However, I am going to look into this further to see if that applies to LED's (I think it was based on video games, etc.).

Thanx dude....

Dude I would heed that info, if you spend any time in a room!

Here's what appears to be a great light that is very inexpensive for what it is. I do not have any relation to them, nor do I have them. I have been using LEDs for 6+ years, bot BML (now Fluence) and Amare Technology, but if I needed any, I would definitely get these

So many people are populating Quantum Boards with the lm301b and some 660s. Putting them on similar heatsinks with a Meanwell supply. Then marketing them at such different prices. It's hard to know which way to look. I sort of like how they have used a single IR led on each QB, but perhaps that's why the power is slightly down on the competitors at around 100w per board not 120w (the boards are 135w when populated with just Samsungs). LED isn't a great source of IR though, and our understanding of what we want isn't perfect. An incandescent lamp such as a halogen puts out a very broad spectrum of IR. Doing so better than they emit visible light. It's why we no longer use them for general duty around the home. You might want to think about them for Boosting the spectrum beyond 660 though. As 90% of their output is IR https://www.edn.com/extend-the-life-...al-management/

Diffused light > Spectrum. Abundant overlapping cheap white led at moderate intensity over the entire growing area.

Too late to return the Vipars? Look into the differences spectrum makes on the physical and chemical structure of your cannabis plants. You'll find the viparspectra 900 spectrum to be rather poor for cannabis, compared to a great many others.

You may want to look at adding supplemental lighting, to reduce the leafiness, or at least look at what you'll want to purchase next. The Mars Hydro TS series of lights is more toward the spectrum I'd advise, with them also being on the inexpensive end for pricing.

First grow using LED's, so I'll use em, see what happens, then try 1/2 my setup with a different brand (after doing some reading as well) so i can form some personal opinions.
Imma check out the Mars online right now, thanx for taking the time to post this info, i appreciate it....

I use 2 Viparspectra V450 and they indeed work well for my hobby grow. When they fail I will definitely go with a board that is passively cooled.

I wanna give out some 'likes' but can't, i'm guessing that comes with full features when you've been here long enough....

I'm testing out the ONEO LED 1200 3500k leds samsung they said but I can't confirm that. it has some 660nm mixed in. It draws around 250w. And the Meizhi cree cob 60O. it has the cxa3070 cree led that's not quite as good as the cxb3590 but pretty close. It also has some smaller epistar leds of different nm's to fill out the highs and lows a little. It draws about 230watts.
So far i'm liking the ONEO a little better. It puts out more light and the plants look a little better under them but it is still early.
