i didn't have enough money to buy a real grow light a while back, and made my own out of cheap 12watt led bulbs, and one cheap trifold garage led light that was like 35watts or something. It was 6,500k and then i used two of the 2,700k 12watt led bulbs tucked in next to it. I took the covers and diffusers off of them, and built a shroud out cardboard and heavy duty aluminum foil. And i have to be honest, i was amazed. Never seen anything like that before, lol. Everyone in the "gardening, vegetables, seedlings world"...always used 5000k or 6500k and that was it. I noticed that the plants using just the 5k did Not grow as much as the ones under 6500k. There wasn't enough Blue in the 5000k, and it dang sure didn't have enough Red. I found it was afterall, the Blue in the 6500k led lights that were making the plants grow. But only half-assed, lol. No wonder folks used them to start seedlings. They had enough blue to make them grow. But when i added the 2700k right next to the 6500k tightly spaced....oh whoa, my gosh the plants started growing like crazy and looking very healthy and shaped the right shape. With the full spectrum led technology 6500k and 2700k they were getting their much needed Reds and Blues and loving the colors inbetween by mixing those two kelvins together. All i know is this much..my little home made grow light makes plants grow like crazy, and that's all i know, lol.

[@dr.davidbannerf.e.s.6217]

According to my logics, an led grow light with a high CRI value of 90 + and having exactly 50/50 ratio of 2,700k and 6500k leds....would grow some plants like crazy. And the overall shape would be healthy and symmetrical. Because an even amount of Reds and Blues would be feeding the plant, with the greens and everything else. If you wanted a Bloom enhancer option, then let it crank up several more 2,700k and maybe a few deep red leds, to maybe make the ratio of Reds to Blues around 75% Reds, and 50% Blues... I noticed the plants didn't grow as much under 3000k because they didn't get enough Reds. I noticed the plants didn't grow as much under 5000k because they didn't get enough Blues.

Literally my go-to for light reviews. Glad you tried this one out, I've been seeing their lights around lately. Great stuff man!

[@NXTLVLOG]

I took the acrylic covers off and got 15% more efficiency 🔥

[@MikeParentLeap]

You’re the Gold Standard regarding light information. 👏👏👏

[@SpywareEverywhere]

I'm pretty sure that you could beat the 2.22 PPFD if you removed the acrylic covers. At 1:27 you can see the diodes reflecting back up off of the plastic. It's nice to have the protection but I would take them off. It might mess with the warranty, so be aware of that.

[@kenjido69]

Even a greater deal at $265 with tax just got another to run 2 in my 4x8

[@kenjido69]

Appreciate all you do Shane, when it's time to upgrade my veg lights I'll support and buy migro lights. Being a newbie, all your info helped starting out!

Dread to think how many hrs av spent researching Led's😲😲awh man!!!🤣🤣✊🏻🍁✌🏼

[@apeacefulgrower]

[@winstonpratt604]

With 756 diodes in every 150 quantum board on the O series I think I would go that route 😀😄 So 4 of those together or even 6 would go super hard I would imagine

[@georgelovesdirt]

The O series is sooooooo slept on right now. It’s powerful enough to use in commercial applications but they messed up really badly by making them without external buttons for dimming or on/off or jacks. I have 2x now and they are BEASTING!!!! 150 watts in that tiny frame. They are bright AF and penetrate deep. Tons of undergrowth. Such a sick light even with its networking limits. Best light on the market for home growers. $480 shipped for a 600 watt modular light set that will absolutely beam tf out of your plants. Latest spectrum too, they have the IR diodes.

[@winstonpratt604]

@@georgelovesdirt how hot do they run is my ???

[@georgelovesdirt]

@@winstonpratt604 I’m gunna be honest they run pretty hot and it would have been waaaaaay better if they had given them remote drivers. Nothing proper ventilation can’t handle. I was growing back in the CMH era so the heat is easy for me to handle, still not nearly as bad as HIDs. The drivers might be able to be rigged up to be remote, they look like they are just bolted to the board. The lights come with little clamps to latch them together but if you used threaded metal dowels and Allen bolts you could bolt them together in the same 2x2 orientation but spaced out to cover 5x5 and it would still have wild numbers and also help with heat dissipation. It has a protective lens but it is easily removable and the numbers would be even higher. Absolutely insane lights

[@maddpharmer2045]

Shane thanks for the review I just wanted to let you know I’ve been watching for a few years now and every light review you put out I try to watch even if I’m not in the market for a light Just to obtain a little extra knowledge thanks for all your hard work the community is lucky to have someone with such a reputation Dropping knowledge on the weekly

[@craigengelman4534]

for what this light WAS its to bad it was so dim . dec 2022 these were $240 and 2 weeks later gone . i got lucky and got the square ones with the pot not the app . they were sold for 2 weeks at $44 each i got 8 of them now . its feb 2023 and they are at $60 on that jungle site . fyi i had to add 2 sunblaze41 with a 10k / uv bulb to make the lights work 100 percent . the fixture was $20 and bulb was $15 each . i had 3 marshydro ts1000 and now this set up my plants are growing like crazy !

[@2003Harleyguy]

Link to the 640 on Amazon not working. Only shows up to 600w light. Good review as usual. Thanks

[@tgitsmydad2156]

Wow the par chart and thus the average par was higher and better with the cheaper and more unique Alibaba light for only $420.00 US. That's why we love your honesty Shane.

[@SpywareEverywhere]

Those covers are definitely hurting the numbers.

[@interdimensionaldrift]

@@SpywareEverywhere So I should remove them?

[@TheMagnificentPuertoRican]

​@@interdimensionaldriftyes

[@timpage5021]

Shane if you remove 1 of the bars does it still push all the power to the test of the bars and overdrive the chips like the old Fluence?

[@Bennyfinklestienfurtrapper]

I believe u can only remove bars that are on The same driver so you loose the watts that the driver that runs the 2 bars you remove produces being that the light is 640 with 6 Bars so you will drop the power to about 430 watts with 4 bars

[@mexemsu.g.d.975]

Great review. It really seems that the multiple bar led lights are the popular design nowadays! I've got 7 different lights running now. Love to see the difference between them in quality ,weight , ect. 👍

Most every other space was high 8 and 900 I try setting the lights at the best height to have uniform coverage for flower. Setting to reach 1000 in the center made for too many hot spots over a 1000 and low on the edges. 800 is bout where I like push it for flower in a sealed space like a tent without c02.
