    Led strip build

    The link you send is about a led that is 275nm..this is a very short wavelenght..very dangerous to you and the plants...You should look for leds that have 285-310nm... The 280nm ones are easy to find and cheaper..but in my opinion in also dangerous cause what you really need is in 285nmk and 310...

Each bar has also 9 UVA leds 365,385,410nm..well the 410 is near UVA..So..two different channels one for the UVAs..and one for the UVB.. There was also another group of 3 UVA leds per bar that were connected in series with the UVB...

    Watts per sq ft of UV LED?

    The best UVB led in market today is the seoul viosys regarding performance and self life, it cost about 20 $ each one..you need 4-6 leds per square meter...about 100 $. They should last about 3 years minimum...so 30 $ per year.. but probably less..uvb tubes should be changed every year... This...

    Watts per sq ft of UV LED?

    Remember that with these short wavelenghts also need skin protection... What I did was insert some visible leds in series as a signal, so if I forget that UVB ones are running ..those leds will tell me the UVB are on. Also that signal notify me that UVB is doing its work..the UVB leds emit so...

    Watts per sq ft of UV LED?

    I have used succesfully 60 mw output power of 285 nm UVB leds (seoul viosys) starting 30 minutes in veg and upping until 3,5 hours at maximun in flower. This mixed with cheap 365,385,410nm leds about a max of 30 watts of input power Area one square meter 280nm should be more tricky to...

    UV Suppliment Lighting

    They are usable the two..the new Super B seems to be less potent in the 280-310nm range and slightly more potent than the Flower Power from 300-320nm.. So Super B is safer to use..but at the same time needs more time of exposition to provide same quantity of 280-300 UVB...it is a question of...

    UV Suppliment Lighting

    Solacure is much better option than Agromax..this has been stated here in RIU lot of times ....Agromax has an incorrect UVA/UVB ratio... One of the effects of UVA is protect from UVB damage...UVA/UVB ratio in nature is much more similar to solacure than to Agromax... IMHO avoid Agromax... But...
