I do not eat meat ( chicken ,pork ,cow,sheep,rabbits,elgs ,deers,etc...)
Still I do eat fish,urchin,octopus,squid and plenty more weird sea animals ..
I'm not a vegetarian ,am I ?
:P
Cheers
:peace:
Most probably ,it will do .
People ,seem to forget ,that aside from the photosynthetic value of 660 nm red ,
it has a great photomorphogenic and a very profound circadian effect too .
Supplying the whole 600-700 nm red band ,
is way better than any combo of monochromatic red leds...
Let alone...
This type of COB (Duet 2400 ) if driven at spec ( 6A ) or more ,
it belongs to greenhouse horticulture and only there ...
It should be hanged at least 4-5 meters ( 12'- 14' ) above leaf canopies...

Currently ,they have made a nice supplemental lighting for a PC LED COB 3000 K or 4000 K main light .
Still , that is far from a dedicated LED COB for growing plants ....

Hm..
Surely it wortrhs some testing ...

If you don't know what carotenoids are, they basically protect your plant of excess energy =light (in very simple terms).

"Blue broad band 400-499 nm " : Highest RQE of the band is at 424 nm - 434 nm ,
with a value of 0.76 ( 450 nm has RQE of 0.75 )

Sharp Zenigata ,Tiger series ....
2700°K 93Ra + 5700°K 87Ra in one COB ,two channels.
A tad expensive ,not super efficient but it will do fine as "supplementing " some controlable
bands to a 3000K or a 4000K main lighting ....

Hey Alex ...
Would not be better if each section had 15 rows of 12 diodes ,
instead of 12 rows x 15 diodes ?
Then at 6A Vf would have been close to 36,87 V and each diode will be driven
at 400mA (instead of 500 mA ) ...
That should gain some efficiency ...

The spec sheet of the Duet 2400 needs ..reworking ...
Digitized the graph with the blue section emission ,from 400 to 600 nm = x range .
( max Y value line = 6E+5 uW/nm = 600 000 uW/nm =600 mW / nm )
....
Then y data obtained ,passed on a spreadsheet ...
Total output 400-600 nm power = 12,68...
And probably there are few mistakes ,too...
For the red phosphor part ..
If that graph was done while :
Vf=46,1 V , If = 6A ,per each red channel ...
Then at the graph the figures at the y axe ( uW/nm ) are missing one zero..
It should be 900000 uW/nm and not 90000 .
If that is the case then...
