Hi,
some final thoughts before i order my new COB setup.
As previously asked, i only have tomatoes and peppers so don't need the full lm power, i understand that CRI and spectrum would be more important.
Based on price and availability from digikey, i've identified two COB options that will suite my purpose.
1. Two smaller COBs V13C THRIVE that will be mounted on the same cooler next to each other, one at 3000K and the other at 4000K , or
2. Only 1 larger COB V18C THRIVE at 3500K that will match the same power output as the two smaller ones.
Both of the above options will have same "power" according to the specs, the two smaller V13C are actually somewhat cheaper than one V18C but that does not matter much. Would a spectrum of 3000K + 4000K be better than only 3500K for my tomatoes?
