180w cob led spider growing light

Chilidude · Feb 11, 2018

Very sturdy looking/feeling grow led light, very high quality stuff i would say by the looks of it. Those two domes looks to be made from glass like material and the suspension system is very strong looking too:

The fans in this one are pretty quiet too:

My smartphone camera cant handle the brightness of the growing light and for naked eye, the color is more like whitish red this time around and not the kind of red color you usually see with the older led growing lights:

I was just looking at some spider lights, but they were $3000!

Then you looked at the wrong ones, as this one was only 200 euros with a really nice discount and original price was at 300 euros.

This look pretty good:

200w is only 315 dollars with CREE CXB3590 and 100w one is 168 dollars, so that seems to be the good stuff you want to take a closer look and if you want to get any real result out of these cob leds, stay well away from the cheaper stuff.

Update:

180w gob led spider seems to be so much more powerful than the previous led growing lights, that most of the c.baccatum chilis have developed sunburn like issues on the old leaves and this is about 50-55cm distance away from the light.

That’s probably because of the magnifying lenses on them. Those are the same lenses used in projection headlamps on late model cars. I have a drawer full of those lenses that I removed from headlight assemblies.

Well i have rised the growing light to the distance of 60cm above the chilis to see how will they respond, as too intense light can actually be detrimental for the optimal grow of the plants.

I have been keeping the growing light about 60cm above the chilis and this is the results thus far:

Tallest is only about 11cm now after i buried all of the stems inside the growing medium and they growing very compact. Few of the c.baccatum are already wanting to start forming flowers when they are still so small, thus forming very stocky bushy chili plants in the end.

I am going to give this growing light Chilidude's:
