Anyone ever use one of these? If so, how would you rate them?

Yup, that's what I'm working with.they are great for 3w leds, but not for cob's
I got a similar one from rapidled with my diy cree kit.Anyone ever use one of these? If so, how would you rate them?

That's a great question and I did a lot of research into what wavelengths benefit plants. Now, I'm not a scientist or engineer, hell, I'm not even that smart but from what I could find there's slightly more activity in the Blue range vs the red although it seems reds are most efficient at promoting growth and chlorophyll absorption. This will just be a supplemental light for flowering. Experimenting really:).Nice.
What is the logic behind your wavelength choices.
I ask because it's red light that does the "heavy lifting" and that array looks very "heavy" in blue.
I guess I'm just stuck in my ways as far as the hps goes. They've never failed me but I haven't used strictly led or strictly cmh or DE bulbs, etc. so I don't have anything to compare. I guess this will be sort of a small introduction.Mahalo!
That makes sense. Had not occurred to me to mix them.
I used the LEDs instead of the HPS And got great results for half the power cost.
With what we pay for power here I used LEDs to replace. not augment, the HPS
I flower outdoors now, because it's free, and legal.
But will follow this experiment to see what I can learn from it.
