- Опубликовано: 5 авг 2024
- ViparSpectra's foray into the bar light game with their new KS series impressed me. The KS5000 is a sleek, powerful 4x4 light with a very large footprint that provides strong, even coverage. In this video I unbox, assemble, and test this new lamp.

In order to offset costs involved in publishing reviews and automation projects, like others in this space, I have decided to begin charging for the many hours I spend running tests, compiling data, and producing these videos. I have marked the video as paid promotion to reflect this and will continue to present objective facts and results.
dude, appreciate your vid big time. Just the 1st few minutes of opening. There's nothing worse than humming and hawing when it comes to purchasing something online, in a territory foreign to me, not sure what I will be getting. Up until now, I really had no idea on how big the lights are. I know led's are more powerful than hps/halide, but it's still nice to get a physical perspective of the size of the equipment, with you in the background. and the quality. thanks . appreciate it.
Great video! Love the par maps!
Yo, I just watched yours yesterday and was blown away by the production quality. Amazing work. Anyone who’s reading this comment and wants to see more of this light, go watch this dude’s video.
@@LEDGardener Thanks fam! Just found your channel today searching other KS reviews! Subbed! Great content and love the automated par measurement setup! Need that! Great info! 💚
@@LEDGardener Thanks just shared this video on our page for people who wanna see some comprehensive par maps for this light! 🙌
Man you do the best par test and reviews on RUclips Stay safe and keep up the good work 🇧🇧 👉🏻 🇨🇦
Thanks! How are you liking that SE-3000 light?
Solid light designed well and performance looks great.
Oooo nice to see them pumpin out a good light to compete in this market
Yeah their lineup was due for an update.
It is a very good light for a 4x4. 46"×46" is definitely built solid. the only issue is dimmer not being variable
I've been rocking their P series and XS series boards for the past couple years. Love vipar products for the mid range fixtures. Been waiting for this bar style design and knew it would happen eventually. Disappointed they didn't go up to the 650-720w range, but delighted they offer the remote driver.
I am surprised they didn't do a 5x5 version as well to compete with something like Spider Farmer's SE7000
@@LEDGardener Think I just saw a new SF model for use with CO2. Big boy 800 or 1000w. 😳
@@greybush1976 Yeah that's a luminous lad for sure. SE1000W.
also surprised they left out IR diodes compared to the XS line
@@Highigan gotta leave room for supplemental bars. Wink lol
Now that we’ve reached close to the plateau of efficiency spectrum tuning is the next frontier.
They’d be cutting themselves outta the market for IR , royal blue and UV-A supplementals
This is what I was waiting for from those bar fixtures tbh.
So far I haven't even considered goin away from my boards.
But these are really elite compared to their rivals.
I’m a beginner grower on my first grow and hopefully I made a good decision because I just bought one of these on Amazon 😜
Update?
GOOD BAR LIGHT
Thank you.
Can't wait for them to come to the UK.....
You can get it to come there by ordering it online... Lmao
@@johncampbell2926 True but neither their amazon shop or own site US site ship to UK. And not avaliable on their UK site, amazon or eBay.... Lmao
I would buy it and ship it to you if you thought you could trust me with the money.
Thanks but only just upgraded from big CFL bulbs to first led quantum board style light and loving it. I can wait till the bug really sets in, save, and then upgrade everything... (Add in evil laughter!!!) But thanks for the offer. Big flat square box through multiple depots, containers, handlers, I don't think I'd risk it!!!
Can you control this via the VIVOSUN E42A controller hub?
This vs mars hydro fc- e 6500 ?
I own thie light. I found my photone app to gove me dofferent ppfd to what there booklet says. Coco for cannavis says it whould be 28cm but i just put it at 34cm distance to be safe. This is on 100 % power and in flowering.
Lights drivers usually hung inches from exhaust fan, that's why it won't raise temps too much as it's pulling the heat off and out the tent
What is it with this whole sticker thing?
I'd like to hear what people are sticking these to.
@@LEDGardener I’m so confused
You mean slaps? If that’s the case I don’t get it either why growers covering up their reflective material either. But stickers on the light to market yea I see that as important.
The "driver" is that big because the actual driver is inside the casing. I would have though of all people you would realise that.
Eu version will prob have less diodes which are made by some budget brand, while making us watch all the US reviews. I feel Vipar have got here on the blood of us EU growers. .. Dam i make myself chuckle with my little digs. I wouldn't say this crap if i didn't feel it was true.
Eu version is also the same with US version, the only different is the power cord. Some relevant certificates needed to EU are applying, when get it, will arrange to send the lights to EU market. Thanks for your patiently waiting.
BUY AMERICAN
BUILD BACK THE USA 🇺🇸
HLG 650 Diablo
HLG SCORPION
HLG 600R
Plenty of phenomenal LED’s to choose from.
If price is your main concern you’re missing the boat big time !!!
Exactly
buy overpriced murican stuff:)))))))))))))
I have both. Hlg one I think plants like best but no dimmer
Wow a Barlight, a little late to the Game, but Competition is always good. And Stop selling those Blurples, please.
They have a market and they sell a ton. Also priced right with good build. Lotta people looking to grow indoor vegetables. And veggy starts are extremely expensive when your starting 100 seeds. I was a affiliate for a long time. And yeah they’re are a lot people wondering why they still sell em. Well like I mentioned there is HUGE market. Especially now with the prices of produce the market has exponentially increased.
I’ve got a 5 year old v600 4 year old r300 and par 700 that still work like they did when I got em.
If they’re taking apart and cleaned they last for years. But yea competition is great. I like the fact the added benefit of hanging the driver.
@@timpage5021 Yes i know they work well but now there are cheap Samsung Lm301B/H lights out there since some years, which have a far higher effeiciency, maybe its not important in countrys with low electric costs, but in others, to mention EU, the Light per Watt is very important for your electric bill.
@@Diranar851 agreed. oh I know they’re out there . Trust me energy cost is extremely important here in the US. But everyone wants a bargain and they wanna feel like they’re getting something from a reliable company too.. Also plant starts respond extremely well with the heavy blue 400 to 460 nanometers wave length. Especially leafy greens . Remember lotta these are not taking em to flower. Just starts and up through the seedling stage and then get hardened off in shade to go outside., I whole heart agree there’s better out there. Lotta people people aren’t as knowledgeable either. But yea if I got a lil 2x2 tent with couple seedling trays that XS1000 is gonna cover that space better with way more efficiency . But the basic home gardener is gonna see the v300 at half the cost and get similar results. At least for a few years anyways.
They’re trying to get the best deal (they feel) for best price and from a reputable company that’s been around a long time. When I switched to LEDS around 12 years ago Viparspecta is what I started with. Anyways what light and what space you rockin with presently?
@@timpage5021 I use a Se-3000 from Spider Farmer in a 3x3 Tent, and a Mars Hydro TS 1000 for Veggies in a 2,5x2,5 Tent. And for Seedlings a self Made 60 W Lamp out of SMD3650 Led chips. And i have to look at the Prices , too but it works very good.
