Cheers.. :) If using whites though.. get the XP-G's.. lower voltage and higher lumen output. :) http://www.cutter.com.au/products.php?cat=Cree+XPG

Depends on the diodes. If you look at the spectral output of the Cree whites I provided, you see pretty much all the required wavelengths. Some more and some less.. depending on the type of white, ie: Cool, Warm, or Neutral. I'm not saying Cree "specifically", but I don't know the other...

I should also mention, if I didn't already... They used to tell us a panel consisting of both 1w and 3w diodes wasn't good, and that they should all be 3w. Personally.. I think that's incorrect. Reason being.. a blue diode needs twice as much energy to equal a red diode's output. Here's from...

I'm always civil.. like I said, I just don't like being told to shut up. :D

I'd go with the 90°, but really depends on the grid/spread of your diodes/wavelengths. Example.. the reef tank community uses "only" CoolWhites and RoyalBlues. CW RB CW RB CW RB CW RB CW RB CW RB RB CW RB CW RB CW RB CW RB CW RB CW They use the 60° lenses for their setups, but they also...

Unless you are using InfraReds.. even 735nm's at the proper ratio.. you'd be better off directing that heat back down to the plants. The one thing that's becoming quite apparent with LEDs.. the "lack of heat" is actually a "downfall" when it comes to gardening. The plants aren't transpiring...

Sorry man.. wasn't trying to argue.. was just giving an opinion. Buddy has the DS300, and says that's the same panel.

Only thing "different" that "I" can see, is the mention of "11 wavelengths".. these are filled in by the whites. For instance.. look at what Cree whites put out... Pretty easy to see where they get their "11 wavelengths" from.. It's just "creative advertising". :)

That's who Advanced commissions to make "their" panels. You can get alternative spectrums, just need to ask. I've been told they also have different case options.. not sure if that's just colour or what though. But the "case" isn't what makes them grow... :P ps: I'd post the actual E.shine...

Sorry man.. missed this earlier.. :) As for "kits"... if you're looking for kits like the reefers.. ie: pre-drilled heatsinks, drivers, and stars.. the best I can suggest, is the pre-drilled heatsinks from those shops, then get the coloured diodes from either cutterelectronics (or similar)...

I agree that there's not enough blue being used in the commercial panels.. that's why my design is loaded with blue.. both from monochromatic diodes, as well as the CoolWhites, and WarmWhites.. somewhat. My personal belief.. the best gardens out there, incorporate BOTH hps and mh.. at a 3:2...

They have "some", but not at the same ratio the panels utilize 660nm. But if you figure HPS does pretty damn good as it is, then "maybe" 10% is really all that's needed.

$500 direct from factory, shipping included.

Listen to you bud.. you're hilarious. :p Demanding?? I asked questions like everyone else asks questions. I spotted a scammer right from the start, and by "your" reasoning, I should'a kept my mouth shut, and just let "it play out". Play out?? What.. let it continue for 3 or more more months...

I'm just pissed because someone seems to want deprive me of my right to freedom of speech. And then act like he did nothing wrong.

Howe many times do you need to be told the questions weren't directed towards you? YOU have no right to dictate to ANYONE what they can ask. If you don't like it, too fucking bad. 63?? LoL! Then you should know what the fuck I'm talking about. Instead, you just sound like a fucking little kid...

Here's the thing PetFlora... I'm Canadian, living in a free society. I have every damn right to ask a question. And I didn't ask more than a few times. You told me to shut the fuck up.. yeah, I got pissed off. I'm an old man.. I don't take shit like that too lightly. You don't have to agree...

Cheers...... :) And the lenses still mount to the stars. :D You can buy heatsinks pre-drilled at rapidled and other reef tank places. Reefcentral has lots of links. http://www.rapidled.com/servlet/the-Heat-Sinks/Categories Or, you can also get U channel at Home Depot. If in Canada, we...

http://reefledlights.com/shop/solderless-led-holder/ Extremely easy to use.. just screw in the self tapping screws, and screw clamp the wires. You can even buy the heatsinks pre-drilled or pre-drilled and tapped. Depending on what you want to spend. There's other shops out there as well, but...

Should also mention the $1500 (or abouts) includes the arduino controllers (4), and another 10"x10" clone/veg panel with the left over whites I have.. about 27w I think it was. So for 3 101w panels, 1 27w panel, and 4 controllers for $1500.. that's actually pretty descent. The drivers are...
