FIRST LITTLE WAVE OF INFO, MUCH MORE TO COME!!!!!
QUANTUM DOTS!!!!
Soon my friends I'm going to be very lucky to run a Quantum Dot LED grow light!
BELOW IS SOME GENERAL INFO COPIED AND PASTED FROM THE NANOCO SITE!
WHAT ARE QUANTUM DOTS AND CFQD
Quantum dots are fluorescent semiconductor nanoparticles typically between 10 to 100 atoms in diameter, which is about 1/1000th the width of a human hair.
When one of these particles is excited by an external light source, it absorbs the energy and re-emits the light in a different colour depending on the size of the particle. Therefore, by tuning the size of these particles, one is able to control the colour of light emitted to any colour in the spectrum.
Quantum dots are energy efficient, bright and versatile, making it a true platform technology
with applications spanning from LCD displays, lighting to biomedical applications. Moreover, Nanoco's innovative technology allows for the manufacture of highly efficient quantum dots that are completely cadmium and heavy-metal free.
END OF PASTE
So my friends Some more info on our area of application and these are my words off the top of my head at present. (my head is spinning a bit with all the info I have to wade through etc)
Budmaster are producing these world first new generation grow lights. They are using the only heavy metal free quantum dots that still achieve the same levels as the heavy metal based quantums! Obviously being a environmentally responsible company is a consideration they take seriously. These quantum dots will be sandwiched in a this layer of a screen, this is then lit by NEW bespoke LED's from behind.
Now using the sizing of the dots as well as the NEW bespoke LED's and special screens that don't interfere with their output means that the spectral output can be dialled into levels never seen by any other type of lighting. So now the tech is present to actually dial the wavelength's in to fit specific plant species!
Also there is no change to the spectral output when measuring over any distance (unless interference from ambient light) like normal led grow lights do as the colour changes up and down. So you can measure anywhere in a tent and get totally even and consistent readings!
Now these dots are going to be everywhere soon enough, one development for these Quantum dots (a special blend) is going to be aiding in the fight against cancer! The special blend are fitted with some kind of cancer receptor, then they can be injected into the body! Then they attach themselves to any Cancerous area and then with any extra light source is introduced they light up showing the exact area to be cut out etc.
Anyway my friends this is my news and its going to keep coming over the next few weeks I'm sure as I have lots to read and more documents to receive and pics etc, etc.
