660 red. Don't know if there is anything out there better than that so far.
Depends on the size of the tent. I dont think theres a better light out there than the 880w Mammoth Mint White Series. Its got the newest EVO 301H, 435nm, and also uses far red 730nm diodes. Plus it has optional 100w UV. 2713umol. 3752 Diodes. $1000 without UV. 680w Mammoth Mint White is the next consideration.
Chasing the latest and greatest seems a futile effort as technology has been advancing so fast that by the time you take possession something better is on the shelves. I've been fortunate enough to test drive several units from a variety of manufacturers but everything I've been offered has been eclipsed before my reviews ran their course.
Yes I have been looking at LEDs but for now what I got seems to be hard to beat. I got three 350 watts from wall and one 300 watts from wall and one 600 watts from wall which are HLG-AB drivers and Samsung's LM-301 H diodes 3-4k @ cree 660nm-730nm
got 3 of these I'm so happy - so happy .....lol is worth a visit to Shane's Channel https://www.youtube.com/@MIGROLIGHT/videos good luck
I accidently put 301B, when it is 301H. i went back and corrected the error. The 301H Evo Mint white is a completely new diode, and goes down further in nm than the 310b, or 301H. It is specifically made for plants. What is LM301H Evo about? In various articles we have already described the popular Samsung LM301 LED chips and discussed the variants LM301B and LM301H which are interesting for horticultural applications. Their popularity is mainly due to the exceptionally high efficiency of up to 3.1 µmol/J or 220 lm/W. This is also the only difference between LM301H and LM301B: the "H" type exhibits the important PPF values while the "B" type is specified with lumens that are only relevant for the human eye. Basically, however, this LED has been developed for general lighting, which is why the spectrum is optimised for a pleasant colour impression on humans. LM301H Evo - (R)Evolution for Horticulture LEDs Samsung has announced further development of the LM301 series in early 2021 which now on the market as LM301H Evo . A LM301B Evo type with a classic spectrum phosphor blend and increased efficiency is also on Samsung's Agenda. This time, however, the two types differ not only in their designation and marketing material: 435 nm chip in the LM301H Evo With the LM301H Evo, a small revolution in plant lighting awaits us, because for the first time a composition of LED chip and phosphor has been developed especially for plant lighting. At its core is a short-wave 435 nm LED, which is used as a "photon pump" instead of the usual 450 nm. Currently, five different spectra are offered: Classic colour temperatures: 3000K, 4000K, 5000K, 6500K Special phosphor blend: Mint White LM301H Evo Mint White Ultimately, the latter is indeed revolutionary because it focuses on the blue and green-yellow range with a reduced red component. This takes into account the fact that for the red spectrum there are clearly more efficient alternatives. Modern 660 nm LEDs achieve over 4 µmol/J, as they run without a phosphor conversion and associated losses. FLUXstrip Enhanced with LM301H Evo and LM301B We decided to take this approach and combine the best of both worlds. In concrete terms, this means that we use both the classic 3500K spectrum of the LM301B/H and a certain proportion of the new LM301H Evo Mint White on our new FLUXstrip Enhanced. This allows the classic blue peak to be "smoothed" into a plateau. Thus it allows the plants a more even utilisation of the photosystem the range 420-470 nm. And then we just more than compensate for the lower red component of the "Mint White" by using some highly efficient Oslon Square 660 nm LEDs. FLUXstrip Enhanced SPD In the end, these three LED components contribute to a amazing efficiency of 3.3 µmol/J at a rated current of 1000 mA. For particularly energy-saving applications, over 3.5 µmol/J at 350 mA can be achieved. The absolute maximum current at which the FLUXstrip Enhanced should be operated is 2000 mA (~47 Watt). Pre-order FLUXstrip Enhanced with LM301H Evo The new FLUXstrip Enhanced with the newly composed spectrum will be available from 15 December. Those who want to secure the LED strips at a particularly attractive price can pre-order them from us now. FLUXstrip Enhanced pre-order Applications for FLUXstrip Enhanced With its high efficiency and balanced spectrum, FLUXstrip Enhanced is ideal for the entire growing cycle from cultivation to the flowering and fruiting phase. In particular, vertical farms or horticultural applications with a short distance to the lamp can be optimally equipped with FLUXstrip Enhanced with the typical power density of 25W per strip. The product will also be available in various kits in the near future. In the meantime contact us for an individual solution. More info about the LM301H Evo As with the LM301B and LM301H, Samsung emphasises the advantages of the flip chip design, which ultimately serves to improve light output and heat dissipation. It also increases the resistance of the LED package, as no fragile gold wire (bonding wire) is used here, which is exposed to mechanical and chemical influences.
Yes Ive seen them, but it looks to me watt for watt the Mammoth are more powerful, though Mammoth only makes up to an 880w lamp. The 880w Mammoth vs the 850w Foshe loses to the Mammoth by about 600umol, and the Foshe dont have the newest EVO Diodes. Plus the Mammoth are considerably less money. Id still stick with the Mammoth. Plus I dont like their website. They want you to subscribe by email to get full technical specs. I dont like that at all, and they dont give a price list. They make it to hard to get complete details. Though Im sure they are nice lights.
