Upgrading LED Lights

Anyone notice my bridgelux clones have that spinly outward look like a foxtail except its not because it stops. Same clones under samsung have a more receeded but structure. Hard to explain, just a more normal bud structure. Same under the samsungs but different brand light. Why might that be? Two runs in a row and three runs with the viparspec samsung. More than three if to count the mars ts1000’s.

maybe its the osrams

Dude! I'm totally on board with this. I just had a spider farmer with those diodes and all my growth stopped, shot got weird. Sent it back for the Migro Veg light (all samsung) boom back in action! They say all of today's fixtures are the same? Nahhhh I don't think so! Glad you pointed this out.

Yea I saw that on your journal was like what a coincidence lol. Basically ran into the same issues as me almost. I like that the migro is a bar so I could put a box fan over a couple of those I think.

For me I just need the anolog dimmer style and aerodynamic so I can dim it. But yea some lights like the ts1000 never gave issues while the vipar needs to be used carefully even tho the ppfd isnt that high. Just well spread 900 ppfd at 12” which I had much higher up and it burned it quick.

I think the manufactures make their lights at different intensities at different percentages set. That would be obvious just thinking about how each light is a bit different. I think when @Rocket Soul said theyre all similar they said the spectrum is but maybe they didnt mean literally. That they each still can perform a little differently.

Box fans would totally work. Imma have the newest Array 4 soon, maybe not this next flower cycle but definitely for my next.

Thats alot of light at 12inches.

Id love to try someones diy light I just do the bars only but would like to see what a tweaked spectrum would do. Since I know my clones so well. Getting to know the bridgelux its the newest to me.

Can you tell which was the bridgelux? Its most of them. That spiked nug look is the bridgelux I never seen before.
