Horticultural LED lighting is still in its infancy stages of what it can do. Problem is technology advances so fast diodes are constantly being switched/ upgraded before long term testing can actually be done.What are the possibility of using LED in the next 3 years for full on grows, 500W bulbs? or more? Post comments as im very interested in where its going, ive seen articles saying that the price per lumen within the next few years will be a fraction of what it is today.
Probably why most universities are still messing with blurple because they need long term proven results which can take 3-5 years.
Control of spectrum is too much to put in the hands of most hobbiests. Coming from the saltwater aquarium world the LED craze has been happening for the past 7 years and is still be debated but is mostly accepted as the industry norm. Every day there was a thread about what settings I should use so the 9 channels of independent control and thunderstorms all became useless because everyone wanted a proven set schedule that works.
I think manufacturers should leave spectrum control alone and just allow intensity to be adjusted.
Isn't OLED supposed to be king and the future of where leds are going anyways?
