suggestions on my LED lights set up
Nice to be here oldmac !
Well the more I read the more I'm getting confused.
I read that there are peaks on 667nm, 642nm, 469nm, 439nm
blue gives me the most trouble cause let say china make blue in only 460-470nm
I never found anything in 439nm range.
I know that I should not trust china about 660nm cause I spoke to a lot of companies and only few had this in their inventory, and from them I could only trust one cause he said that they make just 1w, 3w and 5w all above that would be unstable, and they cant couple this leds.
Also, wouldn't be possible to eliminate blue and make this combo:
for chlorophyll A 660nm
for chlorophyll B 635nm
The most I don't understand all UFOs are made in china, and people grow their plants with them, some poor and give up others do very well. But they do it. All are those all lies.
Also about warm white, I read that it has blue wavelengths in it, which ones, 469nm or 439nm.
Unfortunately, I don't have much money to buy brand name leds like cree, edison or ledengin and more unfortunately I live in a place where you cannot buy proper large heatsinks so I give up of making it myself cause it would cost a lot of money for just 50w.
So the newest idea was to buy about 300-400W of spotlights from china. This was what I intended to do:
Pink 410nm
3pcs 2W (1x2W spotlight or 2x1W spotlight)
3pcs 1W (1x1W spotlight)
Blue 460nm
3pcs 7W (7x1W spotlight or 3x3W spotlight)
4pcs 30W (10x3W panel or 6x5w downlight or 30x1W panel or 3x3x3W spotlight + 1W spotlight)
6pcs 5W (1x5W spotlight or 3x2W spotlight or 5x1W spotlight)
Warm White
7pcs 5W (1x5W spotlight or 2x3W spotlight or 5x1W spotlight)
6pcs 5W (1x5W bulb or 2x3W bulb or 5x1W bulb)
Orange 610nm
3pcs 2W (1x2W spotlight or 2x1W spotlight)
3pcs 1W (1x1W spotlight)
Red 630nm
3pcs 10W (10x1W panel or 2x5W spotlight or 3x3W spotlight + 3x1W spotlight)
DeepRed 660nm
3pcs 20W (20x1W panel or 6x3W spotlight + 1x3W spotlight or 2x12x1W spotlight or 2x10x2W spotlight)
10pcs 5W (1x5W spotlight or 2x3W spotlight or 5x1W spotlight)
FarRed 740nm
3pcs 3W (1x3W spotlight)
3pcs 1W (1x1W spotlight)
but now I don't know what to do anymore
it was idea to have flowering, veg and cloning room
cause of many pcs, idea was to be able to transform flow and veg room, if necessary, to 3 smaller ones all to have independent colors in spotlights, so if in case of need that they could be easily removed or thrown away
also in future to buy brand name leds and these ones to use as a supplement
as I can now see that pink and orange do not have much of an impact I will probably remove them, also I don't have yellow nor green, and I don't know which is better to remove them all or have at least 1W from each one
idea was to have few watts from these lights
