My opinion is that we should have a huge argument about them, true to tradition, til everybody just wants to die.So is anyone going to give their opinion on Amare LED’s ??
My more serious opinion: they have for long put spectrum over absolute raw efficiency. I've not seen any hard evidence for efficiency claims but they may be right, at least on a board level. But no indie reports from sphere or gonio and a lot of people says they can find them on Alibaba. There doesn't seem to be a super secret sauce with regards to spectrum and photosynthesis; All Light Matters, and all will grow but playing with different spectrums can change morphogenic behaviour of the plant:
Lots of red (and at least some blue): "greedy" growth, tends to grow fairly fast and soft, like the kind of tissue that are in fresh shoots. But the plant may not be the best come flower as branches and trunk is forgotten when the plant tries to make the best out of favorite spectrum. Sorta forgets the infrastructure.
Lots green: more fibrous growth, harder trunk. Inhibits blue response including transpiration.
Lots of blue: top cannopy behaviour: inhibits stretch and keeps them short, increased transpiration and root building. Lower yield but higher THC % but similar total THC as other spectrums.
Monos: 420-430, 470, 660 and 730nm: all these nanometers are poorly covered by normal leds, covering them can increase plant health in various ways.
All this is my self educated opinion based on reading and watching, no I won't go look for article quotes, there are always quote whores amongst us. I encourage anyone to check up on it themselves.
