Timber LED Interview Live Stoners 29th Sept 2107

[Gauge Steel]

We have a winner St. Tom the T-shirt is yours bro!
I hope the wife loves it! Send me a PM with your addy and I'll get it sent to you!

@RainDan
Welcome sir!
First question, what is the difference between COB vs a traditional LED panel?

Good question - one we get a lot. The traditional LED Panel uses 1-5 watt diodes (LEDs) whereas a COB is a bunch of LEDs in a small form factor with a phosphor overlay.

Live led tech talk come on over cob snobs!

Welcome here @RainDan !! Looking forward to reading all this later. Have to miss this for a meeting... Grrr.
Peace.

@St. Tom

A 400 Watt COB light will output roughly the same amount of PPF as a 600 W HPS ( slightly more with the COB).

Welcome to AFN---->DaN!!!!

Winner again @St. Tom You mustn't be stoned enough...

Hi @RainDan
Great to have you hear.
My question is how do the Vero 29 vary from the CXB3590.
I also see you do a hyper red light, what would be the benefits be for a grower using these?

The Vero 29 and the CXB3590 have very similar spectral characteristics. They do differ in a couple of respects:

1. Cree does binning, whereby they test the COBs during the manufacturing process to assess lumen output and efficiency. This code is called a bin code - we purchase top binned Cree CXB3590. Vero29 are not binned.
2. The Vero 29 COBs we use are a high efficiency COB, running at 100 watts/COB vs 50 Watts/COB in the case of the Cree, generating very similar efficiency. This makes the Vero29 lights a slightly better value as they require less materials for the same power output.

Hi @TheMongol

Thanks for having me - excited to be here today!

Welcome @RainDan Glad you could join us..
I'm putting this in my Christmas list...

Welcome @RainDan

In the near future I am thinking about switching from LEDs to COBs. Heard a lot of good things about them. Looking forward to this interview

Hello @Wawashell
Thanks for having me today - happy to answer any questions you might have !
