Here's the wording:
"Each SPYDR 600 is Built-to-Order in the USA with the highest quality materials, including top-bin LEDs from Osram"
So for certain wavelengths they use OSRAM, at least that's how I read it. You can also ask OSRAM if BML uses their diodes/dies. If BML can't flat out state where their diodes are coming from, I would take their PAR, umols, PPF, whatever readings with great scrutiny. How were the readings conducted? Did they do the readings or did they use an independent lab? Are they just doing math to estimate what the PPF is? Where are the diodes coming from?
Then there's this in the Grow Max 600 section:
"Each fixture uses 270 Osram LEDs evenly distributed over the fixture's 36" x 36" footprint" OK so what diodes are the GrowMAX using? Doesn't say on the page. But 270 OSRAMs gotta grow something right? So why can't I find that info? State secret? RhinoGrow tells ya what they use. Just read the Spyder brochure and I couldn't find a list of the diodes used in the GrowMAX either. Got a hot scientist though with lipstick on though. I remember when my sis used to run labs. Never left without her lipstick on. Hmm, maybe she wasn't a lab worker after all. LOL
Listen I'm not here to bury BML, (though it would be amusing if they blow just to see what PetFlora will say, LOL), but it's like someone once said on here and or on another board and it goes something like this. "The nicer the LED panel's website is, the shittier the panels are". Now that might sound stoopid to everyone but think about it.
A51-Nothing fancy. Pretty simple.
Apache- Yeah they'll be updating that site any year now.
Han's- Hasn't changed in a dogs age.
Plantphotonics- 1990 called and they want their website back.
and then there's
Advanced- American Flags, everything's 5 stars. Slick and shiny.
Bysen- Slick as slick. Nice cases but not a lot of real LED info.
HHut- Nice site, but are hiding some terrible people and panels if the stories are to be believed.
Supergrow LED, HydroGrow, Magnum. Beautiful sites. Should I go on?
BML has a very nice site. But if peeps wanna try them I'm more than happy to say I was wrong about BML. Let's just not put the cart before the horse as the Amish like to say . Personally I think they do work but there's just some things that makes me scream "ShieldsUP!".
