Hi guys!
Planning to build a Led light with a friend, we are just thinking in which leds to use. Any opinions on the best options available right now? Plain performance for grow lights, no matter price. We just want to build the best possible pannel for mixed growing/flowering.
Obvioulsy some of them aren't available in the whole spectrum colors I will use (red, deep red, blue and white), that's also why i'm asking for the best options for each.
So far, red and blue:
-Cree XP-E reds: Up to 291 lm @ 3.5 W
-Cree XT-E toyal blue: Up to 456 lm @ 5 W
-Osram Oslon was kept in mind too with cheaper price but worse perfomance so it will be probably dismissed.
I will use probably some other white higher efficiency leds as well. It's a shame they don't manufacture reds, otherwise at those light efficiencies they would be awesome for sure. Anyway I will use them to get an extra light punch overall with a limited number of them.
-Cree XT-E: Up to 456 lm @ 5 W (only white and blue)
-Cree XP-G: Up to 493 lm @ 4.9 W (only white)
Probably I will get Phillips Rebels for the Deep Red, as It was the best option I've found so far.
Anyway knows any better options available?
Thx all and vibes!
P.S: I will keep the project updated with some pictures as soon as we start building the lamp. Still getting things ready!
