Viparspectra XS1500 (re-released with correct PAR MAP) 

Spectral analysis? UV? IR? Watts used at wall. Power level adjustments? 🙏🏼

Picked up the P600 just before you posted this; I should have grabbed the P1000 for basically the same price. it's fine for my lettuce, though 😄

I'd like to see you test the p4000 as I just bought two of them and would love to see what you think they're capable of

Hi Sean, i was looking to buy one of these on amazon, till i saw this and dr coco, thanks, i currently have a 1.2x1.2 area and was wondering if a p200 will be sufficient light for both flower and bloom? I seem to be thinking from what i read is that it has all the useable light i need for area. Would really appreciate your advice Shane.

So have you corrected par ppfd in your video is the XS better than your review I have found it to be a lot brighter

Bob Vila was just the face man. Everything amazing that was done on this old house was because of Norm Abrams being inhumanly awesome at building and hand crafting the shit out of stuff. =D

Yes I agree it was Norm he's the man. Bye bye Bob than Kevin took over.

I've got the xs1500 for just 160€

Xs is better for flowing

Thanks for that coment man!

Nah pretty sure your fluffy buds had a different cause.. Spectrum is kinda overrated at least not that important that it won't fatten your buds if a bit more on the blue side.. The amount of light is much more important

@@user-ve7hn2dh8h lol hellllll no that is so unbelievably wrong. SPECTRUM IS EVERYTHING

@@user-ve7hn2dh8h Do some research, you are mistaken.

@@user-ve7hn2dh8h Nah bro, try growing buds under a 500W GREEN light, lols, the plant will grow like shit. Spectrum is way more important that watts, Find the best spectrum light you can, then get the most watts from that range of lights. You look at the Spectrum 1st and then go for the most watts you can fit, not the other way around.

I have been using two of the P1500 in one of my 4x4 flower and now I’m going to get 2 more for my other 4x4

Nice u should have big quality plants

Feck, you'll be disappointed in my flowers because I'm growing hot peppers and fruit trees. However, if someone wants to lend me an Apogee, I'd be happy to take some 5x5 maps!

@FeckArse Industries if you are growing lettuce or microgreens, 4 would be good.... probably fine for overwintering my hot peppers as well. According to Dr. Coco's calculator you need 6 for a 5x5. I don't have a way of measuring, so I would rely on Dr. Coco. I wouldn't rely on wattage too much as different lights have different efficiencies and spread. A 5x5 space is awkward, so I'd like to test which configuration is optimal. If you need high intensity light, lower the light but it will become more focused.... then you need 6-7 to cover the area. If you can go with lower intensity raise them and spread the light out more. For the price, it was worth it to go for 6. Buying lots of small lights means they are easier to replace in the future or repurpose in another area. BTW, I added the lights to my shopping cart and then closed the window.. i got an email for an additional 5% off the next day. That's how the price got down to $550. Good luck

He has a video with a list of all the lights he has reviewed and how efficient they are.

2 P1000's is what I'm running, I got the pair for $165.

I have 2 P1000's in a 4X2 and my tent gets hot as hell, I have to unzip the front to vent it even with an intake/exhaust fan setup and a window unit AC

Good to hear that, I've just purchased the vipraspectra xs1500 pro new gen version! I've goy an ATS 200w to ho with it and for seedling and rooted clones I've got a lumatec 100w supplementary bar, hope it's sufficient enough!🌿🔥🇬🇧

Love the vipars will be getting more i git better results when i grew between these 2 sold my Ps the vipqars just grew me better flower

yeah the green and black does look better!.

Damn, wish I got the new version. Got 2 of em a couple months ago for $95 each, but gotta say now the light is truly worth it - kinda feels lack luster with 100 less leds

I ordered the xs4000 today about an hour before I watched this video. Hopefully I'll be getting the updated version as well.

I'm running 2 P1000's in my 4X2 (paid $160 for the pair shipped), there is nothing wrong with it's components and the results are Great..

mean well is quite a old brand led driver

P series still use Samsung .It uses the LM281B instead of the LM 301B that the XS uses.

Interesting

Lol what? Both have a total combined spectral output of exactly 3960k exactly for both . Thdy both have the exact same combined spectrum.

I flowered under the Pro series and got fantastic results.

Bang Bang Bang, I DID! :) That's good advice.

Ya my vipars out performed my Ps i use different lights in my tents so i know what works in real world PAR is garbage and i stopped thst crap years ago

Car lights run on DC. Your wall plug is 120V, but that is AC. LED's use drivers (power supplies) that convert AC from your wall to DC for the LEDs. You might be better off with 4 in series using a 48V driver. Or 10 in parallel using a 12V driver.

And if going to try something like this, make sure you check the voltage for each lamp. Most led diodes for not run on 12 Volts. While it is possible that a lamp assembly has enough diodes in series to add up to 12Volts, I do not know if this is the case. It is possible that a lamp runs on 2 volts and has a resistor in series to drop the 12v from the battery to a usable voltage for the led

P 1500 sales at a lower price than the ts 1000 so I’d say go with p 1500

Zeus Attis

Where can you get 2 xs-1500's for $210? Please share.

Same here lmao

My xs2000 works amazing I got a Maxisun pb2000 with it and they do the damn job well

The XS series is fantastic. I'm growing peppers under them now and they are killing it so far. The extra money is in the better components and the wattage is slightly higher in the xs series due to the meanwell driver so of course it's going to run a little hotter.

yea thats what it looks like in this review.

@@warrenpeas I see what happened now he kept calling it p1000 when it was the p1500

@@VermonsterGrows but still he says and others have said the xs1500 is not as good as the older p1500 which cost less.

Yep just purchased it a few days ago and I must say I love it , Massive upgrade from the ancient light I was gifted

Now Amazon has a $30 off coupon you can piggyback with Dr Coco’s coupon and get it for $117 with free shipping.

I order one today $113 with free shipping :)

@JoshuaMills which Mars hydro are you comparing to?

Also rocking it and it's pretty epic for the price yea. Driver gets hot tho, that's my only concern right now.

Hey guys 🙋 can I ask for your opinion on a brand or lights that I have been researching for a year and can't find much other then what the company posts them selfs!! So was wandering if they are legit or not 🙄 if they are really good I thought they would send it to Shane but nothing so far 😅

@@AliG-yy2ys What light? Did you ask them if they'd send one to Shane? I'd love to check em out. Maybe a little more coercion and they'll send one to Shane..?🤔🧐😂👍

@@timturk1899 hi Tim turk thanks for the reply bro ✌️ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jKyfqt-Ie-I.html

Don't want to type the name just in case it turns to be a scam light don't want to advertise bad or good am only learning

This light doesn't offer different spectrums. But it should have enough blue for veg and enough red for flower.

@FeckArse Industries yes the difference between the 2 models. I'm told XS has more red usable for bloom.

also if its better quality components on xs such tiny price difference becomes less relevant.. xs has even been lower than p series several days the last couple weeks.

@@MrBob58o no, viparspectra had to create a new model because mars hydro is kicking their a**. The p serious are basically veg only because they lack the red spectrum for flowering. The new series has more red to actually compete w/ mars hydro ts & sp series

@@aaronspencer1005 The guy who measures light for a living (Bruce Bugbee) and grows for NASA constantly preaches that (especially for flower) that quality of light doesn't matter. Quantity is much more important. Plants don't care blue, green, red,... they just want photons, and lots of them

that's simply your opinion. I'll take 2 P1000's versus 1 XS1500 & I did and have zero regrets!
