220V / 230V Mains Power Full Spectrum LED COB

In this episode, I try some Mains voltage 220V/230V LED full spectrum Chip on Board (COB). They don't require a LED driver, they can be connected directly to mains voltage.

I'm pretty sure "full spectrum" as it is used here is a marketing gimmick term.

You can't get full spectrum from a single color temperature.

And, unless this COB is magic, you can't put two different color temperatures in the same COB driver without two different COB modules.

"Full spectrum" is a marketing term that China uses to try and sell products to marijuana farmers.

I'd be happy to hear your explanation for why you used the term "full spectrum" here, and if you can prove me wrong, I'll happily admit it.

But i own one of these LEDs, and there is nothing 'full spectrum' about it.

Please try to avoid parroting generic meaningless marketing terms, because then all you're doing is
1) confusing \ misleading noobs
2) helping China sell products with incorrect applications \ functions to people who don't know any better

Bro is it possible to manage brightness of this led? I bought one and I'm willing to be able to manage brightness

[iggiiiggii]

god job mate.
I drive them 7 in parallel but over a grid diode bridge and 47uf/250V cap (flicker) --> in series to that is a 9uF/250V AC Cap. with this setup the overall consumtion is 40 Watt, they last forever and are day bright. Its mounted onna 1.5m alu bar (7 equal spaced 50W LED) cover the whole box.
I can show you where to get the AC cap for 30 cents. Whadda say.

Would be interesting to know the PPFD or PAR value a 50w generates at 30cm distance. if you dont have a PAR meter, then may be you can test LUX meter app on your mobile and give back the value please?

[PeterKKraus]

Did you mean powerful or is that the actual name of the COB? You can get a Bridgelux Vero 29 SE COB from digikey for like $25.

that is not a full spectrum what I see or my screen has a terrible color cast.

[PRN-Life]

Cool just bought one of those ! real fun to test when it arrives going to grow tobacco actually and for under 5$ you cant go wrong . thx Dude ! / Paul Roger

[Surmoka]

I was waiting for that oscilloscope the whole time. And you never connected it to the output of the LED's rectifiers. That would be the only significant information about these LEDs.

[ChesterJoseph]

Can someone tell me if I can use the plug and wire from a lampi already own, the plug says 240v, the current lamp bulb(not the grow bulb I'm going to use) also has 240v written on it so I'm thinking it is good, but better to ask then blow myself up xD

Follow up, if I have 2 of these led boards, can I connect both to the same plug, or do they have to be set up a certain way for even power distribution

Hi can you do an update on how you installed these in your grow light

[Andandos]

Did you test the light on plants? how good are they performing regarding plant growth?

[niklashultkrantz]

I don't think you should use most of the time of the video to illustrate joining to wires. We all understand that. Whats interesting how much cooling do you need and the actual light spectrum thirdly the efficiency.

[lucianasousa]

Don't you need to ground it? If so how can you do it?

[americanidogs]

I bought 3 of those that are a 1000w each on 220v. Problem is that they work well on 110v but when switching to 220v they are extremely dimmed and are barely emitting any light. Since they are supposed to convert automatically from 110v to 220v what are we doing wrong??

this type of chip COB FULL SPECTRUM YOUR FUNCTIONING SHOULD BE UNDER 65 ° C YOU NEED A FAN

[TheBlaert]

These are a fine job. I've upgraded some old Halogen floodlight cases with these. Earlier ones I built didn't last because I didn't spend much time putting a heatsink in them. The later ones I built with half decent heatsinks are still going strong. Long lasting high powered lights for £2

Hola compañero..como conecto un fusible térmico en una lampara de led cob 220v como esos, de 3 de 30 w cada uno? la lampara tiene un ventilador a 12 voltios y quiero que cuando el ventilador falle..que al calentarse los led mas de la cuenta, así como 75º o menos.. que corte toda corriente, gracias y a ver quien me echa una mano, por cierto sabes que máximo de temperatura a de tener un led cob ? y otra duda...el ventilador se pone que le entre el aire al disipador..o que lo saque? gracias

I've mounted two 50w chips on a 150x250x40mm alloy block with the cheapest 120mm fans that are available and those pieces don't even become lukewarm.

[Fth]

What will happend if I connect this to a phone charger?

[harryconover]

I tried these ate fond that using a heat sink and it’s small. Fan works great the fan is 5 volts so a diode and a small cap with a series dropping resistor it ended up 2 watt and I had to shove it between the fins but seems to be reliable I have it on my bench and it’s been a year plus.
