Moist basement shitty moldy albanian weed..
This look to me like a really nice concept..
I dont advertise this..

I'm in bumper to bumper traffic so I didn't get a great look. Does it mention the cobs used? If not then stay away. Not only is there a difference in name brand quality there can be a light output difference 2-3 times as much between a cheap cob vs a Cree or citizen. It's like buying a Ferrari thinking you get some top of the line high performance Italian engineering but under the hood is a 4 cylinder Kia Soul engine. less expensive cobs will work but your not paying 89 bucks for this light. If your paying these numbers I'd make sure the efficiency was atleast 40% and that's not possible with cheaper brands.
 
@BigSm0 I got 2x cree diy lights 125w + 180w from the wall plus 240w china pimped blurple.. I just tout this is interesting...

"The Optilux16 is a 640 actual wattage draw fixture - that produces a stunning 3.5+ PPF/W (pending lab report). It's incredibly under driven to the point that it's almost reaching the absolute curve. URSA's team contains 4 PHD engineers that specialize in horticulture spectrum control. Our full spectrum is different, because we build our own chips. URSA only uses BLUE LED chips, and converts the blue light via a layer of in-house phosphor, specially formulated to provide CANNABIS its 8-10 photosynthetic peaks that it needs. Additionally, our spectrum contains a small percentage of UV down to 350nm, and far red up to 780nm. It is great for vegging, and flowering. "

"The thing about @AMARE-TECH-Vic is... and pretty much all other LED companies out there... is that they use the same chip makers... CREE.... PHILIPS... SAMSUNG... OSRAM... etc... and they are made for general lighting. The phosphor conversion or RGB chip they use, was meant for general lighting. So now, you have all these LED companies trying to mix different chips together to create a blend of "Spectrums" they think works... but in fact... those chips were not meant for plant grow.. but yeah.. they "work".

Look at our spectrum that shoots into deep red, and also check out our R9 ratings for our phosphor in our high CRI series. Our materials science division in phosphor and bonding processes are [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG] in the world. I wish I could tell you more about our OEM customers..."

Talk is cheap but this light isn't...

This sounds good but I would enjoy some documented growing from a third party reputable grower that has a dialed in strain and environment.the test of time makes or breaks it.

I try to learn from all of my mistakes but I'd much rather learn from someone else's.

And I find One more interesting something like Amare typeof led cobs plus blurple ..

Description
The full-spectrum City wifi-controlled LED grow light was designed to maximize yield and efficiency in your grow space. With a broad spectrum COB LED complementing six spectral bands, the fourteen 40-watt modules consistently outperform a 1000w HID, delivering a whopping 2700 PPFD (μmoles/m2/s) at 12"!

Raising the bar even higher, Lifted LED's wireless app gives growers the ability to fine tune that full-spectrum for maximum production, while custom optics enhance spectral distribution for superior penetration past the plant canopy.


ADVANCED GROWING POWER

ADVANCED SPECTRAL RANGE
Lifted LED complements the reds and blues with IR and UV LEDs and a full spectrum LED source, creating what Lifted LED believes is the most advanced light for plants, and a pleasant light for growers.

Of course Lifted LED's fixtures address the PAR-critical 440 and 660 regions of the spectrum, but with the addition of our true full spectrum COB LEDs as well as the discrete UV and IR LEDs, plants enjoy a rich spectral distribution while growers appreciate the white light that's both nice to work under and helpful in recognizing pests and disease.

COMPLETE WIRELESS SPECTRUM CONTROL
Perhaps the most exciting innovation for the serious grower is Lifted LED's patented airCOM communications protocol that gives the sophisticated grower the power to adjust each fixture to accommodate different strains or growing cycles. Each Lifted fixture emits a wireless signal that your Android phone or tablet can access.

Refine the spectra. Set timers. Check fixture status and temperature. Calibrate lights. Using the Lifted app, your device becomes your grow room's dashboard.

Lifted's intuitive app allows you to change your lighting recipe and experiment with light combinations to maximize the output of your strain using just a smartphone or tablet!

Need to promote vegetation? Fruiting? With the tap of a button, app presets update the fixture's PPF for the most common growing states. Or, growers can leave the settings alone and enjoy Lifted's propriety SpectraMax Blend for maximum output across the spectrum.

The sophisticated grower can further adjust each fixture using the app's built-in sliders, dialing in the spectrum for different strains or growing cycles. Fine-tune your lighting recipe. Program DLI. Experiment with light combinations. Maximize production.

ADVANCED OPTICS
Lifted LED's advanced optics lead to consistently higher PAR values. That means more photons are delivered directly to the growing footprint, providing superior light penetration past the plant canopy.

Lifted LED dialed in the light distribution through custom optical design for both the central COB and each discrete LED in every module, creating an optical pattern that allows growers to maximize the available light exactly where it's needed.

Diodes and Spectrum
Lifted LED began building the City Series spectrum with four bands of optimal PAR wavelengths, drawing on the power of the most advanced discrete LEDs to cover the most productive spectral ranges. To that foundation, they've added both infrared (IR) and ultra-violet (UV) LEDs, further increasing PPFD.

Placed at the center of each module, the large white COB LED enhances the critical PAR bands as well as those underserved bands that plants still utilize. So, while there are six specified bands, the revolutionary broad-spectrum LED actually delivers every band in the spectrum, adding peaks of red and blue in the process.

COBs are also very efficient because, as you'd imagine, one larger LED clearly outperforms many smaller LEDs. The result is that Lifted's lights simply deliver higher PPFD than other lights on the market.

What I see is a lot of people trying to make lights that mimic the Amare but missing the key points like the actual cob itself or the power supply. Not saying they are bad but a Cree 2530 is almost a waste of time at this stage. Very dated and lower efficiency. The only reason I pick on this particular chip is because it seems very common in in overseas lights looking to brag about the Cree name. A Cree 3070 at 50 watts is 40% efficient and 3590 at 50 watts is 58% efficient. 18% more light from a single cob alone.

The other factor is how the light is sent to the plants. By lenses or reflectors all change the lights intensity. This claim of a whopping 2100 umoles at 12" can be achieved with a single 100w cob with a 70 degree lense. A guess but probably accurate. The main thing to consider when buying a race car is the engine. Not how hot the heated seats get. Spectrum is a huge part in growing but also the efficiency as that determine how much energy is wasted.
 
I didn't read it very well,but don't they claim to use lumileds (philips??!?) leds?
 
I agree with Sm0 if you have 10 co.panies all trying to put out panels that are referrencing amare. Trying to look like amare or saying they co.pete with amare. Sounds like amare is a proven standard.

Seeing i have 2 amare and have grown under all sorts of lights that should tell ya something. I also ha e dealt with several customer service teams and amare was hands down the best. Even though i wasnt dealing with amare for warranty because it hasnt broken or burnt up like some competitior brands
