This is not the same thing as full controll of far red/uv: you have switches but how would you put them on a timer? Not saying the light is bad but if you wanna do end of day you still need some more far reds. This kinda light spectrum is very similar to the High lights. Problem i have with these is that i dont believe the spectrum is a good representation of of full power operation. No way does those few uv diodes give that much light in comparison to 240w of samsung. If it looks to good to be true its probably not. But then again i dont think the plants would actually like that much uv, and the light will probably work fine for the price. But there are affordable alternatives, from reliable forum sponsors, readily available.So the heatsink on the Bava board is 26mm which is 2.6CM which translates to 1.06 inches, you will have full control over the far red, deep red and UV to dial in your grow. The hard part is to figure out if you want individual units or a 720 watt kit which can daisy chains together and comes with a rail to align the boards. I choose to go individual so I have control over the light placement and can go fill up the room or just a portion. Pick up 5 240 watt units and ask for a discount from either Alwen or Jevon and tell them a friend from Pakistan sent you.

Interestingly enough I suggested that the UV and Red/FR should have their own timer built in since we know that 12 hours needed to get flowers and should be the next design however the wiring would change and Alwen didn't say no but he didn't say yes. I will be flipping them to flowering this and if you all want and as I promised I can create a journal as needed.
@Rocket Soul thank you for bringing the High Lights to my attention and with a 20% discount, I might just pull the trigger. For those that don't know about the Aussie company, the forum and the website can be found below.

So the results from TEKNIK's goniometer testing came back today and we're pretty happy with the results. 2.47 umol/j for a CRI94 board isn't too bad at all. The other board tested 2.46 umol/j at CRI95. First thing I'd like to do is thank TEKNIK for donating their time and resources to this...

Interestingly enough I might be able to avoid taxes if they are sent via regular mail and not DHL but then again I plan to visit London in the coming month or so and I may just purchase them from there if DIYUK can exclude VAT charges.

What would be your choice and why?
one 3000k and one 3500k along with a 50 watt cree 660 red to experiment with
the drivers need some active cooling so a window fan worked out nicely
Yes that is right ... Bava is second on my list ... just the epistar leds ... are just second on my list is f you take a closer look on the spectral distribution .. epistars red for me look like just christmas tree illumination .. don't make, a lot of difference. I might be wrong ... Bava light indeed look very net and peofessional...so sorry they don't offer a Cree option . What do you think?So the heatsink on the Bava board is 26mm which is 2.6CM which translates to 1.06 inches, you will have full control over the far red, deep red and UV to dial in your grow.

Yes, .. you are reinforcing my plans and that is almost exactly what you told. ... just building and making it requires a lot more effort and obviouosly we are humans want to believe in simpler lazy simple solutions.... thank you for opening my eyes .. I'll defienetly try to overcome my lazyness
one more question .. as I see from specs the Sams Lm301h are all CRI above 90 .... Is that true ... pls see link https://static6.arrow.com/aropdfconversion/bb7b30ddb7f49dcea92e9c0d6f466b99aa769315/data_sheet_lm301h_cri90_rev.1.0.pdf
I'm not a eletrician but I think it would be great challange to modifify the swith and attach a digital timer on each channel. What do you think?
no this data sheet is for CRI90 the ones from ali baba are CRI80
the reds on the bava are Osram and not epistar

I wouldnt say so. I think this is the datasheet for 90cri, then there would be another for 80cro

Those high lights do look nice, too rich for my blood but it’s nice to know my 48ab drivers will power a pair of the boards.
I wish it was the end of March so I could see what the KB setup can do! Anyone have a grow on the go using China boards with the added Cree 660’s?

Thanks for the info, figures that I'd fudge up a little detail like that, lol. Oh well these boards are gonna be driven close to a hundred at all times anyways since these are gonna be my veg boards. At least I know now for when I grab my flower boards and drivers. Only reason I wanted to be about to dim them was because eventually I wanna cover the whole canopy and run then softer like someone around here that I seen. Can't remember his name at the moment though, he's in this thread.

You could allways get more boards and run 2 boards per 120 for soft operation, that way you dont need more drivers.

Thanks for the ideas man, you guys are the shit. Thinking I might just return the drivers and get the AB ones though since Amazon is pretty easy to return shit and I found the AB ones I was supposed to get for 8 bucks cheaper than I paid for the A ones on Amazon anyways. Plus I just really like the idea of having an actual knob for dimming functions so I can crank em down a bit for the little times I'm in the tent working on em. Don't wanna be getting blasted with the force of the sun when I go in my tent and grabbing a screwdriver every time will annoy the shit out of me eventually.

UV is very tricky to use correctly without letting the tops of the plants mature way before the rest.
There seem to be 2 schools of thought. One leaves a 24 Uv free period between each UV application to avoid building up UV resistant pigments, the other only applies UV in the last 2 weeks when the buds only have building and ripening left.
