I have been starting seedlings using a mix of "Warm" and "Cool" LED lights.
The LED's are brand new. I noticed that the old LED screw-ins were a lot less bright than the new ones. So I swapped in all new ones.
The new ones are 2700 K and 5000 K.
I know the quality LED's like the Majestic use arrays of a whole bunch of LED's, optimized for PAR etc.
How close does light from GE - or Walmart - screw in LED's, compare to lights like the Majestic - if the Lumens are the same ?
I can get other color temperatures. The bulbs I'm using are about 9 watts, 800 lumens, and those 2 color temperatures.
Since I have to buy one clamp light thing for each screw in bulb, and those cost about $7 each ... well I could see having a small array of 3x4, but it would get ridiculous doing that for 125 bulbs.
Basically just wondering if, if you choose the color temperatures wisely, if a person can come close in Light Quality to the Majestic's and other significant LED lights I hear people talking about.
