    Hey Shane, Just to say recently received the Aray 8 I purchased and my initial impression are that I'm very impressed with the design, quality and my comparison comes from using multiple HLG qb288's 135w. In terms of disability I do not think there is another light on the market that is as accessible as yours from delivery box to grow tent in the 4x4 space. Add this to the fact that you seemed like a genuine guy that gave honest reviews and even to admired competitors efficiency was enough information for me to put trust in your product. Pleased to say was good doing business with you and would look forward to future reviews on all horticultural products. Good luck man, deserve it.

    Always a pleasure to see there's a new test by Shane.
    Vivosun usually has an economical approach (their grow tent were not bad) but sub 2.0 PPFD/Watt efficiency is not enough nowadays, and instead of mounting the fan on the light fixture they should propose a tower fan (best air distribution by far when positioned high in the tent) that could still rotate in horizontal position.

    • @marksmith-cg7wl
      @marksmith-cg7wl ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I disagree, even 1.8 PPFD/Watt is fine, if it keeps your environment in range, having a very powerful led increases the chance of burning the canopy, and often they don't give out enough heat as you need a powerful extractor fans to replace the CO2. Most grower buy very effective leds and then have to buy a heater because its too cold, another problem is buying a very effective led and turning it down 50%, what impacted does this have on the light spread?
      Don't you think its a better idea to give the plants what they need and forget about dimming the leds?

      @Rss I guess you have never started seeding off under a 2ft T5 FLUORESCENT TUBE (1350LM) 14W 549MM (2FT)?
      They work really well(24" x 6")4 plants, seedling's/early veg. A standard 13w led bulb is 1521LM and it covers 1ft x 1ft with reflective sides.
      Seedlings don't need any light an till they germinate and then the Cotyledons need a low amount of light to start off, they need high humidity, its takes a while for the young plants to become established along with the root mass, so when the plant gets to about 5" tall/wide (mid veg, 4-5 weeks after dropping the seed in the dirt)
      they can start using more light.
      The AeroLight 100w gives you 25w per ft2
      in flower(2ft x 2ft), so you could dim it down to 50% That would gives you 12.5w ft2 in veg. same thing but you light up 4 times the space.

      @VIVOSUN ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Thanks so much for the comment and giving us a chance to respond! I wanted to comment about air
      circulation and CO2 densities. CO2 and air circulation occurs regardless of which direction a fan is
      pointed. As long as air is being circulated, air will find a way to balance and refresh (of course this isn’t
      the case when an area is physically blocked by leaves, for example, which is why we focus circulation
      through the canopy). Regardless, if the fan is blowing upwards or downwards, the final effect will be the
      same: fully circulated air in your grow tent. It’s something we’ve learned from talking with educators
      and through our research over the past decade, so I wanted to share that with you.
      Additionally, we designed this fan to blow downwards because it forces circulation into the canopy,
      which would be blocked from airflow if we didn’t. This helps balance moisture and reduce the risk of
      mold while circulating CO2 in a physically blocked area.
      Thanks for giving us the chance to respond! We all appreciate being able to communicate directly.

    What would be great on a grow light would be a built in intensity timer, it would switch on at the start of the cycle at around 25% then depending on how long the light cycle is keep upping the intensity until it is 100% halfway (to mimick mid-day) through and then progressively get dimmer until it switches off at say 25% at lights out

    I like the idea of being able to automate 90% of indoor gardening in one application. I really like that the controller incorporates some cross compatibility with other brands.
    Vivosun is going to read these comments and i have only two suggestions for the next revision. Release a version without a lcd controller and one with a programable outlet so users could hook up an irrigation system or mechanical dehumidifier.
    I think the fan is a novel idea. I'm not sold on it but it isn't a feature that would make me avoid the product. Anything that decreases the probability of rot is a feature worth considering.
    Fans are mechanical and would be the point of failure. As long as the fan isn't integral to light cooling and it can be replaced by the user i don't have a problem with it.

      If ur whole tent is hot, ur blowing hot air. The heat sinks pull heat away from the fan, allowing cool air to flow thru to ur canopy. But what most of the ppl here are saying does not make sense, yes hot air collects towards the top of ur tent… but not is ur moving air around. The hottest part of ur tent shud be from the light radiating on the plant. The air in ur tent shud be moving the hot air and the cool air from the intake. And the exhaust shud pull any collected heat from the top and blow it out the tent.

    blowing the warm humid air back down onto the canopy seems a bit counter intuitive, surely this is the now stale, humid, hot air that we want to evacuate and replace with CO2 rich fresh air? Also trying to control temps and humidity together with an extractor doesn't work where I live as there are too many fluctuations, so I run a dehumidifier to de-couple the two processes. With this in mind I find the whole plug and play app based systems a bit gimmicky, it reminds me of programming a bread maker rather than being a conscious gardener!

    I like the center fan, ONLY if it is replaceable.
    I would like a fan controller that uses " PID like" controller: a) at trigger point, turn on fan fully, b) adjust fan speed downward as the temperature drops, c) continue running until the temperature drops BELOW the trigger point.
    Fans controllers like the AC INFINITY utilize a rather pointless "up-ramping" of fan speed when temperature / humidity hits the trigger point. The fan control "algorithm", if you would call it that, is bass-ackwards. It turns the fan on at low and ramps the speed up, exactly opposite of what it should do (at trigger point, bring the temperature/ humidity down FAST, not slow). THats what I would like to see in a future fan speed controller.

It pushes the air down yes, but it circulates it so my exhaust can suck out the recycled air. And I can turn my fan on to only blow for a couple minutes then stop for a few or however long I choose for it. Same with the exhaust.

Not released into the US just yet but soon. They work perfectly for the SE7000 5000 and or set up independently hung to support any other light.. Gonna be like 70 $ for 2 bars. They also got their own light controller that can do sunrise sunset or anything else any other controller on the market can do. This product has been available for well over a year now. So to say they’re not innovative or coming with new products just isn’t true.
      No hate on vivosun but this is an absolute overpriced under powered unit.
      A CPU fan on a tiny 100 watt light is hardly innovative.. If anything this is a step backwards. The fan in is integrated with the light . Fan shorts out so does light. This was a an issue with their blurple reflector models. They wired the fans to the drivers to power both fans and chips. Won’t surprise me if this already being considered for discontinuing.

The integrated fan design may not sound innovative to you, but it has received the Red Dot Award for its innovative design, so they disagree since it’s the 1st of its kind. Also adding the new light bars u helped SF develop, adds to the total cost of the light… so u are actually paying more (70$ u said) to upgrade instead of just having everything from the get-go, from the factory, the way it’s supposed to be installed. So if an average 100w light was 130$ and u add this to it ur already at 200$ (the msrp of the Aerolight, plus it already has the integrated circulation fan and is made to work with the controller to do multiple spectrums for different stages of the plant’s development (I don’t think another controller/light does this).

But there’s almost no use to blow the air upward. Ur exhaust shud pull the air from the ceiling. And u shud have circulation fans to move air thruout the tent also, so u don’t have hot air in one place.

      Hey there 18matts,
      Thanks for the comment! We’re happy to answer some of these concerns!
      Both our AeroZesh and the AeroLight’s integrated fan are PWM-controlled EC fans with dual ball
      bearings. The most critical component of fan reliability is the bearings - these ensure the longevity and
      are also the most costly because of the quality required. But this also means the AeroLight’s fan has a
      lifespan of around 70 thousand use hours, which is even longer than the LEDs (which come in at about
      50,000 hours). Part of our design process is an extreme condition test, which includes everything from
      high temps and humidity, salt, direct water spray, and extended operation. From our rigorous testing,
      we found on average these fans last around 70,000 hours.
      Hope that helps with your concerns!
      Cheers
