Help needed with identifying led diodes

Hello,
I recently bought a few Electric Sky 180 V2 lamps, but I didn't find any info about the led diodes that are being used. The official website doesn't have any info.
The yellow ones seems to be the Samsung lm301b/h 3000k/3500k, but I can't identify the dark orange/red diodes.
Could someone help?
There are 6x 30w led strips on the lamp with a Meanwell 185w driver.

Just curious why it matters? Why not just focus on their output rather than their brand, which makes a fraction of difference in efficiency but not much else?

This video might say. Shane @ MIGRO often states that info

I'm just interested from a technical perspective. I have done a little DIY led lights in the past, so I'm curious what led diodes are being used and their specs.

Thanks, I have watched the video, he only said that wideband leds are being used and that about 60% of the output is 660nm red and IR.

This is really great for the flowering/fruiting stage. One might want to add more cold white leds 6000-6500k for the vegetative stage though.

I'm actually planning to use the lights for growing tomatoes and some other vegetables during winter, I got a really good deal on these lights. The build quality is excellent.
 
Oh dang, you coulda saved a TON of money and got a Bloom Plus BP1000 to grow herbs n veggies & such. You don't need insane efficiency for those types of things, even an oldschool blurple light would be fine. Cannabis is different because the flowers need VERY intense light, other foodstuffs not so much.
 
The Bloom Plus BP1000 uses the Samsung 2835 led diodes, these have a lower efficiency than the lm301h/b.
I know that the ES180 are specially made for growing cannabis, but the spectrum is actually very good for growing stuff like strawberry's, hot peppers, watermelons etc.
I got the lights from a garage sale, so the price per watt is comparable to the Bloom Plus lights.

I will save with the energy costs in the long term and the lights cover a larger area. And the build quality is excellent, I think is better than the Bloom plus ones. :)
 
There's alot of fake Samsung diodes floating around. There's a tell tale stripe on them I think it's gold if they're real on the back (look it up I can't remember exactly) Cheaper lights use cheaper diodes.
As stated above, you don't need to fall into the marketing for 'top bin' diodes. While they perform better, all grow lights grow weed. If you were concerned about quality, and not price you should have bought something that advertised using the components you're looking for, and not a garage sale deal. That's not trying to be a prick or anything I'm just stating that if that's all you have it's better than nothing yea?

The quality of Electric Sky 180 V2 is excellent, these were produced in 2020, so the tech is not really outdated, and I bought them for plants like tomatoes, hot peppers, strawberry's - so the spectrum is very good.

I'm just curious about the tech specs of the led diodes, the driver and the aluminium heatsink are very good.
