Lighting CREE FLOODLIGHT

[Megrow]

Hey guys,

Just wondering what you think of this light.

Amazon product ASIN B01MG21NRF
50w (tthink it has 10 5w chips - 120degrees angle) I worked out that at 28cm height it is 50w per square metre. I will add more lights as the plant grows.

should be recieving it in the post today. Will let you know how it goes.

I am using this as it looks like it may give most bang for buck. True 50w = £23

Poor man grow

It will grow, but you will need to remove lenses for best output. Also be sure to put a fan blowing across, they get really hot. I used a cheaper version and it went out in a month or so.

They just arent made for 18hrs of being on, i found some 100w delight led Hibay for 100 USD on auction site that claim 27000 lumens per light. But I couldn't take the chance and bought 4 qb120 v2 for 130 USD

Thanks stillsmokin

Yea I will see if the glass comes off easy, have a clip on fan to cool

They have at least a years warranty so can replace if it fails

This has to be better than cfl?

Way better than CFL for sure, and the cheaper one I bought was really bright, but really hot and I believe that's what made it burn out.

You live and learn, had many ppl tell me to spend the money on a good light and go cheap on nutes. Did I listen... No, but sometimes you must learn the hard way. Now 6 different light setups later I've settled that cob and qb are best.
