Floraflex 700W LED grow light review

[@marksteps1712]

always love Shane reviewing lights, watched the innovation of led fixtures evolve and Shane's kept them honest for a loooong time

[@simonmarks1545]

I just got one of your Array 4's. The quality is amazing and I'm so happy with my purchase. I'm now toying with the idea of getting another one and running two 60 x 120 tents next to each other. Cheers Shane! Keep up the good work

[@apeacefulgrower]

Thanks for all your hard work, we appreciate it 🙏

[@M4KERB]

buddy of mine grabbed 2 of these for the shop based on my recommendation, they're used keeping our moms alive and sit at 50% for that, great lights.

[@tonyfanfarone]

Just want to say thanks to Shane for the Migro Array 4. My first grow and the plant is loving it. About to flip into flower tomorrow. The growth has surprised me for certain.

[@410520]

Thank you Shane 🙏, it is very much appreciated 😁

[@GroHighO1]

Thanks for the review shane i would love for you to add in for all your grow light tests one at 50 percent power and at 60-80 percent power many others dont set there lights to 100% to increase the life of the diodes

[@Sache0190]

Insane value right there. Got my Aray 4x4 for about 3 months and would not trade it for anything though. Extremely high built quality and perfect light spread.

[@HomeGrow420-r1k]

These flights are amazing

[@MrsRabbit8]

Thank you for this review, i really appreciate it.

[@JesseJames83]

I've been holding off because the price is too good to be true. I want to see other brands match value.

[@DJPrince317]

The price good enough to grab this and try another one for the price of 1 700watt light in my opinion.

[@stangcobra592]

Did you see the 18" and 24" numbers? I have Mars Hydro Bars in 3 of my tents and have friends with AC EVO's, these brands wish they could achieve those 24" readings, their putting out serious light. The one thing I'm not a huge fan of is the heavy blue in the spectrum, it does have plenty of far red though which is most important in flower stage.

[@DJPrince317]

@@stangcobra592 I plan to run it for my flower tent anyway. Based on the spectrum. Where it can be closer and take in all the reds it offers. I also run a mars hydro in my veg tent. Like I said before it serves a good price and purpose needs depending on the grower.

[@bigdaddybrad100]

I just got one of these and i think its a great bang for buck and am sure it will produce excellent results . only vegging w it rt now as im in the middle of flower . way sturdier than i expected , easy to assemble . currently running the new medic grow fold 800 w awesome results but needed and external controller for the fold800 . both are imo the best bang for buck on the market . i have not gone above 85% w the fold 800 yet in my non co2 grow .

[@Growinfire]

Definitely a nice looking light…rocking my aray 1 and 2 currently.

[@brettmoore3194]

Price is a plus, wish you did a spectrum analysis. All grow lights should have 2% 360nm and 10% 720nm in my opinion

[@stangcobra592]

He did, he showed it on his phone.

[@RayGreyfox]

How is their customer service? I tried medic grow that was great bang for buck but if something goes wrong its hell and high water to get them to honor warranty. Always enjoy your stuff and thank you for doing what you do!!!

[@FloraFlexCustomerCare]

5 year warranty, just email / call if you need a part replaced. Yes this is FloraFlex - we like Shane's videos too!

[@harryramsbottom1385]

I'd like to see a led bar produced that compliments the spectrum of CMH. I'm thinking something like 2800k high red would boost the cmh significantly. The new deep red adlite bars from mars hydro seem like a decent addition to boost a cmh setup, but something designed specifically for cmh would sell a lot I'm sure

[@kurtscreations6681]

Just ordered one to try out. Heck $337 is a steal. The light already paid for itself 😂

[@hotdogsarepropaganda]

coming from the PC gaming and modding space, adding aluminum heatsinks is pretty cheap but it only matters if they are getting over their rated temps. I know every one loves the Samsung nodes but I have 3 lights 1 with and two without, growth is the same

[@TrollHunterxXx]

Bought the pro grow 1800 … they work as advertised … can’t find them anymore lol … this one is cheaper … looking to pick up a few of these… I think they are all pretty close to each other … looks like it runs hot though

[@PhantomPain74]

Thanks as always .....

[@AtzeD109]

I'm with you on the wing nuts but i wouldn't agree that noone get's the spread right. Viparspectra did a pretty good job with their KS3000/5000 and the Aray Series also have very good spread.

[@stangcobra592]

?? I'm confused did you see the 18 and 24 graph, those numbers are insane.

[@hotdogsarepropaganda]

@@stangcobra592 have you seen the even distribution of viaparspectra lights? its nuts, corners are just as well lit as the middle, very even spread. these lights are impressive and im not knocking them, would absolutely love this light if I had a 4x4, its got a good coverage but its crazy to me to see corner PPFD on some other brand models as low as 400 when at 12 inches, like thats terrible and those fixtures are easily twice the price of the one in this video

[@MichaelTysons]

Hi Shane, love the videos, could you test the barrina t8 2Ft 5000k white grow light thx

Really enjoying your analysis videos, any chance you might return to Mammoth lighting and review the 880w fixture?

[@francisjackson5613]

Shane will you be testing the new lumatek fixtures any time soon that is the 600w 3.1 and the 1000w 3.1 Evo?

[@Ridvepis]

He already did the zeus 600w 3.1

[@johnbrisbin3626]

Is the dimmer adjustment continuous and just labeled by 1/4s or 1/4s by switch detents? If I can set the PPFD with just a knob rather than knob and height adjustment, I prefer it.

[@timpage5021]

Even if one bought it and replaced the driver with a Meanwll or Inventronics it still be a great deal. It looks like the Sunraise QB or Lenofocus from about 5 years ago.,

Some1 help. Has any1 ever used adjusta watt 720 watt led or the omega black 720 ? They can't be hung lower then 24 inches cause leafs curl. I don't understand how led lights can be hung closer

[@freedom_born]

Nice. The wingnuts are prob an example of why it's only .50c per watt. 😅 Those heatsinks prob top out at 60°C if it's true 730W. Cos my FC4800 tops out approx 58°C.

[@JoshParkin-i4w]

Hi Shane, it’s a long shot but I don’t know where else to ask I’m the hopes of such an educated reply I am just wondering if you know anything around combining led with hps? As I have a 300w Mars hydro and I just want to boost that up without spending cash on a new led fixture as I already have a spare HPS (just for now until I can get a new high watt LED) So I guess my question is, would a 300w led being backed up by a hps work? Or would it cause unforeseen issues that I don’t know about it Any help or a response would be greatly appreciated, and Thankyou for what you do for the community

[@SP-vg6jt]

I have a Mars Hydro 480w in my 5x10 along with this 700w flora flex light.. they connect perfectly but the flora flex is knocking mars hydro out of the park.

[@JoshParkin-i4w]

@@SP-vg6jt thanks for the reply mate, im looking to get a 720 LED after this run once I have the funds, as I prefer LED for heat control... but just for this current run I'm struggling to find answers about mixing LED and HPS as I'm getting close to flip My hps is dual spectrum and 600w so i think maybe I should just use that over the combination of the 300w LED and and 600w HPS? I'm vegging with the LED at the moments and the girls are praying every day so they are definitely happy, I just don't know if switching or combining lights would be beneficial? Any thoughts on that mate? My instinct tells me just use the 600w but another opinion on the matter would be great Any help would be appreciated

Is super flimsy and not very well made the first one I put together. I broke the boss on the driver that the thumb screw screws into. And what diodes are they using to get that price down. I don’t think they are Samsung. No advertisements on box or website. In my honest opinion they should bring back the other fixtures, but make it with a removable driver and a more fuller spectrum and they would’ve killed the game. And when they say custom diodes they mean “cheap”…. And the reason is Samsung fan boys are so about them is because they are the best. And I think that’s an American thing. Overall this light sucks compared to others of the same power draw

Don´t want to be a bummer but seriously @AllGrowLightMakers : you´re making indoor lights the replace the sun, what´s so hard to understand about 700mol delta between high- and low- peak is inacceptable? You´re making freaking indoor lamps, make the light EVEN for the area it´s ment to be used on, 100mol delta for low- high peaks is hwat we´re LOOKING FOR, FOR THE IDEAL GROW LIGHT! What´s so hard to get about that and why are manufactures still trying to charge top $ for poorly designed light solutions? At this point I´m thinking of making my own grow-light, I´m going to spent at least as much as for a same sized MarsHydro while having way better light quality, but I might end up spending SanLight money (not even talking all the labor work for building and maybe programming, but what´s to programm for a single tent setup. Making me wondering: what is daisy-chaining actually good for on lamps aimed at the end consumer? Why would commercial growers daisychain those lamps instead of getting way more powerful commercial lamps in the first place? One shoe doesn´t fit all you gotta decide if your lamp is made for kids (home growers), adults (criminal underground growers) or professionals who have all the space and money needed. DEI= death of a company because one shoe just doesn´t fit everyone! Why does the selfclaimed "crown of evolution" needs that much explaining and still doesn´t understand it?

[@johnroehsler6440]

Half 😅

[@Tonnsfabrication]

You'll have half the light, half the heat and half the engergy usage. The question is what do you want to do with it and where do you plan to use it. Placing it in a tent is way different than an open room and it ties into the amount of plants you plan to grow with it. I run 400 watts in a 4x4 used for veg and it does well.
