So, no wattage given before you make the plunge? I read your post thoroughly man, no need to quote it, I didn't miss it

$1000 really isnt that bad either, considering how much some of the led panels are going for.

Sorry about that Adam. Further details are listed in the company information package I was sent. I'll provide you with a link via PM.

I wish some one would test this already.

We'll get there.

I found that to be pretty interesting... in the aspect that the output is scalable via wattage. Sooo in my eye, you might be able to run 250w for veg, and then run it up as you want for bloom. That sir, would be badass.

I analyzed the early specs of the LIFI, the 6400K model with 250w max and 35Klm.

It must be confirmed for the final specs, and i expect more complete ones when they start selling it on a final configuration. There are some questions they must explain way better, as the losses on the RF unit, degradation with aging, etc.

But it seems a very good technology, with excelent energy efficiency: 52% of burned watts emited as PAR watts (38% for best HPSs), about 40% more efficients than 600w HPS.

It produces 16 uE/Klm, similar lo sunlight (12 for HPS), 240lm for each PAR watt.

But it has some weak points for using it as growing light: spectrum distribution not seem optimal at all, with a Red/Blue ratio of 2.5, typical of vegging lights. Just 22.6% of PAR on the red side (over 600nm) appear too bluish for a flowering light.

Phytochrome stationary equilibrium is 0.78, on the limit of what botanist consider valid for growing lamps (0.75), and far for equilibrium on most used growing lamps: all MH, HPS and floros are over 0.8 and most of them over 0.84. It may result on delayed flowering and more stretching than with current used lights.

But probably the increased efficiency compensate for it, but surely it wont work fine as only source of lighting on flowering. But it should work very well together with a HPS lamp.

Im very interested on your results if you take a unit, krimzon. Please report your opinion on this lamp if you test it.

Thank you for breaking that down.

I will tell you one thing about my testing. I will test the lamp alone in both a flowering and vegetative system. I did this with the LED UFO and the LED Procyon 100 with fantastic results.

I expect this to perform quite well, but I would agree with your statement about supplementary lighting. At the end of the day it's hard to match out good old HID lights.

You're absolutely right man! I had not even thought about that. Furthermore you could probably scale it down further for cloning if need be.

Hello, If you would like some info regarding the LG Electronics Sulfur Plasma Lights..Please send me a PM.

Thanks
