Boasting efficacy approaching 200 lumens per watt at low power, these diodes are incredibly efficient. Typical forward voltage for each diode is ~2.7-2.8V at 65mA of current. Absolute maximum current is rated at 200mA per diode Thermal managment is simple as fuck – light boards do not require active cooling and can be just mounted to a thin piece of aluminium Greater efficiency. At 50 watts our lights are getting 180+ lumens per watt. Highly efficient COBs like the Cree CXB3590 average 160-170 lumens per watt at 50W or Bridelux Vero 29 S7 average 123-163lm/W
These lights aren´t really known in Europe yet but if you look to USA there is a lot of people who run lights with these chips and proved they works.
I am thinking of trading a plasma out with a LED at some point. Right now i stack a plasma with a 315 CMH. I worry about how cool they are during winter months but during summer it would be a blessing.
Maybe in the near future i will try them, for now i’m happy with my two COB rigs… Would like to learn more tho, can’t avoid change, and gotta go with the flow…
Yes I would be very interested in trying those out myself, Just can’t afford to right now with the hurricane that hit us here in florida money is tight due to cleanup… Looks similar to what Growmou5 built a few lights with on youtube, same chips I think i know they were samsung chips.
Yep… same chips… that isn’t my concern… it’s the engineering ability.
Anyone can throw a bunch of chips on a board (just check RIU) and say
it beats whatever they want to compare it to ON PAPER.
Want to know what the l/w is at whatever current they use as standard,
the heat profile running at that level, etc. Then you run up against the
price point of such a board, limited run, setup costs, manufacture dates,
and issues unforeseen. Products not PreOrders…
