    Led Temps - Air vs Leaf Surface

    another question, your spectrometer only sees to 380? Is there a meter like this that reads UV? I would think a spectrometer should be able to read beyond visible light at both ends unless the sensor is different. And if so, can you add one? OK, I'm done. thanks. Sorry to be a bother.

    Waveform leds d50 99cri strips

    I am likely committing a crime posting on an old link.. It hurts getting slapped, but I am searching for the light. Total infant to growing, but as an old dude, I know some things... Like details make the project. I couldn't decide between cmh and led, I like the led as its pretty low tech. So...

    Samsung F Series LED Strip Build for a 3x3' (links for ALL parts inc.)

    HOW DID IT WORK? GOOD WEED? Am looking at doing the same thing. Couldnt make up my mind on cmh light, nobody would say what ballast was bulletproof, so I will go this way, but with multiple drivers so I have redundancy if something fails. going cmh, I wouldnt have been comfortable if I didnt...

    So, I know your shy about sharing your opinions, but just this once.. What, to you knowledge is the finest led on the market? Osram? Samsung? Cree? Those are the only ones I can name. PS: Over the years I have lost 3 men to the coroner from jobsite misshaps. Misshap is a kinder word that...
