1 of 2 new toys showed up today - Sneak peek

[oneshot]

The other top end LED is coming next week. BlackDog LED has it for testing right now. I had it sent to them first for PAR and spectrometer readings. This is going to be 2 high power LEDs in a head to head to grow off!

Will update thread when that comes. Although if you have been following my Youtube, you might know who already!

Thanks for doing all these tests! You really are doing a huge service to all the people out there trying to grow with leds.
I think it's the right path, lower heat, higher efficiency and all that good stuff.
I'm testing out a china panel right now. Not super impressed thus far, but if there's something worth showing I'll be sure to share.

This^ It is hard to know where to even start if you don't know much about electronics/lighting and want to go LED
