AC INFINITY IONFRAME EVO 8 | PAR TEST & REVIEW

[@HappyHydro]

AC Infinity is just pumping out new tech and gear. With their new line of LED commercial lights, what are your thoughts?!

[@jeffreycoon9634]

I have this light and I really like it. I can’t compare it to anything cause this is my first grow and my first light of this size. I can say that the stuff around the outer edges seems to be just as happy as the stuff in the middle.

[@HappyHydro]

@@jeffreycoon9634 Awesome to hear!

[@ErikReidt]

Just got this light a few weeks ago, ABSOLUTE BEAST of a light! Super happy with it.

[@HappyHydro]

Oh heck yea!

[@BuildASoilJunkie]

How was the light bill ? What was your yield

[@joeborovina4769]

Amazing how far LED lighting has come. AC infinity has brought automation of lighting and enviroment to the home grower for reasonable $

[@HappyHydro]

Joe, solid thoughts as always!

[@heartymcfly]

@HappyHydro you mention AC infinity recommends 12” and 40% at seedling and early veg, do you mind linking that info? 3:48

[@HappyHydro]

If you go to their website and look up the EVO8, then scroll down to the Technical Specs. Open the Product manual PDF and on page 22 and 23 is some info about hanging height! Hope that was what you were looking for!

[@heartymcfly]

@@HappyHydro thanks for the reply 🎉 it looks like they actually recommend 1.5 feet

[@Bravosierra175]

Recently purchased the ion frame evo4 300w from you guys; and I am new to growing wondering what is your reccomended heights and %s for that light for every stage? Looking for all the tips and assistance I can get, thanks for making it extremely easy.

[@HappyHydro]

Hey thanks for the support! It's not an exact science because each plant is different. But a quick and easy recommendation is about 12"-18" above the canopy at any stage. As well as 40% light output during seedling, 80% during vegetative growth, and 100% during flowering. Always keep an eye on your plants to see how they are reacting to the light. Such as if the seedlings look like they are elongating you may need to bring the light closer or turn up the intensity. Or if your plants are being scorched, move the light away or reduce the intensity. And don't forget that we are always here to help you grow!!

[@Bravosierra175]

@@HappyHydro I looked up the par chart for max for that light model. I'm confused on how to read it. Can you do the conversions? I have the light 36" away from canopy at setting 2 and still getting 200-300 par.

[@Bravosierra175]

@@HappyHydro you should make a video on the evo4 light if possible showing the different par levels to see how accurate it is to what they say. I'm using the paid photone app so I would expect it's probably off by a bit

[@HappyHydro]

@@Bravosierra175 Hey there! What target are you looking to hit? Are you trying to have less than 200 ppfd?

[@HappyHydro]

@@Bravosierra175 I will see what I can do!

[@TimBell-d3y]

Man im waiting on this joint to be delivered now, but i seen some shit about the spectrum reperesented only goes up to the evo4 and afterwardss has less red light? Wondering if i should supplement

[@HappyHydro]

hmm I haven't heard that yet but if I find anything out I'll let you know

[@dirtstalk]

I've read from other reviews that this light runs hotter than similar lights like it ,is this true ?

[@HappyHydro]

I am about to start a grow with this light so I will know for sure. It does have the removeable driver to help reduce heat output. Ill see what I can find out.

[@bgrimm4250]

I have this light in my 5x5 tent in my basement and the temp is 77° inside light on max output and ballast in tent. Carbon filter on lvl3 and fan on lvl2. I had to turn my 2nd fan off to keep Temps up.

[@HappyHydro]

@@bgrimm4250 Thanks for the info!!

[@ajcarlson2969]

Does anyone know why my ppfd is higher on my evo 3 then my evo 8 at same distances

[@orthmannmichael8152]

Wann in Deutschland erhältlich 😊

[@HappyHydro]

Ich bin nicht sicher!

[@sam5992]

There are not 2,688 LM301H Evo Diodes on this light, lmao. There are obviously some IR, 730 nm, 660 nm, etc that have different efficiencies. Why doesn't AC Infinity publish the total efficiency of this light? It's NOT 3.14 umol/J - that is only for the LM301H Evo LEDs.

[@tthtonekid]

Because it's not that efficient it's so funny seeing people tripping over themselves trying to explain why it's the best but you gotta push like 1400 ppfd in the center to get passable lighting at the edges.

[@Tossabrick]

Ac infinity stay winning

[@HappyHydro]

Yup!

[@christittle1131]

If your sensor isn’t epar one your not getting all the red far red in the par

[@HappyHydro]

I use an Apogee MQ-620 to do my PAR tests

[@jackbari8476]

746w pro hours oh shit its usa 12cent pro 1khw?

[@HappyHydro]

Pro hours?

[@jackbari8476]

@@HappyHydro yes ?

[@greauxdevil9270]

Trash uva diodes, useless, uvb is whats up,sold my ac infinity S44 light & bought the migro aray 5x5 , over 4200 leds, eats this things lunch, plus i run the migro UVB light as well

[@HappyHydro]

I dont believe that this light is useless but I have definitely heard good things about Migro as well!

[@jblaylock023]

The s44 cant compare to the evo8 ATALL.

[@terpymaddze4296]

did you check the led chips on the 5x5 aray? You'll need that led count buddy 😂
