Ok, I just talked with Dan from Tember, this is definitely the way to go. He answered all my questions, this is going to be awesome. Thank you very much for all of your suggestions. -JCL

Yeah, I will bet even the Black Dogs are made in China, or maybe just assembled in USA. Sorta what I am saying that it depends on the situation. I am looking for UVA not UVB, so I don't think the reptile bulb is what I want to do, but maybe adding a black light or something would do a similar...

Do you have some links you can share? I was looking here: https://growgreenled.wordpress.com/ and I see some mention of this. I would like to see some pictures or something. Looking around, it looks like there are some good options from some of the Chinese suppliers...

OK, so I did a bunch of research based on some of the suggestions you guys made, and here is what I came up with. First, I found these articles very insightful: WHICH IS BETTER: UVA OR UVB? https://www.blackdogled.com/blog/which-is-better-uva-or-uvb/ HOW TO COMPARE DIFFERENT GROW LIGHTS...

Seems they are in a league like Black Dog, about as expensive too.

That XML 350 looks really nice. Not COB, but using those jumbo 10w LEDs You are way past my level on this stuff, which means I am probably in the right place ;-)

Yeah, this is why I am thinking you can't use the color temperature by itself.

Yes, seems many feel this way. The Kessil I know has both IR and UV, but only some of the Chinese lights seem to have it, some of them just have IR and claim UV is not needed. Took a look at these, wow, these are amazing. This one here looks like a real winner...

OK, this is interesting. So 1750k for the reds and 4000k for the blues? Is it not possible to have a single COB type that does what I need? I thought that was the whole "full spectrum" argument. Do you mix these together like that when using them for Cannabis? I am also curious about the...

My thinking is that the same range that is needed for Cannabis in the "grow" stage is good. -JCL

Yeah, I have started reading up on COBs, apparently they can be as much as 50% more efficient than some of the other LEDs. The specific spectrum needed for my use case is something that is very hotly debated. I am not going to try and re-invent the wheel here. Many people are having amazing...

Yes, growing sea weed. (hey, it's still weed right?) There are aquarium lights of course, but most are for illuminating fish or a different spectrum for corals, or much lower intensities for planted aquariums. This is specifically for growing sea weed very rapidly, requiring a high output...

Hello all, I have been reading over your forum for a couple days here, and it really looks like you guys are on to something and have some great expertise, so I am hoping you can help me out. Even though what I am asking is not for growing cannabis, they just legalized it here in...
