Thinking of a new light ..

[stardustsailor]

Και να θέλει κάποιος να σε μισήσει δεν μπορεί ορε Sailor.
Άσε μας βραδιάτικα που κάθεσαι και ασχολείσαι με τους haters!
Συνέχισε αυτό που κανεις πρώτα απ'όλα για τον εαυτό σου και οποιος γουστάρει ακολουθεί!


Sorry for my greek language guys,but when i see one Greek guy be apologized to the haters i pissed off!

Έχεις απόλυτο δίκιο...

 

[stardustsailor]

I take haters as a complement. The more haters you have, the more likely you are doing something spectacular

Just post a picture of your last plant you grew with your DIY lights!

Also absolutely right ...

Yeah ! ..LOL !

Sds....you da man. Don't let anyone tell you different. Your beyond DIY...you got just as much if not more skills than all of the sellers. Except..you share loads of info...that most would like to keep to themselves.

People act like mj is legal worldwide...maybe we should motivate people to grow and enjoy herb before we put money making endeavors first. Part of that is making sure peeps use a good set of lights and not some untested crapola

I'm blushing 660nm right now. You're just jealous and buy solder less.

~ $650

Why no UV ?
Simply because I wanted a 100% CXA panel ...
I've some 'open bets' going on ,with some grow-pals here ,at my home-land ...
( HPS 400 W vs CXA 300 W ....That kind of bet ... )

Yes ,my opinion is that UV is the 'missing link ' to greenhouses (plastic foil /glass panels filters out almost 100% of UV ) and to any artificial horticultural illumination ...

At least ,regarding nutrient value,aromas,taste ,vitamins ,anti-oxidants ,etc ...
UV is the 'action ' ,all of the above are 'plant's reaction ' ...

It's not DIY, it's high tech R&D!

Glass converts UV to IR. Most plastics (unless coated) allow UV to pass right through.

That's why you should avoid plastic sunglasses, unless you trust the manufacturer with your eyesight.

 

[stardustsailor]

LMAO ,guys ...
Thank you all ..
You've just made my ...night ...
Peace brothers and stay safe !

" Within the Ultraviolet Spectrum, Ultraviolet UVB (short wavelength high frequency) & UVA (long wavelength low frequency) are the spectrum of UV light of most concern to us. Referencing the table below, general purpose acrylic naturally filters all UV light below 345nm-(100% UVB), but only 35% of UVA light. Simliarly, ordinary window glass passes about 90% of the light above 350 nm, but blocks over 90% of the light below 300 nm. Many applications, such as document, artifact, and artwork preservation call for a material which absorbs ultraviolet light in its most damaging range from 285 to 400nm.

Many pigments and dyes absorb UV and change color, so paintings and textiles may need extra protection both from sunlight and fluorescent bulbs, two common sources of UV radiation. Old and antique paintings such as watercolor paintings, for example, usually must be placed away from direct sunlight. These factors are why many museums place black curtains over watercolor paintings and ancient textiles
because watercolors can have very low pigment levels and need extra protection from UV light. "

wouldnt the IR be bad for your eyes too

 

[stardustsailor]

Polymers that transmit UV (only when chemical pure ,though )
-PMMA (plexiglass) : 90-95%
-PET (polyethylene) : 90-98%
-PS (polystyrene ) :90-95%
-PC ( Polycarbonate / Lexan ) : 90%
-Semi-transparent Teflon (PFA type ) : >95%
-White teflon (PTFE type) : Scattering UV

IR (and deep red leds ! ) on the contrary ,is under research for possible wound healing enhancement /speed up ...
Water inside the eye ,absorbs almost 100% of IR ..It almost never reaches to the eye's retina ..
