Help with Chart/spreadsheet of LED efficiencies etc

Its been a long time since I looked around and I've lost my laptop in the last house move, I've started compiling another spreadsheet but help would be ace :bigjoint:

Does anyone have up to date info on the efficiencies of white and colored diodes they don't mind sharing?

Edited to add:
Even if folks are happy to chuck in part numbers &/OR names of diodes and cobs I'll work away getting info from datasheets etc.
Thanks for the help

cant really answer your post bro, but there is a video on utube that is of intrest, comparing like 30 different LED lights, including cree cobs, mars, HLG, HPS, CMH and such. This is a Migro LED sales person, but has awesome videos, and isnt baised. Migro uses Luminus LED Cobs. The video below is when he started the "efficiency ladder board", but then has recent videos including the QB96v2 boards, which are awesome by the way,lol..

Unbiased I wouldn't go that far .A couple of for instances would be 1/2" plexy on the qb288 also having really short reflective walls and having fixtures with no optics above those walls. I would really watch the testing methods again. The videos are fine but unbiased they are not imho.

unbiased as to SELLING LUMINUS, BUT still giving props to those better then Luminus. Sure, the video isnt like WOW, but it is the best out there for comparison purposes. and didnt the plexi just diffuse like 2% of the light? He did a video on that whole "plexi" and bad readings.

Thanks for the replies guys, I'm familiar with Migro, they're only a couple hours from me.

What I'm looking for is diode/cob suggestions for people going completely DIY, I know the lm301B etc are fine diodes but luminus have a few new(ish) ones and I'm sure others do too.
Even if folk throw out company names like Nichia, Samsung, Osram etc that would be a boost tbh

I'm just keen to redo my spreadsheet and see what's new in the market over the last year or two.
I'll keep going through websites and see what I can find.

For what it's worth, the Migro guy has said on IG that he considers HLG QB288s to be the best product on the DIY market. As for the plexi: I've seen his test that shows acrylic covers reducing PAR by 2%, but he does test both with and without.

Here is a link to the HLG Elite page with sphere test results with and without a khatod lens (best quality lens company we have found.) 2.19 umol/j vs 2.04 umol/j.....

pmma has a transmission of around 92.5% seen in link above. Furthermore he has the qb288 above the reflective "walls" allowing light spillage. He should test the qb324 V2 with 90° Ledil Florence 1r optics and custom clips if he wants to give QBs a fair shake against his lensed cob.
