Hard to believe someone would take a light with a spectrum that has set multiple world records for the highest yield on a single cannabis plant, and then replace that spectrum with a generic white COB LED that puts out 1/3 the PAR per watt and runs over 100 degrees hotter. Congrats on taking a great product and making it junk.
Fuck you hydro Grow. I could go on but .
@@loganrickman5243 how about instead of some dumbass comment, maybe you tell him how he's wrong? Or are you just a fuc..fanboy who doesn't know shit?
Was this light manufactured in Florida?
oh would you look at that, epistar diode...like logan said fuck u hydro grow. chinese crap.

growmau5 thanks for the video. As always your spreading the knowledge..
i have a few of these very similar lights i got from amazon about 240w 9 and 12 puck design they were called znet this is awesome solution 2 balance spectrum i love the 3d printer design 2 make it look better thats half the battle that crisp Finnish look thanks Growmau5
Hey Growmau5! Glad you're back on YT!! Very usefull video for those who didn't have the chance to meet you a month before cxb3590 was released 😉😁! This kind of light changed the way I grow! I remember asking you about how to spread my COB the best way then asking you if hundreds of diodes wouldn't be better but it was too many soldering at this time! Now it is different so I don't know what to do for my next DIY built!??? What is the best DIY led now? Is it always Cree cxb3590? Is Cree will release CXC??? What would you build today!??
Have a lifted one and lots of good vibes from France
Martin Gailhofer hi! Thanks! You talk about the Samsung I guess! It is pcb with 288 small mid power led? How many watt is this ? How many mA? And the size of the pcb!? I saw 220lm/w!!! Wow my 180lm/w seem poor in comparison! I guess it is 0.2w diodes so 288x0.2 = 56w??? If I am correct and if i can add a potentiometer I will use one over each square meter! I saw it for 43 €! 144€ for 2 with the driver and everything else is it sound fair?
Have a lifted one and lots of good vibes from France growers!
ppreciate cha Glenn, thanks for commenting and watching!
Loved the video my friend! Makes me feel like it's not too bad to hack or even take on building my own light! Love the way you help people like this for free. It's ridiculously valuable information. Thank you and cheers.
I believe in you Pedro! cheers buddy.
Pedro's Grow Room I have to agree the last three years as a enterprise software consultant I was floored to see what my company was charging for my time...
I would be a very wealthy man.
so onto greener pastures literally
Great to see the old-school style coming back. 🤘 more hacks and tech nerdiness! 👊
the pause before penetrator killed me
If I have 7 micro moles per jewel how many watts make a colony?
;)
see you're not the only one that can make uncomfortable statements brah lol.
Love you buddy, I just left where you were from (guessing) and safe and sound as a cannabis refuge.
Keep these super intelligent light videos coming please!!!
Cheers!
Lol, in 1994 I never imagined I’d be using my knowledge of car audio installation(basically doing speaker resistance configuration math) on a grow room lighting arrangement application. Pretty similar when it comes down to it
Would love to hack my old Supernova SN300 with some logic boards or something with quality diodes. Hopefully one day I can understand enough to figure it out, but this really helps. Thanks @growmau5
Lol he knows it’s 81degeees Celsius he tells him to touch it
What happened to the Spectrum King video , is it because they got a little bit upset about it ?
Whew, I know everyone has to start somewhere, but man, no other electronics hobby channel caters to folks with so little electrical knowledge. Props for educating people, but, wow I'd be scared empowering someone who may not know to unplug from mains.
You were holding the 108VDC live wire with your fingers while measuring it. Isn’t that super dangerous?
Home Grow Homie its not really dangerous if you know what you're doing on the dc side.
For folks with little knowledge take the safe approach and use clips 👍
Jim is right, for the un-initiated , aligator clips or even electrical tape is recommended. But its the current that kills you. Think of a tazzer its 20-50,000 volts but only 2-5 milliamps. Worst case, you poop your pants and pass out.
But, safety first.
haha, you are funny~
If your not grounded or touching the return you are safe. The key is not the voltage but the current and the current needs to have a path through you before you will be hurt.
Search for a video if repairing high voltage lines, they use helicopters and connect directly to the power line.
Great video on instagram and on RUclips today what a treat thanks Growmau5! Loving my Chilled light! Thank you for the education!
Thanks for swinging by both platforms and listening to me rant. Cheers Alien Man
Dude... the dangerous side when it's unplugged is not the AC side... it's the DC side with that fukken HUGE capacitor. If what you said was correct, over 800 V DC voltage at over 0.1 amps that cap will blow your heart into next week. That kind of amperage and voltage means you have little to no resistance in your skin over that capacitor... You really should be discharging it before messing around... Don't make a connection like that with your multimeter and the neutral while it's running...
Google: "Electrical Safety: The Fatal Current" and also "Conduction of Electrical Current to and Through the Human Body: A Review" and "Electric Current Needed to Kill a Human"
Can I just send you a light and pay you to change it to some good cob's
.... And the videos start rolling in :D. I'm glad I didn't unsuscribe. Please keep the videos coming, I'll keep giving them likes. :D
We need a diy mau puck video
I have an old fixture that houses a single cob. I opened it up and put the meter on it.
95v dc output from the driver.
.47 amps
Verified with a kilowatt that it is pulling 45 watts with the active cooling unplugged
Active cooling pulls an additional 1.1 watt
What is the best single Cob I can put in this fixture that will be compatible with the unmarked driver I have?
I want to run a cree cxa3590 72 volt 3500k or a free cxa3070 3500k
Please make a recommendation on an efficient cob that will work with my current driver if the two listed above will not work. Preferably 3500k
Thank you!
Nice very nice I'm loving the video great job my friend bless up
Good shit man I have a few led that bord half the LEDs went out so I will be doing the same thing I have been wondering how and what I was going to do go idea
Thanks for the inspiring DIY videos m8, always looking forward to your new projects
I just bought a light and the cords are missing can i just cut off the 3 pin connector and just wire a 110 plug
hello...would I regret taking the reflectors off my LED light? (the plastic cone strips on the bottom of the light base) does it help the LED at all? will humidity damage the insides if I remove it? the led strip seems to be coated. Also the LEDs (96x2) doesnt seem to have a heatsink on the back...just a loud fan inside, should I set heatsinks? do you have recommendations to replace fans for quieter ones? (this is 12v x 0.15a apparently) or do you have tips to silence cheap fans maybe... any help would be great
Love it bro. I'm glad your back

OMG HACK ELITE HACKS

*common sense your went to the store for cigarettes but didn't come back dad didn't tell you
Nice video but a "HACK" is what a cat does regurgitating a hairball. they "HACK" it up.....NOT a good term for anything but...
Growmau5 buddy, you probably won't read this but I need your help. Im concerned. I have a led light, I won't say the brand but it has 6 panels and 6 cobs. The panels are filled with smaller red and blue LEDs. It's white and rectangular. Sold by a popular RUclipsr. When I turned it on the other day One of the color led panels died. It's now making a clicking noise. It's not the fans. My question is if I need to be concerned with continuing to use the light in its current condition?
Hello could you please give/sell me parts/entire penetrator led grow light .... what i really need more than anything is 6 of the original pcb boards with 21leds.... I have had a few of this company's lights but they are sold out of replacement parts.... I have, on week 2 of flower, 6 dead light pods in my grow light now.... And cannot get parts.... have been workin for notin and paying huge electric bills for nothing if plant doesn't havr enuff light intensity cuz 3/4 of light wont turn on
Nicely done ✳️
Awesome. I just sold my Mars panels and I wish I would have used them to try something like this instead.
One mans trash is a DIY'ers treasure.
I am using Mars light, when my power supply was damaged last time, they sent me free one to replace it.
Great stuff, growmau5! I love the fact that you got into 3D printing, it really makes all your projects complete (and customizable as hell :))!! Keep it up man!
P.S. Your new puck looks amazing, can't wait to get my hands on it!!! ;)
Hello, i have an issue with my grow light,
I have a 480 2100B meanwell driver with dimmer knob and when i turn it past halfway it started to flash on and off,
So i took the dimmer off to check if that was problem and the light did not come back on but just flashed only,
So i put the dimmer back on it so i could at least us some light at the moment,
Any help will be much appreciated thanks very much.
I have it on 15amp wall plugin alone, and it did not do this until like the second day it came on with timer and as fine also at that point but about an hour later it started flashing above half power?
I hacked my 300w led setup by tightening the led board so it kinda bent towards inside so i raised my ppfd 😉😉😉 I have 260 ppfd at 36 inches !
Cool thanks
I'm wanting to mod my burned out leds with quad/triple/double or even single 5w diodes. I want them amped up though. I need a little guidance on power supply units. I have all kinds of power supplies for 3d printers, they appear to be the same ones but its hard to tell. The power supplies would have to be quite large and it looks like it goes from these adapter looking ones into 3d printer looking ones when you get higher power.
That new light is designed for the fans
to be in place and running
over the heat sinks.
Like shown, on with the fans separated,
he's lucky those heat sinks,
no longer fan-cooled,
didn't
self-destruct due to overheat ...
Great video subed,on board. I have a growant 900 watt that looks similar I would love to do the same to a couple of them also.☢👍
Hey was just wondering what u think of the viparspectra 450w reflector series light I got 4 of them for a 6×6 tent u think I will b in good shape
Hi GrowMau5 - how do I calculate cost per day to run an led with Avg. Power Draw:: 260W±3%
@growmau5 just opened up my chinese meizhi 200w (wall pull) piece of crap - I wish i could upload pictures of 1/4" piece of heatsink which was supposed to help cool this 200w panel of smd's -
there's two drivers one labeled A other is B - both go to the board and both go one fan each
the A says DC 55v - 86v, .67-.69A (95-100v max i think) , the B says DC 150-190v, (201v max i think) 12v-.3A -- why were they both soldered to the board? And which can I use for the cob hack, and the other just for the fans -- very much an electrical noob - please help me bud
@growmau5 I know I said Cob hack but Im planning on using a QB288 - should fit great
Very interesting, I am trying to build my own led grow light but the correct driver for led is so confusing ffs..
Been looking for a video like this.. cheers.
I got a man long growlight.
It stopped working first the halve of the led strip then all of it.
I measure 120v coming out the power supply so why no led light?
Good job I have never seen a toe on a hand for thum👍🏼
hahahaha man wtf hehehhehe that's cruel
Why all of this talk about spectrum when they now have adjustable spectrum? It's a mute point now I can run any color temperature I want at any time js
Hey how can i change my led driver
Growmau5 great to see you back educating the community.
You make very well done videos, great job!
Got a platinum light would love to retro fit with cobs or ur guys new cobs
Me too bro I got 8 p600 that needs modifying.. you ever get round to doing it?
Miami Heat V light has four boards they're about 4in by 4in wide what would be a good board to replace those with and how much would they cost
Definitely bro I truly appreciate and love watching your videos
96.5% Tin , silver 3% and copper 5% ; am i missing something here ?
you always go the extra mile to put that like new finish to it.
I have a TSW 2000 Mars Hydro led with a failed driver, how do I replace or repair it?
sweet video! keep em coming. have a mars II 700 i might hack into an efficient veg light one of these days
spectrum of cob light is not good for grow a lot of 440.. is better balance with single led
I bought an appolo 10 which I believe is made by cidly seem to be simular also
I still have four of the old 300 watt lights you upgraded in the other video...lol...
I really need to put 2 of those Luminus COBs in each of those.
At least last me a couple more grows, hopefully.
Great content as always thanks for the info and the laughs. You've been missed.
I got a grow light for free the other day and only one of the lights on it was working same with only one of the fans was working. This seemed to fix it
Growmau5 i have the Kessler h350 led.have u tried opening thoses?there the red led i wanted to try to swap to cob.if u haven't i have 8 of them and send one for u to open and make a vid.lmk
Where can I get the blue spectrum leds? I have a few burned out on my board and need to solder some new ones in
HOW TO GET5 RID OF ANTS AND ROOT AFITS IT COOL EVERY ONE HAS THER WAY
I want that screwdriver! Mini cordless powered 🤯🤯🤯
hey guys I have a sol 9 series from the led company u did a remodel on this penetrator. just curious what your thoughts were about there sol chips they have in there new generation series. btw hydro grow led sucks don't buy there lights , there customer service is shit and they may decide not to refund u. btw this video is super helpful an I guess my main question is I have like three chips go out in the 9 light fixture wondering if its a driver issue or a chip issue. I'm gonna get this baby apart and run the multi meter through it to see if I have a driver out or if the chips went bad. any thoughts on the sol 9 series chips should I keep them or use cree??? could I just rewire with less lights on board???? thanks again for making this video and bringing useful information to the people.
I'm looking to build a 4 LED setup into a high bay reflective hood (16 inches in depth). Been looking around at different LEDs on the web and amazon then came across this video. Broadened my view on these newer chips (I build my own first LED grow light about 4 years ago with 10W red/blue chips). It worked but the chips started flashing; 'Im assuming due to heat or just low quality chips. This application is for a 4 x 4 grow tent.
I also considered 60 or 10 degree lenses for better light penetrating, but settled on the metal reflector instead ($25 out the door on walmart website) and want to use 4 x 100W chips. I'm constantly going to the drawing board to find a good way to get good light penetration from a single light source/focal point.
I enjoyed this video!
I have a micro grow with a custom cob ( vero 3000k 90cri ) for flower. Would my plants benefit from adding any specific colors that the cob doesn't supply. Far red? Infrared? Uvb? Thanks.
Wow now I understand what hacking LEDs is this is a great video no doubt and I have same light as this video welll now I know I can add turbos and nitrous to these imports
I bought a cod upfront it was Chinese made that being said I have watched growmau lots and thought I made a good decision but plants didn't do well and seven months later it smoked, shorted out and was cooked. I did for once when I bought it did buy the insurance offered thankfully i did they paid me back in full less taxes so I still came out okay but I won't ever buy another cob but would build one because of growmau videos if I am doing well enough health wise that is i am losing the use ok my right hand due to arthritis so doubtful that will ever happen having my eighty second surgery the 30th my personal feelings if you don't ever build the education is priceless THANKS GROW
should polish the inisde of the the reflector for better reflection and not too much more time
Hi, I did buy full spectrum cob 50 watts Led and test it with app luximeter from cellphone but it only show 200 lux is it demage or I need use other special of luximeter for measure led? Thank you
hey Mouse i have a technical question. Is it possible to solder leds that have varying voltages to the same PCB board? I was looking at the CREE xp-g3 specs and i noticed the reds function at a lower voltage. would that be a problem when soldering the reds to the same board as the whites and blues?
👌👌
Hey how about adding some thermal grease to the contact surfaces? some regular PC grease (I think everybody should have some at home) should help getting your chip temps down even further. Oh and since we're at it, a CRI of 80 does not seem to be very good in emulating sunlight. Is there an improvement to be had over a CRI 80 LED, if I was using a like CRI 98 LED chip?
Another great vid mau
Hey I'm having a problem with my meizhi 600w LED light for some reason the veg lights on one side of the light stopped working the flowering lights are still working on both sides but for some reason the vegetative lights are not do you know of any quick reasons why this would happen
Sounds like one of the led drivers inside the light has gone bad, or a connection is loose. Your best bet to figure it out is: get a $7 ,red, harbor freight multimeter and check the DC output of each driver (as demonstrated in this video). Cheers & good luck .
@@GrowMau5 it's weird because this light has four boards two of the boards are working perfectly and two of the boards are only working with the flower lights not the veg lights I would figure if a driver would be bad either none of the veg lights would work at all or something like that if that makes any sense to you I do have this light opened up and I don't see any bad connections I just don't have the money to buy another LED light and I'm in the middle of a flower run right now
@@GrowMau5 hey I got a question again when I took the LED light apart one of the black wires ground wires coming out of a driver seemed loose may be pulled out could that of burned out all the veg lights on that side because all the drivers seem to work I've swapped and back and forth and made him run different stuff for the drivers are all working it's just the veg lights on those two boards by that ground wire backing out could have burned out all those veg lights on that side because the flower bulbs on that side still work with those run off a different driver please let me know
Hi. I'm hacking some import led I was able to fit some cxb3590 replacing led clusters just like you did on this video, tho my optics wasn't anywhere near as sellable as yours, I first learned how leds works watching your videos, great content as usual.
I was left with some old epistar pcbs, I now I wonder how are these led joint into the pcb? are they soldered? glued? I'm asking you this because I would love to replace the burned diodes (1 - 2 diodes per cluster) in order to use them in other array. I have limited budget so I hate the idea of having 4 leds clusters, with 12-14 working leds laying there as a paperholder. Hope you could help me with this. Thanks for sharing your wisdom. Greetings from Chile.
Nearly choked to death on my food when you said it was called the penetrator... LOL
i bought a couple of the 16 puck lights from my buddy for 20 bucks each. he said he paid around 500 for each snd i got 10 of them. ive been wanting to do this to them for a while. tha ks growmau5 this just made these lights usefull and i csn bring them put of storage. he said he got rid of thrm because they kept burning his plants even at 3-4 ft away
hello gromau5 welcome back! there is the possibility that you will re-share your recipes of light?I'm building a lamp with cob and mono leds, almost equal to the canopy 10.
Instead of buying it in
I run 5 50w cob leds that are water cooled so i can run the heat out of the room while i have 2 40w spot lights
I have checked alot of lights and i just build my own and buy reflectors and parts seperate
If i need an air cooled light i add a old cpu cooler as there ment for 100w of disapastion easily so 2 50 w cobs even over drivern at 120w is a no big sweat
As for IR in a grow light, this is not needed and at best will only burn the leaves. IR is also very dangerous around the human eye.
It is much safer for adults, children and press if IR is not in a grow light
i found the luminus cxm-18 for 5 euro a piece, will they be almost as good as the cxm-22?
I NEED HELP WITH A MARANTZ TA-100 5 BAND EQUALIZER FROM AROUND 1990 NEED THE LED LIGHTS BLUE FOR THE 5 BAND EQUALIZER PAY WELL THANKS PS. HOPE YOU CAN HELP
Im interested in creating a red light therapy light for health, fixing some of the issues that the joov have. Do you have any knowledge or resources that might relate to human use? Your videos are great!
Genius Brother !!! respect !
Hello mou5
Cool vid as usual bro, can you do a hack for the newish viparspectra par series light, it’s a big improvement on last series but still way to high colour temp. ✌️
Glad I came across this video. I have a couple of these and they burned out a couple of months out of warranty. Was looking for a replacement module and this is so much more affordable. Wish I had a 3D printer! Could ou reinstall the lens or would the COB get to hot?
Great video I'm I about to do something similar. To first get a heat zink then a driver then a fan. After that I will search for the Led chip. The problem with the led chip is that there are so many various models and generations so it is difficult to decide what led chip to go for. I would have probably one full spectrum 100w led chip/plant and use one unit per plant so the distance to the plant and position of the light can be dialed in more accurate then if a bigger unit is trying to cover a few plants.
Please post more. I know your busy but your shit is always informative and entertaining. It helps me with my builds
Dude where did you get those little screw drivers
perfect instructional video.
Doesn't everyone have a 3D printer? Lol! Great video! Very clear, and step by step. Thanks from someone that knows little about electrical wiring. Good job! I'm subscribing.
Damn Dude! You ALWAYS rock!!! Thanks much for the vid and knowledge. love it. COBs Rock!!
ive built my own light with a similar design to this. i used 6 3500K cobs and 2 monochromatic cobs to "boost" the spectrum. i can still see my plants in true color but they also get that extra blue and red that this "full spectrum" cobs offer.
good to see you back making videos, ive missed you. You should be using solder with lead in it though it flows so much better, big clive wouldnt be happy with you recommending lead free solder.
Great to see another video, hope this you getting back on the horse fella.
What do you think of the wow stick?
Its a brilliant little thing imo, wish I'd had it years ago
I have the same helping hands for soldering as you do. I put a doubled up piece of heat shrink over the alligator clips. I was afraid the teeth would bite through the sheathing and cause a short. Am I being overly cautious? Thanks again for the videos!
Cool vid bud
pretty
