LED grow lights... input please.

[oldmac]

I certainly understand.

Check out this white about 1/3 down the page, CCS100A. It has a spike in blue and red, almost exactly where peak chlorophyll activity is. Looks like 465 ad 645. I'd like to see someone explain why this white is not good for growing plants. If I could only choose one LED to grow with, this might be it. http://www.bocaflasher.com/pdf/photo...2006-05-22.pdf

Opie,

I took one look at that ccs100a, and the (LED) light bulb went on over my head.
That is a RGB based white....it has no phosphar coating. Three dies (red,green,blue) produce the spikes w/ corresponding curve. This would be far superior to hitting 'specific' light wave length.
I see no reson why this one should not work.

When I get a chance latter I hope to look further at the rest of the specs for that ccs100a.

Thanks for engaging me in thinking about this.
Ideas are starting to flow in my mind...gotta slow it down and vape a bowl.
