As usual @Rocket Soul is on the money. The UV boards are the original spectrum and were designed as a "true" full-spectrum single-channel (one driver) LED board aimed at providing the best balance between yield and quality without the addition of supplemental lighting. We're not claiming it is...

Ha! Ha! You beat me to it! Those guys should know better than to kill your buzz! Don't ask. I've been reading lots of physics lately and was reading about why a unit of photon energy is called an "einstein" and came across his theory. A lot of things made sense after reading that, even though...

Haha! I'm not entering into that argument! :mrgreen: I did have a look through the studies posted above and I have read others including the Italian study @ChiefRunningPhist posted up, which both @Prawn Connery and I have also linked to in the past. So I know there is at least some information...

Beautiful plants mate. They look really healthy. And no signs of excessive stretch during veg. Which is what we've been saying all along: High Lights may have extra red and far red compared to CRI80 based strips and boards, but they balance that at the other end of the spectrum with added...

Sounds like bad timing for everything. Sorry mate.

Hi ZooWeeMaMa, we've just run out of single heatsinks and are hoping to restock in 2-3 weeks time. Unfortunately we are like everyone else as many products have stopped shipping out of Chine, first due to the Chinese New Year holiday, and then due to the coronavirus regulations. Many Chinese...

You know, the worst thing about all this is that we are literally just across the India Ocean from you in Western Australia, but shipping costs to South Africa are still higher than sending products to just about anywhere else in the world. I don't know why, but DHL and Australia Post both lump...

Hey, you sure seem to like those Nichia 5000K. I think I've answered the same question in the other thread, but can you tell us why you think Nichia 5000K make such good flowering lights? And are you talking about Nichia's Optisolis? Because if you are, then they are only a 100mA LED and about...

We will be selling these when they are made available. You can also buy them direct from LED Teknik and I can't speak for @welight (Cutter) but maybe he will be selling them too? I'm not sure yet when they will be fully available, but probably within the next month or two. I think Teknik just...

The Nichia Optisolis use two different epis: a 450nm pump for 2700-4000K, and a 420nm pump for 5000+K. I'm not sure how you are reading those spectral graphs but there is a huge difference in the ratio or red:blue comparing 3000K Optisolis to 5000K. We use 2700K Optisolis to supplement red...

As Cutter explained, the LEDs are fully encased in an IP68 housing with a diffuser lens, so there are inherent losses associated with the trade-off of being fully waterproof. As the Buddies are not intended to be primary lighting, 2+ umol/j system efficiency for under-canopy lighting is still...

Here we go. Bit late to the party :)

Looks colourful mate. Did you give the tent a good wipe down before you stuck all those LEDs on? :roll: For those wondering, those little sticky LEDs are called "Buddies" and they are a new product by LED Teknik that we're hoping to sell soon. I'll post another thread with all the specs when...

Thanks loco. As I said to someone else today, it's funny because the original High Light was designed and built precisely because a few growers knew what they wanted but no-one was making it. I guess the moral of the story is, if you want something done you've gotta do it yourself! :D

It certainly does. Which is why we designed a bigger board with 2mm aluminium PCBs to enable them to run at up to 150W without heatsinks (which is twice high as other boards without heatsinks). It's also why we try to bundle heatsinks as cheap as we can to help growers get the most power out of...

I guess anything is possible. But perhaps it helps to understand that we designed the orginal High Light board specifically to get away from multi-channel boards, as it was always our aim to make things simpler and cheaper for those who just wanted to hang their lights and grow. Right now there...

It's a matter of scale. I mean, we've only just produced one board (OK, two variations) so there's only so much we can do in the near future. We don't have our own factory – we use another company in Australia for assembly – so we're not really in a position yet to start pumping out new products...

You are correct. In fact, you could probably run such a board with no heatsink and no aluminium backing – especially if you made the PCB with 2.5mm or 3mm aluminium to help with rigidity. The main drawbacks are you would end up with a slightly more expensive board when comparing diode to diode...

If it's just a one-off or occasional use, then yes, remove the LEDs first and you should be fine. I wasn't sure if you were planning to run the vaporiser continuously whilst the LEDs were running or just intermmitently.

We try to include a broad spectrum on the boards to negate using supplements and make things simpler for growers who want to set and forget. But I agree some growers may want to run different channels for initiator far reds and/or UV etc. Our current board diameter matches common 206mm...
