"I will concede that most 3w+ LEDs are multi-chip, but you can find single-chip emitters, and they are (so far) offering better performance than higher-powered multi-chip LEDs. "

Mahalo, saved me diggin' out da cyclops.

I do appreciate your point of view and approach, as a producer.
"offering better performance "
As a personal grow amateur, ainokea 'bout "da last drop":rastasmoke:

Weezard Reviewed by Weezard on . Importance of 460nm red LEDs? Here is something very confusing to me. Many LED proponents loudly proclaim the need for 460-470nm red LEDs over the cheaper 630nm LEDs. I understand that this better coincides with the accepted chlorophyll B absorption peak. So far so good. LEDs veg very well given appropriate wattage & color. So far so good. LEDs do not compare (generally) to HPS flowering as far as yield. (Please - let's not go off in that direction here. Thank you!) Rating: 5
