I was looking at a 350 diablo (new version of the 350r with reflectors) at a local hydro shop the other day and noticed that they have totally changed the diode mix on the boards, from what I believe was a mix of 5000k 301h and 301h evo chips to what looks to be a mix of 3-3500k warm white, 5000k white and 301h evo mint white as well? I pulled up their website and I couldent find any mention of the change or reasoning for it, but I did notice that if you zoom in on the pictures of the 350 diablo and 750 diablo it does have an obvious checkerboard type pattern on the boards. I went ahead and got it so I should be able to hang it up tomorrow and take some par readings and compare it to my pre reflector 350r's. Still seemed kinda weird that they didnt do any sort of announcement, when they changed the board last time they werent all coy about it...new wider blue! Personally I like warm white and am intrigued by mint white so I think it could be great but love to know more.
