Kingbrite, and another company I have found will build boards to specs with the chips I want. So its most likely 3000 and 3500k boards with cree 650nm and 730nm alternating. Thats why I bought all these different lights. With all the misinformation out here, and everyone doing things the best way that they believe that they should be done, I just want to take as much data as I can, and run with it. Im having fun with the whole process, and really havent spent THAT much money. You will see. I will eventually start pulling out my T5 and MH stuff from my coral tanks. I borrowed a quantum sensor from the local reef club I belong to so I will start putting out some vids with par readings and stuff. You are not the first person to have an issue with mars either. Someone else who has been very helpful does not particularly care for them either. Companies can change, and improve, and so can people, so Im all for giving them a shot, its the only way I am really going to learn for myself. There is a reason they are around. Thats all I know.

Grew coral, soft and hard for a decade or more.... mars reached out cause they want your money, if you look at their history then you would understand my negativity towards the company. I’m glad you got some Boards, I’m sure you will have great luck with them. If you want cheap veg leds I recommend these as they are a great deal and work fantastic for me.

It’s quite sad actually to see people pay for a wee sticker nd a shite light,
For the same price maybe cheaper you can get more reliable units, brands that actually care about the personal needs rather than your money

It seems I missed a lot.
Hi @jagslax220 , don't care too much, @Mr.jiujitsu usually doesn't care about your needs and the previous posts much, care more whether you buy mars hydro lights. He is used to saying bad to Mars Hydro, even though he never used Mars Hydro lights. Before starting big growing, do the research, try the light and test, that's great. Our commercial growing clients usually test serval brand lights, all is worth. Others' opinion is just a reference, You will find the decent lights by yourself finally. Happy growing. Peace, love, and hemp
