hi again what do we got here we have vipara Spectra's newest
light we got something new to check out guys all new lights from bipart Spectra we've been loving
their lights for ever since we started the channel so we got something new new here let's take a look
hi again fam if you want a chance to win a brand new vipar Spectra XS 1500 Pro stay tuned
for details on how to enter in this video to win one of these brand new lights from vipar Spectra
look at these babies and I think these ones are special in the way that you can
connect them yeah it looks like they got some new features on them let's get these
things unpacked check them out and see what they got going on with these things
I love new things right yeah these look pretty sweet we're pretty excited to check out these new
lights from them um and we're gonna be definitely putting these things to work in the tents and see
how they run get some par measurements and check out some of the new features look at this little
baby yeah it looks pretty dope I'd say this would be comparable to their excess uh 1 500 that they
already have or the 1500 um but they just do a new design here looks like they definitely
have added some things um it's like turn around see how she glows right looks like they've added
some kind of uh like kind of lens system over the LEDs and then the center has a little something
different so definitely cool to see them coming out with new products and new styles of lighting
so yeah because you can't touch them this time yeah everything's covered completely
pretty pretty interesting uh design change so we'll see how they perform and what what's up with
them I'm excited so these are going to be going up in our uh patreon tent this is a two by three
so we're going to be replacing the old xs2000 in there and then we're gonna run these new ones two
of them side by side length so we're gonna get them in there see what kind of par we're getting
at different heights so the excess 2000 has been great the whole access series are four thousand
um in this 2000 we've actually ran many plants through it's just like um this is their last
Light and this is their newest right well this one is a 2000 so it's a bigger Series this would
be comparable to their already XS uh 1500 so you know the xs2000 is a bigger light with a probably
more powerful driver but we'll see how the new 1500 Pro compares to the to that and we'll be
running in a dual setup so it's actually probably gonna I'll put more than the xs2000 does or just
alone let's get these babies out of the box take a look at them and check out some of the
features so these new lights look at dope yeah these things look really cool I'm excited to see
a how bright they are because you know brightness matters right and um and to see how how they link
up yeah they look pretty dope so the new lights guys looks like they did add like a little bubble
mesh lens system over the LEDs but they are completely covered the center has what appears
to be like a glass covering over those Center LEDs and same kind of construction and build
quality from the xs4000 all aluminum housing it also has the little uh heat sink aluminum
back all of the fins don't look quite as big looks like they're using a new one from sosin
new drivers 150 watts a piece they also have the good old dimming knob on the back here although
I did notice that the dimming knob is a fixed position now 5 25 50 75 and 100 also features
the control in and out so you can daisy chain the lights and it has a local and remote switch
on the other side so you can just daisy chain these lights to one another without a controller
uh but I did see in the manual it supports the 0 to 10 volt dimming they look pretty
sweet what do you think man I'm ready to get these big ready to get these things going I
have a baby that wants wants the juice we got something in the paint content that's gonna be
loving these but other than that in the Box guys you do have the rj11 cord some hanging brackets
your manual and two sets of ratchet straps to hang these babies up so we're gonna get
them hung up in the patreon tent side by side and then take a look at them yeah let's do it
I'll put those shades on spray in here need some shades up in there this is just one of them yeah
these babies are bright guys and um it it's more than enough grind more than enough to Blind you
um hence why I have the shades right I'm actually very impressed it's it seems warmer than some of
the lights that I've seen from yeah from them so um the Spectrum definitely seems to be shifted
to the warmer side guys by bar Spectra definitely switched up the Spectrum they're using with these
new XS 1500 Pros on the left is the 1500 Pro is much warmer than the middle which is the
vipar Specter KS 5000 and on the right is our AC Infinity s44 which would be the most blue shifted
you can definitely tell the color temperature difference when you see them all side by side
like this with the new XS 1500 Pros being the warmest out of all the lights and to give you
guys a little data to back that I use our new pulse Pro to measure the ppfd and the pulse also
gives you the spectral curve response from the light output so from 17 inches below each light
at 100 I took a measurement and you can see the spectral curve clearly shows that the XS 1500 Pro
is a much warmer spectrum light with more power in the Red Spectrum so it looks like they changed
up their Spectrum a little made it a little warmer um and I've always seemed to think that the plants
seem to like that especially in flour when it's a little bit warmer so we'll definitely take a look
at the Spectrum on these and see if we notice any major changes but overall these are looking
pretty awesome I do like the Dual light setup and you can link them so they can control another or
run them independently so this is going to be great for if you have a 2x4 it actually shows
amazing Park coverage with two of these in a two by four with about nine inches of space between
them you can expect basically a thousand car full coverage over the whole 2x4 so two smaller lights
gives you that flexibility because you can't offset them and get that get that maximum par
a lot of two lights so we're gonna be running in a two by three but we think it's gonna be great this
is our patreon tent so this is a tent we let our patreons decide what we're growing in and
they've voted on a photo it's Mr growitz chill out okay yeah Mr Grow it we've been pumped to
get this one going all right and then well that's gonna be fun that's where the patreons have yeah
I was going to come first photo days we're gonna be putting these babies in some dirt hopely we got
some little tap Roots maybe we can jump on another live and show you guys where the Snowman comes
definitely if you're a baked John check that grow out it's coming up and we're going to be
giving these lights a new run in there and it's gonna be dope so these are looking pretty sweet
if you guys are interested check them out the link will be in the description below you can
use our code to save a couple dollars but uh oh I can't wait to see what these babies do
these are looking great like we're gonna try and hook them up on the controller 69 and see
how they remote control and let you know let you guys know if that works um but yeah so far
impressed these new lights look dope the lenses look pretty cool and uh I think they're gonna be
great performers oh so we could check out some of this a functionality guys so we have them linked
um one bypar is set to it has going out in the output and that goes to the other one's input
and then the switch on this one you switch that one to remote and then the main controlling one
is local so you can link up to 20 of these lights in a series and control them from one
light if you grab that dimmer knob yup and adjust it you'll see it adjusts both lights brightness
so it will chain them together and you can chain as many up to 20 of these just off each other and
can control it from one main light one thing there is no off position on this dimmer so the lowest
setting it will go to is five you still need to run a timer on these in order to actually
get it to turn off for your night cycle so you will have to run a timer but you can daisy chain
um and get them to all turn up or down based on whatever thing or you can run them independently
or link groups of them together especially if you have like a five by five in a few of these
you could have you know kind of Zone set up with different lighting for different plants and autos
and stuff some in flowers some in veg seedling so I think that's pretty cool gives you that
ability to kind of customize your your setup and your space so we'll go ahead and try and
hook it up to the AC Infinity controller and see if that works we got it hooked up to the
controller 69 these are the type a adapter it's pwm 0 to 10 volts um so it is hooked up so go
ahead and watch you hit that up arrow on there babe and it should um make them both brighter
so it's definitely controlling both of them that's dope uh go ahead and bring it all the way down so
one issue we did notice guys um is although it does hook up here and control when you set
this to zero the lights do not turn off all the way they just go to the lowest State the five
percent so that means even though you can control these lights the dimness through the controller
69 with a type a adapter this does not turn off the lights all the way even if you set it to the
zero output on the off the lights stay on so that means you would still have to control your lights
through a separate timer you couldn't rely on the AC Infinity 69 to do your control for the lights
and we don't have any other kind of controllers to test to see if that would work you could use
something like the AC Infinity control plug but the only problem is you'd have to then control
each separate light with its own plug to turn them both on and off although you might be able
to get away with a power strip on there because these lights aren't going to draw over the 1800
watt or 15 amp power limit of the on and off plug but it's just something to think about I'm kind
of surprised that it doesn't turn off at the zero State like our KS 5000 does so something to think
about but overall these lights look great uh if you guys are interested we're going to be
running these for sure so obviously it's going to take a while to grow some plants through them
and get our evaluation of how those go but we will check out some of the power readings here
and see what kind of numbers these things are putting out if you want a chance to win your
own XS 1500 Pro all you have to do is comment below XS 1500 Pro in the comments and you'll be
entered to win we'll be doing the drawing for this live Sunday March 19 on our Sunday lives
we'll announce the winner and pick one from the comments so you have a chance to win one
of these new lights and check it out for yourself good luck fam so up close guys 4 000 par so as we
move down here you can see about six inches we're about 2 000 par at 100 so just go ahead and keep
more than that babe and you guys can kind of see as we go down definitely getting the numbers
even at 12 inches were over 1300 par 16 inches a thousand two hundred eighteen a thousand
still over a thousand so definitely definitely these things are putting out the light guys
super impressed with that so these are definitely gonna hit you with more than
enough power that you would need for flowering so unless you're growing at a super high level
um yeah even at even at 31 inches we're still at 700 almost 800 par so these things are
kicking out some some serious power here so super impressed by these little lights
um from vipar so definitely the power you need to flower and be able to do the veg even at
G's almost at the top of the tent at 100 we're easily there enough to get them up into badge
um before you'd even have to lower them so you can definitely run them high or low and they're
you know they're going to get you the power that you need at pretty much any height it looks like
but that's impressive I don't know if that's because of the lens design or yeah maybe some
of the different chips that are in there but it's definitely uh definitely impressive let's go to
30 inches right here almost 800. yeah 30 30 inches from the canopy and that's sitting in between the
two so they do recommend if you got it in like two of these in a two by four you space them out
nine inches apart you're gonna get uh complete coverage all the way from one side to the other
um in a two by four with just two lights you know full power coverage so that's that's
pretty impressive it feels like you don't even really have to touch them the whole
oh yeah I think for real they look very very powerful so I'm wondering if they're going
to come out with a bigger series like a like a xs4000 pro um definitely be interested to see
that but we're gonna we're gonna keep checking these out and we're gonna do some runs with them
