New Induction Grow light

Hi everyone,
Here are some new pictues of how the induction lights are working. The purple spectrum seems to have stopped any progression. We have decided to end the purple light after today and save the crop by replacing it with a 2700K light. The 2700K is doing very good. You can see the difference in light pentration compared to the purple, the buds are growing all the way down the plant. These pictures were taken 3 weeks in bud.

I agree this is VERY interesting. :thumbsup:

However it's been four weeks since we've seen any updates :wtf:(which is the quote BTW). I'd like to see these plants at the current stage of flower.

7 weeks in? :D

I found a manufacturer making a 400W, 2100K induction lamp $230 per.
I was at my local grow shop, and they said their 2100K HPS was their best producer. it says lumen rate is 24000 and effective lumen is 45000-48000
if what they say is true, wouldn't that light be far superior to a 2700K ?
here are some other specs from them. i aint sellin nothin!
copied from data sheet sent to me.
1.long lifespan: For some item, such as self-ballast model and small wattages series, our lamps had 60000Hrs lifespan, for other models, our lamps had 100000hrs.
2.High light efficiency: 65~90lm/w.Rate lumen is the principle date, human eyes can feel more effective lumen.
3.High color rendering: 80.
4. work frequency: 200~300KHz
5. Low Light Decline: The light decline is less than 30% when it use 60000hrs.
6.Color temperature: 2100K/2700K/3500K/4000K/5000K/6500K. 2700K,6500K ,we had larges for store so that we can delivery out as long as clients ordered.
7.The power change area is less than 3% of rate power when the voltage changed in 10% or so.
8. Environment temeprature: You can use the lamps in 0~50 centidegree if you do not use any fixtures, you can use the lamps in -20~ 50 centidegree if used in closed fixtures.
9. THD< 10%,Power factor: 0.99
10.CCC,UL,CE,ROHS,ISO9001 certification. http://boards.cannabis.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Has anyone done flowering with available induction lights and posted final pictures to show a result?

Well, so much for that tech hype....

I saw an induction light system at an aquarium store the other day, and I have to say, I wasn't impressed. The bulbs were paired with a 35w MH and the MH just drowned them out. It was 4-2 foot induction lights, and one MH, and still, I had to look up into the light fixture to tell there were other lights in there.
