Lighting new GN Units

[KsjAuto]

Hey ksj, I was looking at the latest rebel LEDs. They really do look fantastic, philips recommend running the LEDs lower than rated, improves the reliability while only slitly reducing output but giving much better engergy in to light out efficiency. They produce twice as much light as standard LED.
I checked it out becouse I thought the rumours about the new GrowNothern panals where unrealistic. But if ya do a search you can find 'Engery Saving Trust' measuements on the bulbs. There so good 'EST' are going to have to update their formula 'cos if come up with an efficiency rating of 130% (which is impossible).

Just checking :tiphat:

130% Hmm

This is from phillips datasheet..

All royal blue lm/w 37-53% examp. LXML-PB01-0040 2.95v 350ma 1.03w = 40LM 40%
deep reed lm/w 34-42%

The lime green color is at most 190lm/w 190%.. That's ridiculous high power .. but not used for grow.

Just some facts .
Dont´t get me wrong. I know led can produce. i been doing some testing with a diy led "actual watt 38" yep that small" works pretty damm well..

I look forward to see the new lights.

We really don't no yet what the new units will have but im sure they will have tested the unit and will not release it until they are sure they have it right.

Actually this insnt unrealistic http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2012-03/09/230-percent-efficient-leds

It's all down to the band gap, maybe Philips have some new Rebels for the grow light market we haven't been told about yet!

Soylent, intresting article. If it can be devoloped we might be seeing them in 5 yrs or so, but a small scale experiment dosnt allways (in fact less than 50% of the time) end up as a realistic product.

Something else intresting I found out, surfing wildly as i do, the new LED panals will use about the same amount of electric as a similar size solar panel will make in very good weather.


Bilbo, we cant know until the panel are released, but Im suspecting the're using Redal ES's. Philips released them about a year ago. There greater light out comes from the design of the overall LED. Where as typical LEDs have Anodes (positive electrical connectors) connected to the diode by having large metal strips over the top of the light emmiting layer. This blocks a large amount of the light leaving the LED. The new rebals are built diffrently, allowing the whole of the top light emmiting surface to be productive.

Peace

Tang I look at your grows and I want that same big yield lol, will 2 of these new lights provide your massive yields in a [145cm x 80cm x 200cm] tent??

edit: lets hope so ill be buying these once released given your grows to date using the hybrid lights.

I will let you know in 3 or 4 months when I've done a grow with them.

Come on GN how about a pic to fuel some more interest! Even if its only a bit of the unit it'll help pass the time

I don't think we are to far away from the specs and pics bro,I know GN are mad busy at the moment but they know how eager we all are,remember GN are only a small team of like 3 people.

:bone: Just chasing my dick around waiting for the new lights!
