kessil h380 demo and review.

Well I guess its a good day. Kessil hooked me up with 1 h380 to start from clone in a grow.

These are some brand new super power led penetrator lights. And I mean wow. 380 wats per 2 ft area. holy moly. with UV and IR. ok so enough of the blaa blaa. here the anticipated start of info.

initial transplant of clone and start up of new kessil h380

wow what a week . 1.5 weeks into flower and it was time to transplant already from solo cup to 3 gallon bag. bottomed out in 1 week. holy shit. ok , im impressed SO FAR, nothing in dry box yet.

5 inches and 6 inches of root growth in 1 week. I have nothing but 1 kessil h380. Thats it.
here is a pic. If you werent impressed yet. Kessil sent me another h380. holy god. I cant wait till next week.

note these lights have a selector for bloom and veg in one light. Dont go running out to the store to buy a new light just yet. Lets see how flower works out. I will keep this thread running best I can. To keep you guys updated. 1 h380 is almost 400.00 and only 2ft coverage. but the par is incredible. check out the temp and humidity in the room. this is actually a Ice fishing shanty I used for a temp grow room. it is actually doing rather well. this may become a permanent room.
stay thirsty my friends!!!

So have you verified with a meter that the H380 actually pulls 380W?

the meter showed a 1 amp draw.

But you chose not to click the button to find watts drawn??

what fucking button, whats your point? Did you not get an answer. The DRAW WAS ONE AMP. SO which is about 95 watts holy fuck . I didnt even need to look that up. If you want to make a point, have one.

I'm not familiar with the H380 but from your comment, sounds more like 90W per 2' x 2'. The plant growth is impressive though.

It is a strange duck for sure. it isnt a cree , it isnt a epistar. it must have 20 led's in 1 modular circuit. and a cone reflector on the inside. Im not a led farmer for sure . The only thing I really noticed is that one of the chips put out a monster par rating of about 2k in a sweet spot on the bottom. Im starting to think it would be good to set these at an angle. They sent me another light to add to the grow. I only split them up like we normally would. Im gonna leave it that way for a week . And then see if I cant get that one chip sent cross ways from both sides. I also noticed in the package kessil sent me. this was light 2 of 5 that they plan on sending me. So Looks like they are gonna keep sending me lights in an order for a reason. Again, I am not promoting this product or calling it superior or inferior. Someone is paying me to grow these for a reason. They say one of these lights is equivelent to a 300 watt hid. they are gonna give me 1500 watts of combined lights. If i get a lb per plant out of these lights. they arent getting them back.

Instead of paying people to test their lights they should lower then price down to where these are actually a viable Option

It's all advertising. Another note. What if they are good. Are they worth it for the power reduction. They end up paying for themselves. Also says 2 year warrranty. That's a first.
quality isn't cheap. Let's see what happens before we call them great.

Apparently Taiwanese FiberPotics are expensive to produce?

Yes . They are. Notice it isn't China. If you know anything about electronics Taiwan has highest standards in Asia.

By the way the 350 is different chipsets and the 380 is 20% stronger.

So how did u like the 350

https://www.rollitup.org/attachments/image-jpg.3446682/

the 350... 54 V * 1,6 A = 86,4 W (Dissipation W) (...i missing leds and driver efficiency at 1,6 A and 50ºC) to obtain PAR W....)

http://www.kessil.com/horticulture/H380.php

the 380... 19 V * 4,74 A = 90,06 W (Dissipation W) (...i missing leds and driver efficiency at 4,74 A and 50ºC to obtain PAR W....)

....maybe im too much today...

pd...felicidades hoy si te llamas Juan o John... ...a por la cervecita fresquita.... mmmm... salud... cheerss

pd1... note... i like kessil style too ...modular... whith spinner... ...new controller...but i prefer diy... im not in war with monochromatics... i like both ways...

hey at 175 each for 350m/p is it better to get 2 350s@$350 or 1 380$@300, from a price vs performance standpoint? Have you used the 350s at all?
