Phlizon COB LED Grow Light Series Review

Characteristics Of The Phlizon 2000W COB LED Grow Lights:

The features and characteristics of the 2000W series can also be found in 1000, 1500, 2500, and 3000 Watt Phlizon COB Lights.

Energy Efficient – Since the lights require only 451watts to operate, therefore they are very efficient in terms of energy consumption.

800 Watt HID System Equivalence – The lights are compatible with an 800 Watt HID System but are far more affordable in comparison.

Ideal Spectrum Range – The spectrum range of the lights is perfect and beneficial through every stage of the plant’s growth.

The ideal coverage area of these lights for high light requirements are 3.5 by 3.5 feet and 4 by 4 feet for other plants.

CREE COBs – The light comes with fifty-watt CREE COB LEDs that can deliver both full-spectrum warm and full-spectrum cool white light.

10W Supplement Diodes – The 10W supplement diodes are a source of the ideal combination of red, blue, ultraviolet, infrared, and white light spectrums.

Dual Switches – You can save power and electricity by switching half of the lights off when not needed.

Fifty thousand operational hours – The lights can operate for around fifty thousand hours; therefore, no replacement will be needed for four to five years.

Complete Kit – The lights come with grow light glasses, humidity hangers, a thermometer to keep an eye on the temperature as well as adjustable ratchets.

Pros:

The two significant characteristics of the Phlizon COB Grow Light series are the excellent output value and the spectrum range of the light. The lights have a good coverage area, and the lights come with a complete kit of accessories, which is an added plus.

Output And Area Of Coverage:

The Phlizon COB Grow Light series has attracted a lot of attention from buyers because of the output delivered by this light. When the light is being operated on the maximum power level, the output is compatible with an 800watt HID lighting system.

If you measure the PPFD while standing exactly below the light in the middle, and the light would be hung at a distance of eighteen inches, the value would come out to be around 2161 umol/ms. This value is far more than the value that one can achieve by using any other two thousand watt light.

As discussed earlier, the performance of the Phlizon COB grow lights is similar to the Optic 4 but is comparatively less expensive. A similarity between both the lights is the fact that both of them have four COBs that are surrounded by additional diodes.

The power of both the lights is almost the same, but the Phlizon COB Lights are far more affordable. Why not invest in an affordable light with great performance rather than investing in a light that is expensive yet has the same level of output as the economical one.

The Phlizon COB grow lights require power of around 451watts. But the area that can be covered by these lights is about 3.8′ by 3.8′. Thus one can cover a large area without having to invest in a light that consumes a large amount of power and is therefore not very energy efficient.

Another plus is one does not have to operate these lights on the maximum power. This is also a source of saving money and thus adds to the affordability of the lights.

Dual Switch Mechanism To Save Power:

The Phlizon COB Grow Light series comes with two different switches. One switch says the “veg and bloom on” and the other one says “stronger on.” The switches are great as they give excellent control over the lights, but the labels are not very impressive, to be honest.

When the light is operated on the veg and bloom on phase, the ten-watt additional diodes are turned ON. The other phase, which is the stronger on phase, turns ON the COBs. The labels of the switch indicate that the ten-watt diodes are beneficial during the vegetative and bloom phase, and the COB LEDs are required when one needs maximum power.

This is actually the opposite.

The COB LEDs should be used as the foundation lights as they have a commendable spectrum of lights, and the quality of these lights is close to the natural light. The light should be used during the vegetative phase of the plant’s growth, and these lights can be turned ON one by one during the blooming phase of the plant’s growth so that the plants can grow properly and the yields of the plants can be boosted as much as possible.

But the users can always reverse the order of these modes when you are looking for an option to save money.

However, it is recommended that these lights are used to their maximum potential. If you have a light that has such a commendable output and high power, why not put it to good use and take maximum advantage of this. The energy consumption of the lights is also very efficient; therefore, one should not be concerned about the power being consumed by the lights even when they are being used at full power.

Spectrum Of Lights:

The color spectrum offered by the Phlizon COB grow lights is another great aspect of this light series. Many people believe that only red and blue light is required for the plants to grow properly. Therefore, most manufacturers focus on these two color spectrums. However, only red and blue lights are not enough.

Plants do require a significant amount of red and blue lights to grow, but they also require yellow and green lights to gain maximum growth potential. The Phlizon COB grow lights come with a combination of all these colors.

The lights have a total of four COBs. Two of the COBs release warm white-colored lights. The temperature of these lights is around 3000K. This light is saturated in red color. The remaining two diodes release cool-toned white-colored light. The temperature of these lights is about 6000K. And these diodes emit light that is saturated in blue color.

The four COBs are then accompanied by ten-watt supplementary diodes. Sixty-eight diodes are red, ten are blue, six are cool white in color, four are warm white in color, and four are ultraviolet and infrared, respectively.

All of the COBs and diodes together produce a light that is not only rich in red and blue color but is also rich in colors like orange, yellow and green. These colors are also required for the plants to grow properly.

Warranty And Return Policies:

The Phlizon COB grow lights come with a two-year warranty and a one month guarantee period. The buyers can easily return the light if it does not meet their expectations. The lights can be used for fifty thousand hours; therefore, the chances of buyers experiencing any trouble with the lights during the warranty period is highly unlikely.
The Phlizon COB grow lights also come with several additional items like a thermometer and grow room glasses etc.

Cons:

The only problem with the light range is the fact that the claims made to market the lights are a bit exaggerated and can be misleading.

The lights are marketed as 2000W lights. But it is obvious that if the lights were not sold this way, the chances of the lights being bought would be reduced significantly. There is a general misconception that the wattage of lights is a measure of their output. But it actually measures the amount of power that the fixture consumes.

The Phlizon COB grow lights are not 2000W lights. They only require 451watts of power to operate. The 2000W light claim is only to market the product. All in all, this is a great light that has excellent output and is compatible with a 800 Watt HID light.
