Lighting Kind K5 xl750 rebuild

You didn't think it was bright enough after the test run?

I finished up that side light bar I was telling you about. I think I'm going for an 10-16 citizen 1825 6500k veg light next. The young ones were leaning so hard towards a royal blue light bar I have so I think a 6500k cob light and some supplemental blue LEDs should do the trick.

Is there a significant increase in par output from the 058?

I believe the clu048 1212 is around 44-46% efficient. There is a slight increase between the 1212-1818 and 1825. IM not 100% sure on the 058's

1212 are around 44% efficient at 1400ma and 47% efficient at 1050ma

1818 is about 8% more efficient than the 1212
1825 is only 2-3% more efficient than the 1818

It doesn't seem huge but 10% more than the 1212 is a lot considering its 10% more light and 10% less heat.

They don't have to be the most expensive! You have proven that

Wait a second... table above this post says 1818 at 1.4A is 55% eff. Am I missing something?

 

[BigSm0]

Your right the 1212 is more like 52%
There are so many charts that have many variables. Cct cri affect the numbers slightly too.

Oh it was bright. If it's too bright it'll only take me a few minutes to disconnect them.
