Viparspectra xs 2500 pro

[chrononzon23]

Hi Folks,

 

I wanted to start a sticky for this Xs 2500 Pro.

Because there is little info out there and v few diaries in comparison with other lights.

Also there is a little ambiguity with the light distance and ppfd.

I have the latest model which has full dim to off (june 24)

Seems like a quality piece of kit.

Seedlings at 13" at 20% right now and they seem happy.

Photone app gives me ppfd 295 at this power and distance.

 

Thanks for reading and please add any helpful notes on this model.

@chrononzon23 does your model have fixed dimmer % positions, or is a complete linear 0-100% adjustment?

For example you could set it to any % you like?

Hey mate, 0/20/30/40/50/60/80/100 are the settings.

 

Strange but happy to have a zero/off.

 

I'm at 20% and nervous to increase while they're so small and while i have only crude photone app to gauge power

The addition of co2 means i wont be able to gleam much from sweettooths setup but i'll have a good rummage around.

Good work sweettooth! Let us know your model of xs 2500pro please? Same dimmer as mine?

Not bad, more options than a lot of more expensive lights out there.

 

Reason I asked is that more % options means less moving the light itself up and down

Yes it's only good.

 

This light still confuses me though!

I mean, whats the point increasing power if it needs to go higher from canopy?

 

With one hand you increase intensity/wattage and with the other you move it farther away!

 

I need to school myself in signs of too much power. Yellowing leaves just like a nutrient difficiency!

 

Watching and learning

Looks like 0-10v dimming, that will turn it to off. 1-10v or 0-5v won’t

Not all drivers are the same, but it seems more and more LED are offering it. The ACI controller 69 operates from 9-16v, so has the power to change a PWM signal to an analogue voltage between 0-10v and the same for fan speed. Have you or @Military Gradeplugged your light into a 69 controller?

@Flamedodger i got the adapter but not be arsed to set it up

 

The only difference it will make is the sun rise and set things that I'm not really interested in, maybe one day

@chrononzon23  what @Flamedodger suggests is a good idea as it will give you a wider control over your 0-100%

No. I have the 69a but not interested in connecting it.
