COB LEDs VS Other Types of Grow Lights

COB light is something that suits all the growers who are looking for the best product of the market and ready to spend the right amount of bucks too. It provides higher-density light and pure full light spectrum as well. As COB is a modern lighting technology, it consumes and uses all the energy, and that's why it produces less amount of heat. It's small in size, but still, it has a fantastic lifespan of 50k to 60k hours. It is quite expensive but deserves every penny of the money.
HPS grow light one of the most famous grows light in the market. It is known for its perfect and stronger light intensity. It has short light spectrum, and it consumes high-heat. It is quite large. It can run up to fifty thousand hours. It isn't that expensive. According to the price range, it is suitable for intermediates.Points for COB LEDs: 22Where do COB LEDs beat HPS?

When it comes to high indoor grow lights, CMH is something that we see in the list. It is known for its extended spectrum. But the light intensity of it isn't that high. It doesn't produce a massive amount of heat, but still, it's quite big. The lifespan of it is around 20,000-25,000 hours which isn't that bad. According to the pricing range, it's also perfect for intermediates.Points for COB LEDs: 22Where does COB LEDs beat CMH?

CFL grow light
When you're looking for something within the low price, CFL grows lights are first in the list. It has low-level light-intensity and tiny light spectrum. As it sounds like less powerful, it produces less heat too. It is small in size. It can perform 7,000 to 12,000 hours. According to the price range and configuration, it's good for small growers.Points for COB LEDs: 22Where does COB LEDs beat CFL?

Are you looking for something average? Then MH is something that suits your requirement. CMH doesn't have deep light intensity, but it has a high light spectrum. It is large and consumes the right amount of energy. For a reason, the MH light produces more heat. It can run up to 12k to 17k hours. It's available within an average price range.Points for COB LEDs: 22Where does COB LEDs beat MH?

Confusion cleared: COB vs. SMD
Am I a hypocrite? Well, no! SMD light has some similarities with it, but COB is the updated version indeed. For saving all of you from buying SMD grow light by mistaken, I am writing this. Still, I don't discourage people from getting SMD. SMD is good too. So, here are the differences between COB and SMD.
  • COB has more LEDs in it which SMD doesn't, even in the same size panel.
  • COB light has higher intensity, more profound and stronger brightness in it.
  • COB isn't bulky where SMD is.
  • COB produces less heat than SMD.
  • SMD permits you to change the colors where COB doesn't.
  • SMD has a better spectrum and lightning coverage.
  • SMD has better penetrate rate.

Buying Guide for COB LED Grow Lights When deciding which COB LED grow light to buy, there are important factors to consider and questions to ask. This guide will give you clarity and help you to decide which light is best for your specific requirements. Here’s what to look for. 1. Full Spectrum For plants to grow well, they require a particular range of light spectrum. Outdoors, natural light from the sun provides plants with a full spectrum for their growth. Indoors, LED grow lights provide plants with optimum light wavelengths. This optimal range is commonly known as PAR (photosynthetically-active radiation). This spectrum has wavelengths between 400nm and 720nm. Plants typically use red light (620nm-700nm) and blue light (400nm-500nm) wavelengths in the highest concentrations. For this reason, the performance of COB LED grow lights should be measured in relation to PAR instead of lumens. A handy device called a PAR meter can help you measure the PAR output of your g...

Amare SolarEclipse VS Lifted LED COB LED Grow Light

图片
Amare Technology SolarEclipse 500W LED Grow Light The SolarECLIPSE SE500+UVB is one of Amare's latest LED panels, featuring enhanced White-Light technology, and six powerful High-Intensity COB LED grow light -emitters housed in a patented reflector array with removable secondary optics. The Amare SolarECLIPSE SE500 LED grow light contains CREE CXB3070 or Citizen CLU-08 chips and CREE XP-C2/XPE2 supplemental diodes. Amare featured the first and only hybrid COB/monochrome enhanced white spectrum. Using 5 watt diodes, Amare fills in and boosts the superior spectrum more than typical blurple (red/blue based) spectrum with an exceptional CRI of 94, the highest for any commercial lighting, even surpassing the excellent CMH/LEC. ...What this means is that Amare covers the entire 380-740 PAR spectrum, including UV/IR with a 50%+ spectrum efficiency vs. ~20% for the typical blurple spectrum. The result is explosive growth and flowering results demonstrated by many documented grows on...

WHY SHOULD YOU OPT FOR LEDS? Energy Efficient LED grow lights are the best epitome of energy optimization. They fetch less power and delivers more output. Therefore, LEDs are a natural replacement for old school HIDs like HPS/MH. Eco-Friendly LEDs are like a small harmless, innocent baby. They affect the things, people, and the environment the least. Effective Heat dissipation One issue that growers always had with HID like HPS/MH is the lack of proper heat management as the temperature of the grow space would rise exponentially. But, thankfully, LED manufacturers realized that ‘Change is the need of the hour‘ and they have introduced various effective heat dissipation mechanisms like cooling fans in the LEDs. Adjustable-spectrum Flexibility is the need of the hour and much-required trait in almost every field. The LEDs, too, have adapted the trait seamlessly. The LED manufacturers have introduced various switch options to cater to the varying spectrum needs of the growers...
