The data IS on other forum, posted as spreadsheets for anyone to read. The results of any "calculator" are based on manufacter's data that varies, sometimes substantially, from real world data. It pays to go looking. The Citi 1212 curent gen ( there is no current gen 3070, its end cycle) is more efficient and cheaper, and also has an edge on ppf. The 3590 is still a good chip, and the price has dropped a bit so its a toss up between it and the citi 1818, which is only a few dollars cheaper.

Yea, I've heard this too. From people who want to believe what other member on other forum says. So until someone don't upload real data, this PCT calculator is holy grail and only truth.
It's same story with Citizen, people who have them says that are more efficient than Citizen test shows. But again, no measurable data on this, so take it as it is.
Bottom line, all these COBs are good, difference at efficiency from 0.5A to 2A is minimal between each other. They all grow great plants.

Robin posted some sphere data on that "other" forum...lol! They have their own sphere now!!!

I thought they had the spherical test data out already? Could be wrong but I believe growmau5 just did an interview with robyn from northern grow lights and he had some testing done with sphere. I believe it was citizen/cree and the quantum board. I could be wrong it was a very long interview. I could also be missing the whole point of the conversation lol.

Thanks Pop. I've used them enough to know the investment is worth it and most of what you read about them is true. I still have only heard of one person not be impressed and that wasn't a full test either.

It hasn't always been easy though. I still remember the message I sent you in panic when I ran something like 4.8 amps through those Cree 1212's no clue why they caught fire.

Thank dudeski. My first light were rather risky and yes very expensive. Cobs have dropped in price quite a bit in the past year or so.

As for the 1212's... they didn't make it. I learned from it and that's why I made the thread on wiring in series vs paralell in the DIY section. It's best to learn from others mistakes.
