NextLight

Hello everyone!

I visited the local hydroponics store earlier today, to pick up some top soil, and much to my surprise, an unfamiliar LED lighting fixture was set up in a grow tent!

After discussing the fixture with one of the store's employees, I found out that the fixture came out of one of their stores in Kentucky, bringing with it great reviews. However, Tom could not determine which brand of LEDS were being implemented with the lighting fixture.

Their website doesn't seem to be well established in google's search database, so here is the the URL from the product's brochure:

Has anyone heard or even tried these lights out?

The birdhouse is pretty well known. Can't recall the LEDS...

have no experience with these lights.

but from a quick glance, looks like an array of chips or something similar.

- a little heavy in the green in the spectrum and low on UVA, deep red, and far red.

- I think the charts on the website are playing % vs. real output tricks. I believe the chart with the green line overlapping the HPS spectrum is misleading, since the high peak in hps (just under 600nm) in real relative quanta terms goes way above the the same peak in the next light. Comparative charts corrected for differences in "100%" needed. lol I swear I'm not from missouri

- from the footprints they supplied looks Like I would need at least two units to fill a 5x5 tent, and possibly two units to replace a 1K HPS.

Matches a 1000W HPS?

so how did they manage to use 500+ watts with that kind of output ?

I also found this in their ABOUT section:

"Having worked in the grow light industry a decade ago, Nick had already seen the quest for the “perfect spectrum” and found it to be a gimmick rather than a scientific pursuit. With all of this in mind, Nick went in a completely different direction, seeking to make his lights as close to HPS as possible."

I've seen that light before. If I'm not mistaken, it uses 2700-3000k 5w Cree LEDs. Not sure which ones though.

There's a thread somewhere...

These guys requested to follow me on instagram. I ended up asking what emmiters/bin they use and this was their response..."We use a warm white Cree XML2" that's it
