There is a link to their LUXGRO Series luminaire...

LUXdynamics manufacturers a luminaire with variable spectra, controlling veg and flower spectrums independently, with the ability to introduce blended spectra at different stages of plant growth. Might be something that satisfies your objectives. www.luxdynamics.com

========================================================================= Without making an incorrect assumption, which LED is the "apple" and which one is the "sheet of cardboard"?

============================================================ All LED manufacturers produce LEDs with different performance characteristics specific to light output, color, and forward voltage. The top LED manufacturers produce high quality and lower quality LEDs and depending on the quality...

=============================================================================================== BMD, Caveat emptor. Just one of many LED lighting solutions that purport everything under the sun. In my opinion, Thomas Edison's intention was never for the medium-based...

Check out the discussion on the forum: BML v Illimitex... Note: Many DIYs are buying aluminum 'heat sinks' that satisfy their LED requirements. Objective: LED technology is expensive so information is critical.

I thought I would share another example of details in 'thermal management'... Manufacturer A uses LEDs that are populated on 'tape' that is applied to a thin extrusion that follows a long distance to dissipate heat. Manufacturer B uses a metal clad PCB that is applied directly to a heat sink...

Correction: When it comes to a heat sink for LEDs...........it is not cool to be cool.

My BML must be actively cooled by unicorn farts, because the heat sinks are running 88F at the edges, 92F at the center of the bar. Readings taken with a harbor freight laser thermometer. I know it can be dicey taking readings from reflective surfaces in this manner, so if anyone has a...

The illumitex uses Surexi F3 which are a bit behind the curve in terms of efficiency. Sorry to be so negative but it is in the spirit of getting better LED grow lamps (COB) into the market. Supra, In response to your comment related to the Illumitex Surexi F3, I suspect that the...

Supra, Excellent point on the PPFD claims from LED manufacturers. From my understanding, PPF or PPFD should be measured after 1 hour of continuous operation. The 1 hour of continuous operation is as important as understanding the distance/mounting height from where the PPFD was...
