I got two 235w "greenfingers 1200w" blurples for a session and a few e27 splitters a few months ago and they have been sitting in the cupboard. Pulled them apart out of boredom and decided I am going to make them borderline usable. They have 120x3w epistar LEDs (45x45mm). There are 39x620/630nm, 39x660/670nm, 2x730-740nm, 22x450-470nm, 2xUV, 8x3000k and 8x6500k diodes on each board.
The driver setup is strange as I'm used to quantum boards with a single driver, and seems unnecessarily complicated, but easy enough to understand and all marked well.
I picked up 40x3000k and 40x6500k 3w diodes for a few dollars and have a heat gun/board and a solder kit. I plan to remove 12 of the blue (6 of each blue) and 28 (14 of each red) from each board and replace them with the white diodes in an effort to save my room from looking like an 80s spaceship maintenance room, and provide more green and yellow to level the spectrum (if I ever use them).
I'll update once the diodes have arrived in a few days. It's always good to have some spares just incase anything goes wrong. If the numerous reviews with ppfd readings (shown on video) I have seen are legit, these put out around 1200umol/s at 12", 760umol at 18" and around 500umol/s at 24", and could have some use with more white.
