CREE or COB LED ? grow question by CaptainCream

I feel like CREE is just a brand that is producing COB chip. It's well known that CREE chips was the best and are tending to stay the best even in a market in constant change so my opinion is : If you can get a COB led with a CREE chip then it's all good BUT i am highly recommending you to search for the best cree chip to buy for horticultural use with google.

LED Flood Light Question (CREE/FEIT/Etc)

Post by davebo » Tue Dec 23, 10:31 am

So I have about 35 recessed lights in my house that currently use a 65 watt flood lights. I've heard about LEDs for quite awhile and decided to test a few of them out since my electric bills have always seemed very high (due to having little kids leaving lights on).

So far I've only tested out only FEIT bulbs (1 set from Costco, 1 from Ace hardware). They look pretty good compared to normal lights, but they are a smidge brighter it seems. When I dim the lights all the way down, the lights are not near darkness like regular bulbs are. That doesn't concern me as much as the fact that they are a bit brighter overall. I&#;m probably staring at them a bit too much and maybe a random visitor wouldn&#;t notice it, but I think someone would definitely be able to point out the LED light if you asked them. Originally, I thought the brightness was due to the fact that I had purchased the Costco lights which were 750 Lumens. I then went to Ace Hardware and purchased the FEIT 65W 650 Lumens (thinking it wouldn&#;t be as bright) and they actually look MORE bright than the Costco ones.

I now think I&#;m going to test out the CREE bulbs from Home Depot since they get good reviews. I really wanted to do the Costco ones since they are $10/bulb vs. $17.50 bulb for the CREE ones at Home Depot. A few questions.

1) Have you noticed that LED bulbs don&#;t DIM all the way down like normal bulbs?
2) Any opinion on brands? Ones that closely replicate the warmness of regular bulbs?
