What do you think of Phlizon COB Series LED Grow Light?
About COB LED in general-What Is A COB LED?
The word COB is actually short of Chip-on-Board and the COB LED lights are specially designed lights with LED chips that are mounted directly into a substrate in order to form a single module. Since multiple LEDs are wired and put all together, they basically form one light source.
Therefore, when a COB LED is powered by electricity, it appears to be more like a lighting panel and not like a multiple individual lights. That is the main difference between COB LED lights and other LED packages.
Anyhow, COB LED lights are able to provide lots of benefits for their users and that is something that makes them truly special and a little bit more valuable than other LED packages. Let’s see some of those advantages.
First of all, when you use light methods for growing purposes, you tend to get the best light for your plants. Therefore, COB LED lights provide better amount of photosynthetic active photons that plants need for their growth. Simply speaking, with COB LED lights, your plants will grow faster and definitely, they will be healthier.
Better lifespan
It is known that LED grow lights have a longer lifespan than regular lights, but, with the COB LED lights technology, you can expect your light bulb to be even more durable and long-lasting. It might be a little bit expensive at the start, since COB LED lights require high initial investment, but after a while, you will be benefiting a lot from them. Simply put, with COB LED lights, you won’t have to worry about their lifespan.
Improved quality of the light
Possibly the main reason why COB LED grow lights made it to the top of the quality charts so fast is the fact that they provide HIGH color rendering index and broad spectrum. The Color Rendering Index describes the change of the light’s color when it interacts with the object. Simply speaking, the higher the CRI, thing will look more realistic for sure.
- CREE COB LEDS- CREE COB is known for high power and stability. CREE COB, higher brightness, smaller thermal resistance, less light attenuation and longer life.CREE COB itself is a full spectrum design with high PPFD value which can promote faster and better plant growth
- EXTREMELY HIGH PPFD- PPFD, Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density，Hanging at 18", the PPFD is 2161 umol/m²s. The bigger the density, the higher the value, the better the plant. COB LED has highest PPFD output. COB LED is much brighter and more efficient than traditional LEDs.
- FULL SPECTRUM- The COB LED itself is a full spectrum lamp integrated design bead. We have added additional light beads in various bands to ensure the full spectrum of science. It contains 4pcs COB, 68pcs 630-660nm, 10pcs 470nm, 6pcs 6500k, 4pcs 3000K, 4pcs UV, 4pcs IR
- MAXIMUM ENERGY SAVING- The actual power is 451watt.Best hang height at 24",Core Coverage area at 47"*47"(3.9*3.9ft). Maximum coverage area at 49"*49"(4.1*4.1ft). It is more scientifically and energy-efficient than HPS HID and MH. It serves both herb/veg/bloom and is convinient for you.
Advantages
The two strongest points of the Phlizon led grow lights are the high output and the perfect spectrum for plants. The coverage area is also good and I like that they give you a lot of free extras, although not all of them will be useful to everyone.
Output and Coverage
The output on this light is pretty incredible, especially when run at full power. It is about equal to a 800 watt HID system.
Dead center below the light, it gives you a PPFD of 2161 umol/m²s when hanging at 18 inches. That is double what any other so-called (more on the reason for the ‘so-called’ in the disadvantages section below) 2000w light can do.
This light is very similar to the much more expensive Optic 4, in that they both have 4 COBS surrounded by supplemental diodes. But this light costs about half as much and gives you more power.
It also gives you a larger effective coverage area of about 3.8 by 3.8 feet. It only uses 451 watts to provide this coverage and output.
Plus, you don’t have to run it at full power, which saves you money when you don’t need quite as much light intensity.
Power-Saving Switches
This light has two switches: one labeled “veg & bloom on” and one labeled “stronger on”. I like the switches, but hate the labels.
The “veg/bloom” switch toggles the 10w supplementary diodes and the “stronger” switch toggles the COBs. The names of the switches seem to suggest using the 10w diodes for veg and bloom and turning on the COBs only when you want more power.That’s all backwards.
You’re much better off using the COBs as your base light, since they give you full-spectrum white light very similar to natural sunlight. I would use them during vegging, then turn one all lights during bloom to really boost yields.
That’s if you want to save money, by dialing back the power during vegging.
Personally, I would just run it full blast all the time. Why not take full advantage of the power. It doesn’t consume all that much electricity anyway.
Spectrum
The color spectrum is the other major strength of the Phlizon COB series of lights. Most LED manufacturers would have us believe that plants want only blue and red light, mainly because they want to sell us their blue and red light.
But that is not true.
While plants need more blue and red than any other colors, they also need a good amount of green and yellow light for maximum growth and yields
And that is exactly what the Phlizon Cree COB LED plant lights provide.
They feature 4 COBs: two emit a warm white light with a color temperature of 3000K (contains more red) and the other two emit a cool white light with a color temperature of 6000K (heavier in blue).
The COBs are supplemented by 10w diodes: 68 of them are red (660 and 630 nm), 10 of them are blue (470 nm), 6 are cool white (6500K), 4 are warm white (3000K), 4 are UV, and 4 are IR.
Together, they produce a color spectrum with peaks in the red and blue wavelengths and a good amount of light in between (orange, yellow and green). This is the perfect lights for plants and will take them through every stage of development.
Benefits of the Phlizon 2000W COB LED grow light
The lamp can produce a full spectrum light with a high PAR value
The light is highly effective as it can deliver results on all the stages of growth
It provides massive coverage
It is highly energy efficient
Its cooling system helps to control the amount of heat the lamps produce effectively.
Problems of the Phlizon 2000W COB LED grow light
It is not waterproof
It has a very high initial cost
