Retired Live Stoners Gossip April May 2017

Remember to factor in that the savings go a little beyond just the watts at the wall of the lights themselves. Since they are higher efficiency and using less watts, they are also producing less heat. So less ventilation needed, less A/C to counter the heat generated by the lights, etc..etc.... :smoking:

Excellent point! Also....the quality (longevity) should be factored in, also. My mars light is losing a diode approximately every two months.....

I think it is important to factor in lifespan as well. How many HPS or MH bulbs will you need to cover the lifespan of the average COB. That is a big savings.

Great minds.....

Yep, that too. I have some heat issues in my tent so the lowered heat signature is nice. And, not to sound like an infomercial for @BigSm0 's stuff, but another thing that sold me on the autocob was the low weight and modularity. I have chronic back and neck injuries, and sometimes even holding up one of my Mars 300's to get it situated in the tent is a bitch. Having a few small lights I can sling up fairly easily is worth a lot to me.

I don't think there is anything wrong with supporting a fellow AFN'r.

COB's are not for everyone. But for those of us that see the light...

Beat me!
I was just going to say that. Premium quality HPS bulbs ain't cheep especially 1000 watters!

Morning Stoners! All this talk about cobs and no money to spend. I watched the video yesterday on converting marshydro lights to cobs, it didn't look too hard.

There's a video ?

Oh, I know. I just didn't want to come off all:

So LED has a power consumption rating that corresponds with their projected longevity??

Meaning - a 300watt led actually pulls 150, and they're rated for 50000 hours, but start crapping out in a year


I think I've got it now. Well the idea, not the $£€¥
