Definitely no broke, maybe forgetful....
Bomb drop on the led purists - these babies are vegging under a 2 year old 600W Hortilux Blue MH
HLG550 vs Gavita? Anyone with experience with either/both?

Nope, never seen that before nor that inda grow LED light. Though im well aware of their induction stuff. What am I supposed to be looking at exactly lol? The inda grow is using 50% more energy to provide like 15% more light. Still looks interesting though.
edit: I'm guessing you linked that because of what they mention about PPFD? That's why i mentioned the HLG 550 has a way better spectrum than a DEHPS in relation to the PPFD stuff.
nice link of info, can you share what conclusion i should get from this in terms of the topic on hand?

different light altogether and you need to concentrate on your canopy.Definitely no broke, maybe forgetful....

If a 600 QB can replace a 1k Gavita its a big deal. Opens up the door for people with large room but little height to go up to the next level and fairly efficiently in the scheme of things.

Lol what the fuck.... not only does chilled have it spelled gravita once, but over and over and over and over again... How could they make that error?
edit: Though I am surprised to see they have their own integrating sphere... Man id kill to have one of those lol. Such a useful piece of equipment.

Im stretching 1 gavita 750 (max 850w)
Over an 8x8.(7.5x6) and so far its working
Of course i could get more or bigger if i stuffed more light in there but i want to know what ONE can do
Feel free to find my journal
All that said.
For a gavita you need at least an 8 ft set up
But they dont run hotter then a normal 1k
Like i said im not trying to grow lettuce and i know my space can use more light.
But so far so good ... also i use them in the winter for a heat source.
I want to build a full strip build for summer runs though if i dont go outdoors to save power

Oh shit my bad. Didn't realize they were independent lab reports.

Up high but usually overlapping multiple lights also. I think you'll only see a single light being used in a tall tent or small grow room with reflective walls.

Can we see your grow with the DE and the HLG light?

Have any you hlg550 users heard of the Gavita Pro M110 DE SR??

Dont have either, im using raw data to make these conclusions. The HLG 600H puts out 1450 PPF, and cree tested the Gavita Pro 1000w DEHPS and got 1830 PPF (a bit less than the 1900 or so gavita lists). Then when you factor in the spectrums of the two, it can be assumed that the HLG 600H is definitely a comparable light. PAR isnt everything, the spectrum is very important too. Not to mention the HLG can be placed much closer to your plants than a DEHPS due to the heat a dehps puts off, though in an OPEN grow room this doesnt matter much.
But you can go over and check out some of the threads where people are swapping from DE to COBs/QBs and take a look.

So you're giving someone advice on pure speculation and with no experience using either of the two lights? Well that's just great isn't it.......

I mean I hope OP makes their own conclusions from the data.... They mentioned 3 pounds or so per 4x4 table using DEHPS, which has been done using about the same watt per square foot with less efficient LEDs many times....

The title of the thread states he's looking for people with exp using the lights and you have not used either. Don't you think it would have been important to disclose that?
