I don't know anymore. After staying up for 24 hours straight wandering down the golden path of what's right, then finding out the path splits off into 2 more directions, then 2 more, then 2 more..........smoke started to pour out of my ears and I forgot where I was going in the first place.
Agreed. I have no interest in LEDs, if I did I would go to that forum. This was suppose to be about T5 lighting, but apparently even the (MIA) pr0fesseur has given it up.
We are using T5's. Light is light, and with all the wavelength/spectrum information that people are doling out in the LED industry it's a nice resource to use when figuring out a T5 setup. At least try to read a few pages before making annoying judgements lol. The name of the thread does have the word LED in it so I can't imagine discussing or comparing LEDs to T5s would against any rules. I guess I really don't get what your point is though.
His UN says it all (no offense Novice). You should know by now (based on the comment you made about finally beginning to understand what I have been saying) that the T5 info alone can be overwhelming. I have learned a lot from this thread, too. Thankfully, I never bought the Fiji, not that it's a bad light, but it costs as much as a 660
The only thing I would change is not to incorporate the 660s until mid-flower. Not because it isn't a good idea, but I am told they don't last long, and at $30 a pop, well.... I just shot Jeff an email to confirm. Keep in mind the Florosun has a decent 660 band + 500-600: I use 2 in both V&B. New pics tomorrow. All I can say coming dow the wire on blending aquarium bulbs is that I have never had such tight PHAT nuggz
Are they running the bulbs non stop or 20 hours a day or what? They just started making the bulbs less than 6 months ago. I have not even been doing par t5 for a year yet.
good question.......
UVL started developing these 660nm lamps along side an overseas lamp manufacturer (Hungary I believe?) long before this thread even started supposedly. I think it's a pretty amazing coincidence that when PF contacted UVL they already knew about the 660nm potential. Makes you think twice about collective conscience doesn't it? LOL, anyway PF said that they were running the lamps 10 hours a day in his post so that's most likely what they've been doing. Unless of course you think they are full of shit. I highly doubt it. These lamps are top of the line and work extremely well. But please do not buy them so there are more for me!
well they could have, HID bulbs are tested 24/7 in non vented rooms
The H in HONOR is not silent bro,sorry but that's just a fact of the English language.
