So I’d really love to get a combo LED unit that has Blue, Red & UV spectrums.
Id also love for these channels to be individually controlled so I can run just the blues during veg and the red & UV during flower.
What LED lights are out there that do this?
I found the Kind LEDs X2 unit:
www.kindledgrowlights.com
I think this light looks great overall and the levels of customization on the color spectrums are amazing.
I just wish it had more white LEDs to their strips.
Im currently using a Photontek 1000w CO2 Pro and really loving it. I’m only running it at 25% right now, but it has an absolute TON of white LEDs on their bars, at least double that of the Kind X2.

But it’s only red spectrum.
Because I’m doing DWC, I plan on vegging and flowering in the same space. So having a multi-spectrum light I can run Blues during Veg and Reds during Flower sounds like the perfect solution for me. Especially since the Kind X2 has UV built in as well.
If only they had double the white LEDs on their bars, there wouldn’t be any hesitation.
But I know Kind lights weren’t the greatest prior to these new bar style they now sell.
There also doesn’t seem to be any real reviews or this X2 model, but they claim 1600umol, which isn’t bad really.
I was also considering HLG Scorpion Diablos. These are amazing lights too, but again, only red spectrum:

My friends and I have used HLG Scorpion Diablos as well as the 1000w Photontek CO2 Pros, so I’m speaking from experience. These are all top tier lights!
HLG Scorpion Diablos are 1900umol and the Photontek 1000 CO2 Pro are 2900umol, which is totally insane. So while the Kind LEDs don’t offer the highest umol, their umol output is still pretty dang good & they certainly offer the best spectrums, with individual controls.
So are there any other options out there like the Kind X2, or am I overreacting about not having enough white LEDs on their strips? Because I think I really love them!
