Here's a good representation... I've been saying this time and time again... I was even ridiculed for it, heres the proof...

yeah, great, so we're on the same page. You can't say HLG weren't instrumental in the exploision of mid-power whites... if they are the biggest I'm not even sure. Like was mentioned above here, the chinese brands like Meijiu, Kingbrite, Mars Hydro and then spiderfarmer, medicgrow etc etc... blew...

Yep, that's exactly right. Growmau5 is legend, especially in the DIY space and sharing knowledge. The quantum board was the catalyst.

Where were you when the first quantum boards hit? And who was competing?

No one claiming 'the only way here...' I always looked at XPG to a SSL competitor or maybe even a Oslon Square competitor. These new osconiqs however are the newest leap in 4Q 2024. A light like this could easily be designed using other monos and hp whites and still be impressive. Cree has...

There is a conundrum with LED in terms of relative compromises of designing a full-cycle spectrum which will suite the widest ranges of cultivars. Personally believe HLG are doing a good job here, albeit quite blue. Ideally, the're should be a switch to add more 640-666nm range deep red and a...

But misunderstand me correctly. We are talking about combining HP white with mono HP Red (and possibly blue.) At least I am. By going by the new Osconiq P line: Red: 4.59PPE/6.13PPF White: 2.62PPE/5.36PPF Blue: 2.82PPE/5.76PPF By all means, please explain why you believe Cree offers a better...

I don't see how you can claim that when Cree do not give radiant flux values in mW, nor do they provide radiant efficiency in their data sheets. You're going to get a significant increase in PPE if you go to 350mA as in cree datasheet...

You're right. The only significant variables to lighting in yield is not spectrum, it's photon output, temperature and watering/Nute regiment, also VPD has a lot going for it. The newest studies show that spectrum has little effect en masse compared to output and temperature. So if you want...

Output/efficiency. 5.5 is pretty impressive for HP white. Also they test at 700ma which is concurrent with red.

Easy, price... Have you seen the price on the Philips lights? And btw that's not entirely true... There are few videos on YT where they talk about blurples. You are getting a lot higher efficiency from them.

Yeah, I would agree although I'm not sure if you can get the benefit of either higher CRI or lower CCT with the HP white diodes. As far as I can see, the only whites that make sense in the HP range are the new Osqonics from Osram, although I'm sure there are more: I don't believe they specify...

Nah... You're either using lighting in greenhouses to either extend the day in either the morning or night time, and to deliver photons on gloomy days. Red has higher photo-value than other wavelengths and whites have enough blue and green in them. By using mono blues you could decrease whites...

Yeah buddy! Exactly right. The blurple back then is nothing, and I mean nothing compared to today's highly efficient blue and red monos. With the damn impressive increase in efficiency of high power whites, there is no reason consumers shouldn't be powering their tents with high-power only...
