ViparSpectra KS3000 PAR & ePAR Tests and Review

- The ViparSpectra KS3000 is a foldable LED bar fixture designed for 3x3 coverage. It is part of the new KS series from ViparSpectra. I tested the KS5000 a few weeks ago and it performed brilliantly in a 4x4 space. The KS3000 does even better in a 3x3 space! It creates exceptional PAR and ePAR maps. I give it an A+ for distribution and it set a new record for Photon Efficiency!

Bought two KS3000 today from Amazon. Your promo code saved me 25.80 apiece. Plus there is a $60 coupon as well. Saved 110 bucks total, so before tax these cost 375/
did the same thing... amazon still gets you on taxes and shipping and handling, but with numbers like this it's worth the price
Can be had for $260 plus tax as of today, after discounts.
Loved it ❤️ I really enjoyed you going over seedlings and veg and flower , really clean review . Growers love.
Hey Vipaspectra watched everyone do a bar light then came in & say hey take that.. 😎
I love VIPARSPECTRA it has done very well Thank you for your time and work keep it up please
This light is sooo beautiful! Would love to rock it in my tent !
Love your videos!!!!
Thanks for all your videos!!
Thank you Dr MJ Coco for creating all this content,and a like minded community for growers! Spreading knowledge is spreading grower love.
this is a pretty damn good light for price man, the "big guns" are either going to have to reduce pricing or give consumers a better reason to pay so much more.
Great review s always. This light has an awesome footprint.
Looks like a nice light! Thanks for the educational video!
Love it so much!!!
I LOVE Viparspectra lights 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Damn I missed this live. I guess I'll just watch it now I had alarm set and everything got stuck at work late. Thanks guys have good day!
oh sweet thanks I'll text right now... lol not really what happened to whatsapp? Why do you try to scam everyone? Can you please just stop were all just trying to grow and learn from others and be a happy friendly community but then we have ppl trying to rob us by telling ppl they won but have to pay shipping.....
@@miker5700 I received a notification saying I won a prize along with a contact number. But so did a lot of other folks. These can’t be legitimate,can they? There’s one prize for this giveaway as I understand it.
@@bonesdoes6142 DON'T!!! It's a SCAM!!!
@@miker5700 yeah,Dr MJ Coco told me it was bs. It’s shameful those people are using his name,and works to try and deceive.
@@bonesdoes6142 it is bs I harass the scammers I bought a cheap phone and call and text them mean stuff lmao 🤣 but yea dude be careful!! I sent a longer reply than just the it's a scam don't not sure if you seen that one. So be careful they do it to ALL the cannabis related channels. Remember has to be real channel contacting you easy way to know quickly is if the name is highlighted in grey has basically a circle around the name. Good luck bud happy growing
Wow! What a map! Almost need co2
Nice job
Just picked this up to replace 2 of my 3 100W lights. Will keep the third light in the tent since it is using 301B diodes and a meanwell driver to get a total of 400W in my 4x4. Plus it had a $100 off coupon so I just paid $250CAD, which is a great deal IMO!
I'm waiting for your video..my partner and I watch them all
Wow,that is close to a light with still a good distribution of light. I have an a/c Infinity evo4. @ 18" hanging height,on power 9 my average PPFD is 1040 and efficiency is 2.34. Oh,pulls 257watts at the wall on power level 9
Nice light
nice one!
Thanks for another cool review!
How would it preform on a 1x1 meter surface?
Hey bloke, love your vids, they have helped me so much! Any chance of getting hold of the KS2500 to test? With It's strange bar spacing It would be Interesting to see the spread, Cheers :)
Can you do a par test on the new optic 720s lights, the ones with the deep blues and infrared diodes?
Excellent par map. I really like viparspectra.
Just ordered mine from viva ty dr coco for the 11$ off
got one on the way i bought from amazon....only using a 3x3 tent right now but whenever i get my 5x5 back up i'm buying that medic 8 light...thanks for your time you put into this stuff dr coco.... by the way love the site i been searching through the calculator to see your results and helped me decide on the best light for my area,you can't beat that!
and i think they recommend 12 for flower height because if you get closer the light will take away some of the trichomes
Do you think this would do a 4x4 with light raised up to maybe 14/18 inchs
Good question hopefully dr coco will reply on this
Ks5000 for 4x4
my friend had this in a 4x4 and it wasnt enough , he ended up getting the ks5000 because of it, and he wouldnt sell me his ks3000 he liked it so much he bought a 2nd 3x3 tent instead of selling it to me, it definitely produces though from what i saw in his garden
May I ask if you can do the TMLapy n240 light please
What percentage of heat reduction can I expect between the KS3000 and my current Sun Systems 315W LEC/CMH light in my 3x3 tent?
wish someone would answer this question... i use a 315 cmh in a 3x3 and my heat is slightly becoming a problem not too big of a problem but seems like someone would have info on this
@@getbrainseeds I got this light.
It's cooler because I dimmed it during early growth and mounted the ballast outside the tent.
I recommend it
💡✌
👊💪
Do you think 8 inches away at 75% power would be ok. Been ill and didnt av time to do all my training. 3rd week of bloom now. 8-10 inches away light is
can dr mj coco test the groplanner
How do we enter the giveaway?
wouldnt a large panels that covers the complete surface be better than bars? in theory?
if the board use 301h samsung diodes it definitely would work better but it will be a little bit hotter inside the grow area but not too much, just make sure when you buy a heat sink to not cheap out on the heat sinks...them 301h boards are definitely top of the line... i think thats what helps make this light here a good buy they use 301H which is way ahead of the samsung 301b diodes
Whats better this light or lumateck ats300 watt
How do I get one off these delivered to uk
I havent got a proper light metre. Ive got light on 100% 14 inches away in flower. Day 15. Wat pdf would this be.
Why didn't they bother adding ir and uv to it? Cut costs?
When looking at grow lights always pay attn to the performance in the PAR or ePAR range. Lower end fixtures often add a few UV and IR specific diodes as a marketing gimmick - they do not make a significant impact on the quantity of photons in those wavelengths. If you want to effectively use either UV or additional Far-Red (there is already 3-5% Far red coming from the full spec diodes) then it is best to get that light from a separate fixture. I do not consider the presence of a few UV or IR diodes to be a selling point - you will not find that on the top end fixtures. Grower Love
@@DrMJCoco although I do agree. Uv and ir in there would kinda be more closer to what sun puts out, no? Spectrum wise? There are some lights out there that nail the par or epar range and still include uv and ir as a boost to mimic the sun more. They should really consider adding that to their next model and just bump up the price. Sometimes having to get extra uv or ir lights isn't ideal for a lot of home growers.
Do you think its better than spider farmer 3x3 light?
I have not yet tested the Spider Farmer lights for 3x3, but yes. The KS has a larger frame and I am confident it has better overall performance. Grower Love
Yes it is because the even spread the Spyder farmer it's only 24 by 24 and this light is 32/32 which evenly covers a 3 x 3 with 4 inch Gap versus the whole foot of Gap all the way around
@steelcitytv4213 they have a sf5000 wich I meant 2 say..check that one out and tell me what u think... that's the better 3x3 light
FYI, the coupons don't stack, and if you enter in the discount code it won't let you go back and use the better coupon... You should talk to them about that. It's kinda costing you both money cause it's making me want to get a different light...
Elaine @ Viparspectra, I hope you're listening... I'm in the market for a new light now.
amazon let me use dr coco's code and also let me attach a 50 dollar coupon and use both but they hit you with almost 50 dollars in taxes/shipping and handling fees

If growing strictly autoflowers (4 in a 3x3 setup) would you go with the Viparspectra KS3000 or the Mars Hydro FC3000? I ask this due to this RUclips review bashing the KS3000: ruclips.net/video/wWsBugHjRys/видео.html. In talking with him he claims that everyone he has talked with have had unimpressive yields from this light. From your thorough review as well as Migro's I don't see how this would be possible. Any thoughts before I make a purchase?
The yield is only as good as the weakest link, in that case maybe the grower or his seeds.
Not gonna lie, I personally wouldn’t get this light. They took a very long time to get this light out to market. Yet the specs aren’t too impressive. I’m also surprised they dont have more selection with this new bar light series.
I’ve used the ViparSpectra XS1500, it’s a decent inexpensive light. It works best if kept closer to canopy than most lights. It doesn’t put off intense heat so it’s good for early on, which is why I use it. It has a Meanwell driver tho.
If you’re working with a smaller space, limited height or on a budget, then I’d say Vipar is good for that.
the specs are perfect for a 3x3 tent i mean the numbers are just low enough that you dont need co2 i mean you cant ask for too much for under 400 dollars
have you ever heard of science ?
💚#1luv4dabud 👍
Finding running at 25% power at 8" is making the mother out grow a 1.2 more x 1.2 mtr tent.
You don't need full power.
It looks swell.
Can you fit two inside a 5x5
2 squares = a rectangle
no, they're 32" square, so they'd be 4" too big. maybe you could just push the sides of your tent out
@@nate6748 makes no sense to do this.
@@eggspanda2475 it makes no sense to answer Jason's question?
@@nate6748 it makes no sense to try and put these 2 lights in a 5x5. Its an absolutely ridiculous proposition . a square 600W minimum light would be required. preferably 700-800W

Says 12 inch at 100 power. Hopefully 8 inch at 75% power wil b ok
Found it on ebay for 260$ new?!?
Lumatek
I'm sure the 2500 isn't to far behind the 3000

There customer service is horrible! I have a 4 or 5 month old ks not performing any where near what its supposed to 4 reds burnt out. They will do nothing to help me. Keep telling me thats normal and i dont know what im talking about. Never again for vipar
Dang man I've been running mine for over a year it's just giving me awesome results I'm really happy with it I replaced my other cheap setup that I had with this and I feel like with my other Bloom + 300 that I might be replacing that what's another one of these or if I can find another one just like this I don't have that much room for the power so it only drawn around 300 watts is great for me to keep two tents on a 12 by 12 alternate cycle
