That 120 degree angle is why they usually don’t have diodes in the center? And I haven’t thought about how close you can bring the lights to the canopy
That 120 degree angle is why they usually don’t have diodes in the center? And I haven’t thought about how close you can bring the lights to the canopyYea, I think the 5000 and 7000 is better if your sitting in an appropriate footprint. That said, the 3000's will allow you to get farther down on them. Personally, I think that's the best approach, because of the laws of photon, and distance.
LED's are going to be most efficient (stronger) at the nearest focusable point, all things said. The technology aside, simply bring them up close to the light makes a huge difference, but the spacing/spectrum needs to be precise.
Most (almost all) of the shit in use today is using 120 degree angles of attack.
In the first gen lights, the diodes were all spaced evenly. But the light charts had all the light in the middle and very little on the outside. So they moved the diodes around and mounted them at angles designed to even out the light in the tent. It spreads it out more for even distribution over the plants. You're looking for the ppfd chart for each light.That 120 degree angle is why they usually don’t have diodes in the center? And I haven’t thought about how close you can bring the lights to the canopyis there any numbers or specs I can use to further determine the best numbers ?
Yup. A 4x4 with 4 SF1000D's will have more light at less pressure.When I was a HPS guy, I always thought that the DE 1200 watts were the way to go, but it was eventually pointed out to me that I was thinking about things in a wrong way. Actually the best HPS config is 400's, spread out, and button down....
Same holds true for any configs, basically as long as the intensity can hold up. Say if your using quantum LED, you want to go with say the SF1000D, (their most inexpensive $79 light) because you can button them down, and you can spread them out as far as you like.... make sense now?
An array, always is going to work better... no matter how you slice it.
Then its going to fall to the tech, and the ratio's.
I hear you so basically actual fixture coverage is just as important as light coverageWhen I was a HPS guy, I always thought that the DE 1200 watts were the way to go, but it was eventually pointed out to me that I was thinking about things in a wrong way.

Almost. The diodes are aimed for you, so you only need to get so close to the sidewalls of the tent with the light.I hear you so basically actual fixture coverage is just as important as light coverage
So just so I’m no track .. with a 4x8 6 SF1000s would have more overall light than 4 sf 4000s in the same tentYup. A 4x4 with 4 SF1000D's will have more light at less pressure.
Oooh shit ok I think I get it nowAlmost. The diodes are aimed for you, so you only need to get so close to the sidewalls of the tent with the light.
Just as a side note have you ever thought about the benefits of mounting a lower power light in the side.. for example a SE5000 above with 2 SF1000s on the sides.. asking for a friend for because I can’t stop spending money.. I mean he can’tAlmost. The diodes are aimed for you, so you only need to get so close to the sidewalls of the tent with the light.
Yes. That has been discussed. Dr. Bruce did say that it will help, but there are no studies on how much it helps.Just as a side note have you ever thought about the benefits of mounting a lower power light in the side.. for example a SE5000 above with 2 SF1000s on the sides.. asking for a friend for because I can’t stop spending money..

I’m more going with the package , if anything I’ll go with the s8 now hearing that the 6 might not get the job done .. As for what I’m hearing air exchange is BIG if you want to grow some gas ( Medical grade cannabis)I would suggest the slightly cheaper S-Line AC Infinity Fan instead of the T line and buy the AC Infinity Controller 67 as well.
T and S is the same fan but the T has a little more advanced controller but the Controller 67 is way more sophisticated.
I SO hope you grow way better than Medical grade man. That stuff is ... sub-standard.I’m more going with the package , if anything I’ll go with the s8 now hearing that the 6 might not get the job done ..

I’ve made the conscious choice to basically be a guinea pig for these type of thingsYes. That has been discussed. Dr. Bruce did say that it will help, but there are no studies on how much it helps.
It looks like, at this time, it's not worth it. Maybe after a couple more generations of lights...
exactly, because you can adjust them far better, yes. Same exact power, same diodes, better config. Yes.So just so I’m no track .. with a 4x8 6 SF1000s would have more overall light than 4 sf 4000s in the same tent
Yea I usually go with the Asians around here.. good price, good bud.I SO hope you grow way better than Medical grade man. That stuff is ... sub-standard.
