That is just too cool. I like it.
If I ever flower with it...yes. Always wanted to flower with a cool white and red mix, something I've never tried before.So the 3590's will still be 5k along with the 660's?
Thanks AP. That's why I go through all the trouble of building them now. I still pay a similar amount of money but in the end I end up with all the features I want. With all the parts readily available you can build damn near anythingI'm impressed. It looks like something you'd buy online for a ton of money!
It's got a place in my top three favorite DIY LED light fixtures.
Keep up the amazing Job !
(it reminds me the "Jet" somewhat !!! .. )
Too much blue ,Pos ...
Even for a veg light ...
For my taste at least ..
You 'll get to see the results .
(not that it won't work ....But ...)
Cheers.
If it works half as good, as it looks, it will be amazingAlright...got it running.

There could be some gotchas here. WIth humans, if you mix green light with red light, the human brain will perceive yellow light. Since plants have a very similar form of color vision using phytochromes, it's likely there are combinations of wavelengths that are perceived identical as a different single wavelength.
For example, 730nm + 660nm may be perceived by the top layer of a plant as 600nm if the %Pfr converges at the same place. Of course that's an oversimplification, as plant vision is "3d", and the bottom layers see different colors than the top. In the case of the 600nm single wavelength source, all layers of canopy would converge at similar %Pfr, but the dual combination of 730nm + 660nm would appear different at different levels of canopy, based on how much 660nm was already filtered out.
Thanks to you for being a pioneer in the quest for DIY Spectral Knowledge! I was theorizing about the same type of spectrum but you will likely beat me to having one built. How many reds do you plan to use with the COBs?Apache tech always struck me as an example of photons are photons.
Look at how bright white the spectrum is compared to most other lights.
The only thing to be concerned about it seems it's the morphological effects that some nms bring
Hard to beat the simplicity of a warn white cob though...
One more year of spectrum manipulation should be enough to sort this out well enough
Your welcome don. Just got sick of the mess of spectrums and secret sauces out there..Thanks to you for being a pioneer in the quest for DIY Spectral Knowledge!

I only mentioned it because lots of folks are watching and get confused easily with w's a's and l/w etc.
lol...back when I first started posting and was learning things I made a lot of those type mistakes. I got blasted for it pretty quickly..haha. I have a thick skin and a bit of determination thoughUsage of the correct units is my first filter for bullshit math.
Like if someone is trying to measure efficiency and there are units, I know their calculation doesn't find efficiency. Efficiency is unitless since the units cancel out. (power out / power in) It should also be a number less than 1...

The warm white's warmness mostly comes from the large amount of yellows, ambers, and oranges. No amount of 660nm red will replace amber or yellow or orange..
My guess is that cool white + red will not do as well flowering as warm white, and that the 660nm will be more of a benefit to veg than flower. Of course, since I haven't tried all the combinations, It's only a guess based off how i think plants work. Also of course, had I thought 660nm + cool white was the best combination, I would have tried that first myself, so my guess is implied that I didn't think it was the best combo.

hmmm... maybe I should replace my 700mA drivers with 500mA drivers for my vero 18 and replace the lost power with xp-e photo reds if GG gets good results with his new build.
I'll admit that I'm a copier. I look for good results and copy.
