An overlooked aspect of LEDs is how to position the diodes for max coverage. Enter the Merkaba, a Sacred Geometry shape that is the key to life, so why not duplicate its pattern in diodes? Why indeed. Do a Youtube search. Prepare to be awakened to hidden knowledge that just might rock yours grows beyond your wildest dreams. Too much hype? Hmmmm
Using the Merkaba shape should be a game changer. I'm not sure if the energetic increase could be measured without a rather expensive device, but I would not be at all surprised by a 30-50% increase of life force energy bathing any plants growing under it. Bigger Yields? Higher Highs? Dunno.
MMJ led lighting book needs to be rewritten.
Due to the recent absolute avalanche of led advancements, the plant led lighting book needs to be rewritten. Actinic value diodes are no longer necessary, plus they are peaky. The sun is not peaky, it has a very broad spectrum of colors. But it does change hue and intensity between planting and harvesting.
The new WW, and NW diodes fall very nicely within PAR + they have >95 CRI, pushing 100-150 lm/w. Meaning fewer are needed per square ft. The combination of WW + NW covers 95%+ of PAR, AND, simplifies the assembly process. The other 5% is ~ 660-740. Some genetics like it, some don't. Being pragmatic, I say fogedaboutit
A light panel can contain as many Merkaba clusters as one wants and can afford. Using Cree circular engines as the example each Merkaba cluster is ~ 4" diameter. Size your heat sink accordingly.
Which NM Goes Where
I think the hot ticket would be 1 NW in each center, surrounded by 6 WWs. MMJ only needs ~ 10% blue anyway.
NOW, if the NW was a 3w diode and the WW one watt diodes, the NW could be on its' own dimmable circuit. Run it hot during veg, turn it down during flower.
Hope some of you DIYers run with this and report back.
