JC, love to see anything and everything relating to these inductino lights, including grow tests.

I wound up buying 6 -200w/2300k induction lights ($980with delivery) from a supplier in china. who made test subjects for me. I would post some grow logs, but as this is my first legal grow, and the lamps took a little too long for manufacture, and delivery, I can't post good solid data. I have like 2.5 feet of stem on my plants and had to do some crazy bends to keep tops from hitting the ceiling, I will ,however, post my flower cycle for my clones in about 2-3 weeks from now. this will be a better test, as i will be starting with reasonable size vegged plants.
Down side is that one lamp had a bad ballast, and the rep has still not rectified the situation completely. though they did sent out a replacement ballast, it also malfunctioned, and blew out light. other lights are bright and no probs.
I could use some questions about 2100k lights with a reference to my tests, to the rep, to motivate her a little more, that people are interested in this product, but are awaiting test results from the guy who bought 6/2300k lights from her company ;-) Cherry <[email protected]>

is this the mland light, or a different company in china?

[Steveat1]

Different company. you can find their lead info on Alibaba dot com if you search in alibaba , for induction lamp, and 2100k.
I spoke with m-land, but the other company was willing to make 2100k lamps, though specs didn't quite meet the 2100k color temp. please email the address i posted, the rep will be very happy and enthusiastic to create a new grower's lamp with 2100k, if they perceive demand.
the lights don't come with reflector, but i had no problem making one with aluminum roof flashing for about $15.

That's the problem with buying from chinese factory... they take a long time to arrive, and if there's defects it takes even longer. If you find a local supplier, they should have supplies on hand so you're not waiting around. More $$ of course but that's what you pay for.

why did you buy 200w instead of 400w? just because of how your grow space is set up? I hope to try 400w induction +100w T5 vs. 1000w HPS to test if they're in the same league. Planning to run on a 4'x4' area on both.

I keep seeing the spectrum getting redder in these discussions... first 2700k, 2300k, now 2100k ... will it make a big difference?

The color temp is only a representation of an average value.

I'm working on induction lights that won't even bother with a color temp, they'll operate on the same principle as LED, but with much better efficiencies.

how long do you think that will take you? induction lights that target wavelengths specific for plant growth would be revolutionary!

We already have them, I'm actually working on better phosphors to make a nice quad-band induction lamp.

you should look at the work of these hydrogrow LED people, they got the spectrum down on their products
