ChilLED Growcraft ULTRA X3 330w PAR Test & Review

- I have seen the future of horticultural lighting… and it is BRIGHT!
The new ChilLED Growcraft ULTRA X3 330w Prototype 1 is the most efficient grow light. The engineers at ChilLED set out to demonstrate what is possible with efficacy. It led them to create this “concept light” which blows every other fixture away. It will come at a steep price, but it is an exciting sign for the future of horticultural lighting!
In this review, I do an unboxing, show the setup, and run it through four different PAR tests in two different coverage areas. It did better than I thought possible! This is a remarkable fixture!

Fantastic review. I could see all of the hard work you put in doc. Love my Chilled X6. Growers love!
Love this light ..best led on the market in my opinion
Yours is the best LED testing channel on RUclips. Keep up the good work!
yours truly,
a coco coir grower with a SP3000 :)
peace
Thank you! Grower Love
coco,youre blown away every time when u do measurment.
I like this light and will keep following to see the production model
Par maps are insane for a 330 watt fixture in a 4x4...and 800-900 in the center 4x2 with all that light spilling into the rest of the tent. Wow. I preordered 3 ultra strips(couldn’t help myself )to upgrade my x3, which I love by itself. I’m gonna run these strips in my 4x2 with co2, the light raised all the way to the ceiling the whole grow...
How have the lights held up?
I would be honored to have a light like that. Thank you so much!
Hi i just wanted to reach out and tell you I just purchased my first high quality led light from chilled, and your discount code gave me a fantastic rate!!!..truly appreciate you! And thanks for all you do>🙅🏽♂️👏🏼
Glad I could help! Grower Love
Love your channel!
Wow great video im fixing to buy a light was thinking of Elevated lighten 330 wat Demon Board...but now thinking of GrowCraft
Very interesting light... Thank lots for this very helpful video brother.....
One word WOW!!!!!!
Wow...this is an eye opening video.. I hope the cannabis community sees that high wattage doesnt = bigger yields, per se. More $ upfront, but better cost to own and roi is massive. Low individual doide wattage will equal long life.. Whats not to love about this once you get past the pricetag!! Great Data Doc !! Best reviews out here, hands down.
I agree @Smot Poker! You don't need more power if you have better efficiency! Thanks for your support! Much Grower Love
@@DrMJCoco efficiency does not equal performance. but, ok.
diode wattage is irrelevant. you dont know how hard they are being driven, which is what determines life. a 10w diode driven at 5 watts will live MUCH longer than a 5 watt diode driven at 5 watts.
@@DieselRamcharger ACKCKTUALLLY increased efficiency, all else provided equal means more light and increased performance.
@@DieselRamcharger we don't know how hard they're being driven? Did you watch the video?
I bet this will do well in a 3x5 grow tent. I think that's what Im going to plan for.
thx for share
Have you had a chance to grow under the Chilled light? Killer results?
Product of choice for my next facility for sure !
Please see if you can do a phlizon brand grow light they have decent lights for their cost even one very comparable to the mh sp 3000
Hi, i just got a new grow light and was wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a timer for the light.
So I can light my 4x4 tent with ~300w vs 600 🤯 Technology is amazing, makes me wonder where we’ll be in another year from now. 🤓 Thank you for all the different comparisons Dr MJ! It was quite illuminating! Seeing Vitaly and Austin in the live chat was awesome as well!!
The future is here! And it was such a pleasure to join MJ and the rest of the community for this live premiere. Hoping we can join again sometime in the future or collab even further! -Austin
@cronic care.... the scorpion diablo looks sweet.
The weight and cumbersome size is my only issue with them.
The chilled has them beat for that.
The low power draw and performance is a big up for chilled.... that price though!
@@chroniccare409 Shoot us an email at service@chilledgrowlights.com or we could even arrange a call! There are quite a few benefits over quantum boards such as the Scorpion Diablo. One of the biggest being overall spread smoothness and heat dissipation. A chill diode is an efficient diode! -Austin
@@chroniccare409 Of course! A great light will pay for itself in just a few grows :)
I don't want to try to convince you that you made a bad choice, that's just not our speed! But I would be happy to chat about the advantages of our fixture over a quantum board!

need to do and review on the chiled x6
@@pb3426 so the chilled is the win this fight
Would love to see the x6 tested when possible.
If Viparspectra is willing to send you one could you try to check out their new L1000Ws? Its a 14"x14" that is supposedly good for a 3'x3' veg at 130.
Do you think you can do a par test on Amazon aglex k4000
How much of a discount do you get with your code?
Hello doctor coco I been debating on buying the Hlg scorpion or the lux 645 led pro. Now that I so the growcraft ultra 600 it really got my attention and I believe it will be the better choice for me I I’ll get more out of the growcraft than the other leds I named Am I correct ?
You are correct. I believe this is the best fixture that is currently available, bar none.
We'd be happy to answer any questions you may have about Growcraft! Just shoot us an email at service@chilledgrowlights.com

Wat about the optic slim 650s with spectrum control
Where can I get a grid floor like that?
What a dream of a light!
Dear DrMJCoco,
would it be possible to review the new 2020/2021 viparspectra pro series p2500 in competition with the viparspectra xs 2000, spiderfarmer sf 2000 and unit farm UFL 3000?
Maybe you´re interested in it too.
peace
will it survive a rooftop drop test??
Holy smokes
Can you test the lumatek zeus 465 pro
no idea of the diodes used, brand or anything?
3,888 pcs - Samsung 5000K White LEDs
216 pcs - Deep Red 660nm LEDs
4,104 pcs - Total LEDs Per 330W Light System!
It is a very nice light! What space is it made for? will it fit in a 2x4? prob need two of them for a 4x4 eh?
Sorry if I missed it but when will it available, price ?
You can preorder right now from our site! And don't forget to use MJs coupon code ;) -Austin
@@Chilledgrowlights Is this light available in the UK ?
Pretty please do Spectrum King LED SK603, super ultra instinct thanks. Infinite blessings Dr. Light
Those leds look like cree leds. The red ones in the middle look like the Xlamp XP-G3 photo red series. The whites ones look the the J series, either the JR5050 family or the JB2835 family. Probably the 2835 because they are about the same size of the G3's. The 5050s are a bit larger. The Cree Horticultural leds, depending on the family of LED are rated at having PPF/W (umol/j) starting at around 2.3 going into the 4's. If those are Cree Leds then people are getting a very good light. Good on Chilled for not cheaping out.
I build my own lights including having my own custom MCPCB boards printed. I only use Cree leds or Osram but mainly Cree.
Have you tesed the completed fixtures?
This or photontek 600 Pro?
I like to see you test an HLG because these are expensive af and maybe no brighter than HLG.
@@pb3426 thanks. I have a 550R and a 600R and I do hate the driver being on the boards and Im looking to upgrade my 550 probably with a Chilled.
Plz review x3 200 mini
Who are the 8 dislikes? MarsHydro, Viparspectra, Spider Farmer, Phlizon, Growers Choice, Gavita, HLG, and KindLED????
I know. Boy do I dislike all the haters...
No, everybody who realized the numbers quoted are measured at the board level, not at the wall.
🎆🎆🎆👽🎆👽🎆🥳🎆🥳🎆🥳🎆Taken to the next level 🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆
Why not make it a 4 bar light instead of 3 for a more traditional coverage area?
This version is designed for a 2x4 to 3x5 area. We have a 6 bar version designed to cover 4x4 to 5x5 area.

@@Chilledgrowlights well I’m really impressed. Beautiful lights just wondering when UL ETL will happen. It’s likely holding back some commercial sales
What’s up with the Mars Hydro 6500?! When you gonna do a video on this light Dr. Coco?
I will be testing the FC6500 next month (Feb 2021)
I have the Fc6500 , I can tell you I just harvested the first crop under the Mars fc6500 and it's way beyond what I expected , I was running a CMH 1000 de in 5x5 and this light is way better 650 watts from the wall , 23c , bud's like granade's , if there's a better light I haven't seen it but it's not cheap !
@@bruceholinight7978 what yield you get off a fc6500 bro might buy one
@@JohnSmith-mj4rm I might get 4-5 0z 0n average , I was getting around 2-3 with my hid . But i have done 8 with mainlining !
$1400 for 330w.
wayyyy tooo much with that money you get more PAR and more stuff to grow better :D
$1400! wow, thats over $4.24 a watt.
@@bigworm6635 yea that's not how u measure how good they are compared to hsp
Have you thought about reviewing cheap amazon grow lights such as the 150/300w blurple UFOs or other options out there?
Damn there all sold out and sounds like it was just a limited run I really was hoping to get a couple (only making so many and when sold out there gone) incase someone didn't understand what I ment
4 by 3 would be best wouldn’t it?
Stop by the channel Dee Dubb
Anyone else feel this is a 3 x 3 light, and not a 4 x 4 or 5 x 5 or 5 x 3? Great light, but stretching that efficiency a little too much.
It's designed for a 2x4 area but can cover a 3x5 just fine as well. -Vitaly
I agree D
Show us the harvest vs others.
i would feel like I need two of them for a 4x4 but i doubt it would fit in a 4x4. Whats the size? may have to dim them some with 2 but one seems like not enough
to maximize
Maybe get 2 in a 5x5!
Buyer's remorse after watching this... Time to RE-Upgrade the 4x4!!!!!!
Price what's the price
2x4 at 24"
Awesome light but the cost is unreal. Almost 3k to light a 4x4 tent.
In my opinion, you only need one to light a 4x4! But, still expensive. This one is not about saving money
Holy shit that 330 is 1500 bucks?
What will we gain over an hlg?
@@GreenLifeOmaha_GLO I thought the Diablo scorpion was pricey..... but now....
No way this would light a 4x4. The corners would suffer for sure. Maybe veg but for flower no way.
Just about to fire up the x3 pretty exited. I really need a PAR chart at different hanging levels. Trying not to use full blast until I need to.. Anyone point me to a PDF? Or I can watch this video again for the 4th time. Great video btw.
You can find the PAR maps for the Growcraft X3-330W on our site under the product listing :) -Austin
if they use it on a 1600 dollar light, the HLG must be the best thing available. Theres no doubt in my mind they would have used whatever there is, if it could squeeze out another % of efficiency.
$1,399
Estimated release date June 22 2021
Wow !! That's pretty expensive...
It'd be nice to see a par test in a 4x3 pick up those last five squares that's below 500 I think u could get even coverage
So this would fry my 2x4!! lol...
It would do an excellent job in a 2x4! With the included dimmer pot you can always turn down the intensity as needed too :) -Austin
Runs at 30 degrees Celsius max 35. True to their name
4x2?..
They say 3x5 but that’s hard to believe
It was hard for me to believe 5x3... until I tested it in that size. 4x2 is not going to be possible unless you dim or run CO2
This light costs $1,400. The Mars Hydro FC4800 costs only $680, and it will light up a 4 by 4 space just as good or better.
right, but this draws considerably less power. There is no question that the Mars has better cost efficiency, but this has record setting photon efficiency. This light is not for those on a tight budget, but it is a good sign about the direction of the industry
Tbh the spectrum looks a little better than mars hydro leaning heavy towards bloom
LED technology is getting both more efficient and more affordable all the time. Give it three or four years and even the price of lights of this caliber will drop like a stone.
Personally, I'm happy with my Mars SP3000 in the space I've got, and if I had a 4x4 space I'd probably just invest in another one of these and put two in the same tent (2x4 is the perfect footprint for a single unit)
@@DrMJCoco I agree 100%. I was just pointing out that the 4800 was a much better value imo. But yes this new light is probably the most advanced grow light ever produced right?
@@gregwallace6159 even if it isn’t, at that price to sell even one fixture they’re gonna have to claim it is
Did you know you can eat those packing peanuts?
Lmfao
We don't suggest it... lol! -Austin

This isn't meant to be our mainstream product. The Growcraft Ultra line strives to be the most efficient light in the world and cutting-edge tech costs marginally more to develop and produce. The cost to consumers is high because our cost is high! We understand this product isn't for all growers and that is why we will continue to put a large chunk of our energy into the current Growcraft line-up; which while still being a top-end grow light does not cost as much to produce. -Austin
@@Chilledgrowlights Thank you for the explanation. It shows a lot about good customer service. Still I cannot fathom it. Way way off the mark in pricing. Just a thought , don't mind me!
@@elgriego74 Of course! Have you checked out the regular Growcraft line and our DIY section? Great balance between cost and high performance if you are willing to do a small amount of assembly :)
-Austin
@@Chilledgrowlights I just checked these chilledgrowlights.com/product-category/diy-led-grow-light-kits/4ft-x-4ft-coverage
Yes much better value!!!Still expensive as far as I am concerned but way better value. Thank you for that!
