I was accepted into a test program they are running, Has anyone used them or have any feedback at all before I go all in. Thanks

@DGP Why would any grower care about CRI? Higher CRI= higher price and for what benefit to your plant?
The color spectrum looks fine to me(A little too blue but seems like you can tweak it with a controller). Using the term Blurple to describe quality misses the nail. I am not a fan of using much blue with cannabis but if I was trying for terpenes and colors, I would.
Light looks decent to me and I think you will be happy with the results. I personally think it is overpriced but it is a commercial series, so it is probably rated for moisture and has undergone testing.
Commercial lighting has to be up to a certain UL standard and doing so is expensive. I don't however see anything on their website in this regards so maybe they are not there yet.
I don't think a grow light needs to resemble a dipole antennae or a solar array from the ISS. Low powered diodes require it though and demand you spread it out.
To me CRI is important since the best quality and yields come from a true full spectrum light source (sun grown) and the higher CRI value lights are more representative of natural light.
More light sources spread across an area will give more diversity of angle helping to penetrate the canopy. One central light source is not going to have all the angles of light entering the canopy and from a physics/optics standpoint cannot illuminate the area evenly.

Have read were using "Blue" about 3 days before harvest increases terpene production@DGP Why would any grower care about CRI? Higher CRI= higher price and for what benefit to your plant?

many LED have the UV & IR (?) included in their light system
Various angles can be achieved using different optic domes. I use 80 degree and 120 degree, but 150 is an option as well.
Personally Im not sure why anyone would care about anything but the canopy coverage.
If they want to get the undergrowth, shoot for more blue light in your color as red light wont travel well through leaves the same as blue (I still think it would be a fools errand though as it will ultimately be less potent than the canopy.)
