I'd check to see the actual wall draw. If 1200w w/o a dimmer for real, then I'd render it useless in a tent, especially if only one driver. Only for high bay applications.

Yes, leds in general are directional. Midpowers with no lens included. The primary lens on 1+3 waters can be whatever they want now w/o a secondary optics loss. Mid-Powers are direction as well. To many clustered together creates a laser feel effect the plants don't like. This is one reason why...

True. Many think certain chips are the only Chips that will work. Same with drivers. There are many top-teir of both not readily used on a regular. But we don't know if we're truly getting L-70 @ the specified hrs. Most cases not if your heatsink gets real hot. Then the B-rating could be B-70...

It's tough for growers to decipher the good from the bad from the ugly now that almost every light is the same with a slight cosmetic difference or diodes. Spectrum, layouts, features are all the same. Specs are very close & can be a lie at any time from China directly. But when the majority of...

Howdy! The 50 ppfd is low but if using a clone dome might be right as the moisture drops magnify the light & gotta take et easy on small cuttings if they are. I agree Gavita as well as Fluence are not my cup-o-tea. Problem is so many copied those spectrums including luxx right? Can't find the...

Exactly well said. But I think it's the majority of manufacturers doing the miss-leading.

Did u say you wish you had the $ for the the lil extra light a Diablo puts out while saying you can't go past 50% on your R-Spec? Then Throw a 30w uva bar in the middle. Lol! Got rid of my Diablo to replace with my 8 yr old cob/mono array light.

Exactly well said. But I feel the lack of knowledge lies with the majority of led grow light manufacturers. Those sticking to hps usually tried the switch & weren't down to make all the unnatural adjustments needed to optimize the results of using Non-Hortictural spectrums, deployed as lasers...

Out of the sponsors here The company I use is bo longer a sponsor hear. I guess you could mix some linear burples With The typical white + Red but none of the sponsors here carry an all in one solution that um aware of. If you do this method search for burples that fill the gaps in white If...

Lol! NP! Actually An LED Comp. Did! Gotta be real careful what I say but aim to share the truth & help those I can & maybe learn a few things along the way. Nice to be here!

That would apply to QB's but bar or strip lights let the air pass like nothing was there practically.

Not good unless bar end is adjacent from another bar. Endcaps should be close to butted for uniformity. They do not cover a 5x5 unless you were to flip-flop the lights so overlapping occurs which it does not on the endcap sides. Filp-Flop & you can keep the same grid & cover a 5x5 instead of a 5x4.

I'm surprised Gavita didn't answer this for you. The endcaps are the dead sides with a large drop there after 3" past the endcap. For your particular set-up, what you have with a 4" gap is nice as it gives the plants a resting zone, not just pounded all the time. On the other hand, it is...

150-350. Spectrum as well as photon density (intensity) makes a big difference in root production or how fast a seed breaks ground & weather it enlongates, becomes squat or in the middle.

Hi, don't know what your existing 35k+65k+red looks like but the Maxi is just the Gavita spectrum using the Samsung Evos or of the like. Personally not a fan of gappy spectrums myself. But it's a full cycle that should work well enough if not overly lit as it's primarily a Defficient human led...
