This light burns my RED retinas

[stawawager]

Veg. LED light or flowering LED light? Hi, Is this light good for vegetative growth as well as flowering?

Is it harmful to our eyes? Thanks

Don't waste your money. Have a look at all the DIY builds. Chip on board (COB) LED'S is where its at. Full spectrum white light not a bunch of mixed mono LED'S

@bicit said it best in another thread so I will quote part of his post here.

"The best emitters for horticulture purposes would be the CREE CXB line and the bridgelux vero line of cobs. Choose a company that makes use of these emitters and you won't be disappointed.

Optic growlights, pacific lighting concepts, and area-51 are the best to choose from right now."

It'll grow a plant, that's all that can really be said about it. It's not really optimal for anything specific and there are much better choices on the market.

Growing is good! THANKS. That Galaxy is a beast. I plan to use it, in conjuction with two other types. I need some guidance on that.

Or, Give me $800 so I can buy two cobbs.

You could easily build a proper cob panel to fit your budget. Just not CXB3590's.

6 x CXB3070 (AB bin) ran at 1.4A would give you approx 300 watts at 45.43% efficiency (approx 136 par watts) you can run these 6 CXB's from two Meanwell HLG-120H-C1400.
