TROLL ALERT I said: The troll says: People of normal intelligence should have no problem understanding what I said. An intelligent person says: Alesh was referring to the Olson SSL Hyper Red datasheet. _______________________________________________________ And to those...

I said it's a hypothesis. Do you not now what a hypothesis is? Or am I too dumb to understand what that means? Does it hurt to try? You cannot succeed if you don't try. The impossible is only impossible until someone does it. It's only those that try to change the world that are the ones...

You wouldn't need that at all if you used single row strips. I'm running some 4000K F-Series strips at 750 mA in an aluminum channel and the aluminum temp is like 29°C at 22°C ambient.

It will NOT do okay. Guaranteed you will be VERY dissatisfied. It is not the equivalent of an 1000W HID or anywhere near that. I did a break down of a similar product. Less than 100w. It uses really shitty inefficient LED drivers, the LEDs are driven at less than 1 Watt. The LEDs have...

Your problem is not a bad one to have. Much better than not having enough. It's just a matter of taming the beast. No current adjustment? No dimmer? No one says you have to run the lights at max power. It's nice to have the luxury to set the height then adjust the intensity to what you want...

I like that. Good fixture. I wrote and app for their RX30. If improperly used can kill the plant too. It's a nice red spectrum. Would it do better or worse than a narrow band deep red? Doubtful. My red of choice is the OSRAM Olson SSL 150 Hyper Red. Closely followed by Cree XPE HE Photo...

It's not a matter of if it works. It's a matter of efficiency. A 380-400nm UVA light source will render 100CRI with a nearly 100% efficient phosphor. The problem is a 380-400nm LED is expensive to manufacture. An LED manufacture has two criteria in choosing the type of LED (e.g. InGaN) and...

I do not need you to explain things. If I annoy you, add me to "People You Ignore". So is this the example of why you think you have issues with transmittance and penetration? That stuff may apply to certain species and not cannabis unless the research was specifically conducted on cannabis...

I do not know exactly what that means. You think a sun spectrum is better than LEDs? That is very reasonable and logical thinking. Unless you want kick ass cannabis. There seems to be a lot of confusion between light being used for photosynthesis PPF and Biologically Active Photon Flux...

What has convinced you these cyan wavelengths are important? These are wavelengths are not used because they are not needed and not as efficient. White LEDs are made for illumination markets not horticulture. 450nm is the sweet spot for Indium Gallium Nitride LEDs (InGaN). 450nm is used for...

I said that only becasue a particular study I read on lettuce used florescent as a control and it did better than BR. BRW did best and had superior sweetness.

You are sounding more like a serious grower than a hobbyist. Canopy penetration is a huge issue in cannabis. How do you know about your levels of transmittance, reflectance, and absorbance? Measured? The deep red should do the best for photosynthesis. That's also where the fluorescence...

Yes, I thought I corrected that. Hate when that happens. It happens too often. Getting old sucks, it's like my fingers and mind have a disconnect. Digikey has reels of the 2U SSL Olson 120s in stock. I may buy a reel in the next month or two. Yes, too big, horrible organization, and their...

I was genuinely serious also. I do not know who has those numbers. What @alesh said about counting photons (or not) outside the PAR range makes the most sense so far.

Good question. What vendors claim those numbers?

Let's see if I got this right. You are a punk ass bitch, no one in your family except your uncle will take your sorry ass in because you wore out your welcome everywhere else. You are so pathetic you covet your uncle's tires and dream a psychotic dream of stealing the tires and buying a house...

I do not give a fuck about the sun spectrum. It is not the ideal spectrum either. No matter what the charlatan vendors say. They are frauds and liars. Enough about McCree. That was 50 years ago. RQE is not applicable. Drop it. No one understands what it means anyhow. You LED spectrum...

You have a very good point. Dollar Store cookie sheets, I like that idea.

The Luxeon and Bridgelux are nearly identical. I do not care to know about any Chinese chip. I like the Luxeon and Bridgelux meat chip spectrum. You got it right. I'm not a big fan of PPD or CoBs. If a datasheet looks interesting, I buy some and measure the PPFD. The numbers you posted...

But you are still a dick. And still not impressed. Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it. Why is it someone that claims to be wealthy has a major interest in cheap shit like Chinese LEDs?
