hi all, 
check this out
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
this is a custom made LED unit from Hydro Grow, it uses the same chassis as the standard 63w unit, but has the maximum number of LED's in it - one in every hole - which amounts to 120 (it draws 104w total from the wall). the lens angle is 90 degrees rather than the standard 60 and the colour ratios are from the 3rd generation units which are currently in development and testing. i cant tell you what the exact rations are because i dont know yet but i can tell you that the spectrum contains (yes you may have guessed) green!
it turns out that as i was looking into green light for my other cab, LEDgirl was also considering using green in her next generation of lights - so when i started talking to her about a custom light and asking about green she told me about their plans and asked if i wanted to try these out. i should also point out that i paid for this light.
the reason why i wanted a custom light was mainly due to the triangular shape of the space i had available to me - so a smaller unit would allow me to place it higher and get more headroom in the cab. the actual cab for this light is not yet built, but in the meantime i have swapped it with the 63w unit in my existing micro cab to see how it goes flowering out a sharksbreath that was 16 days in. this cab is only 12" by 20" so i may get some nice big buds or i may cook the plant. time will tell
hope that all makes sense.
NB - on page 7 of this thread the light s moved into a bigger cab, 2' x 16", at the start of the original haze grow.
so here is the plant in question - already at 16 days flower and so far flowered under the 63w unit. sharksbreath goes 10 weeks or more so plenty of time left.
and here it is under the light - as you can see the colou ratios make the overall colour look different. to the naked eye it looks more white than the second gen units - even though there are no white LED's in there
cheers
