hey fellas and felladies. iv recently started looking into doing a diy cob led with the citizen clu058 1825 @ 1400ma and was curious when selecting temperatures. iv always been under the impression that 2700k is a good color spectrum for flowering. does the citizen clu058 1825 80cri in 2700k ran at 1400ma fall under the 570nm? and seem to be a decent spectrum? because its base efficiency is 2250ma divided by 1400ma im driving at, multiplied by 100 giving me 62% efficiency i think it does but im also VERY new at thisclu058-1825-80cri-spectrum.jpg

I would maybe have a moderator move this post to the LED section of the indoor forum. You'll have a lot better luck there.

I'm not sure what you mean by fall under the 570nm?
I run those same cobs but in 90cri @3500k and they are great.

I believe though ( from the cob calculator) the efficiency of 80cri @ 2700k is more around 48%.

Is it a good spectrum, yeah, although less common than 3000k or 3500k, you have to remember these K values we used to use were based on cfl or hps mh lighting, these white lights provide a really good mix. The closer we can get to the McCree curve the better.

im under the impression that drving at different loads changes the effeciency of the chip. and according to the calculator, driving a 2700k color chip at 1400ma will run at what you say is 48% efficiency so if you follow the red line on the chart to 48% over the 2700k selection it falls on both 540nm and 650nm
