Hey Tom some of the boys here are pretty good at making their own cob lighting . do you see that in the future of your company ??

 

[PlatinumLEDTom]

so i always wanted to know if there are quality parts used. So i iask right away, what LED's do you use? Whats their wattage ( voltage, current )? any datasheets?

We always use top bin LEDs from US Manufacturers. We use all 3w LEDs with the exception of the XML Series lights, that also include the CREE 10W White LED. We found we got the best combination of intensity and heat with the 3w LEDs when we ran them at 65%.

Our drivers are top quality and set to a static 650mA. They are also auto sensing and can be run at 100-240V. We get them from a variety of manufacturers to make sure we get the nanometer range we want for our 12 band spectrum.

We don't share the companies of the LED's we use, because its proprietary and there is a lot of competition out there. But our main focus we we had these lights designed was on PAR output and spectrum efficiency.
