Hey guys, what's the latest prices on the 3590's, and who is currently cheapest? Anyone know when

[klx]

I switched from vero29 3k and I believe I will prefer 3k 3590's. I will be running 50/50 until finish. I will see which side I prefer.

Cool, am interested to see how it goes.

You running a side by side compare?

I'm wanting to build a 4 or 5 cob light just for veg, I see most peeps using the 5000k version but wouldn't the 6500k be a better spectrum? And maybe a higher bin too?

5000 and 6500 are both in DB right now.

So why are a lot of people running 5000k,s instead of 6500k?

a lot of people think too much blue is a bad thing (bleaching, inhibition of processes, etc)

remember a 5000 and 6500k cob is really not the same spectrum as the same color in fluorescent

experimentation is in order.

do you have some type of chart that shows how dif 6500k led is from 6500k floro somewhere here?

heres a couple different 6500k T5s:

heres a 5700k cxb3590 (couldnt find a spectrum for 6500)

Great post Bobby_G

those charts are pretty small but it looks like the cob is much broader spectrum than a t5.although its tough to compare because the t5 chart is for 2 dif t5 lamps and both lack in the 550 to 650 nm
