Are all models water resistant?

i think just the new one.

That's just because I don't know how to shut up haha.
I do have a question for @PlatinumLEDTom too. Which type of LEDs are you using for the lights? I'm a complete noob, and will be starting my first grow when my seeds arrive. I've seen a lot of talk about which LEDs are best, So I've got to ask.

We use all narrow band LEDs (with the exception of our XML-Series). While white and COB LEDs can provide good response and growing power in very young/immature plants, the most efficient, powerful way to fully grow plants is to tailor the spectral output of an LED grow light to the Absorption spectrum by use of narrow banded LEDs in a perfected balance. White LEDs by nature can be inefficient and wasteful when used as the primary source of light in an LED grow light. This inefficiency goes against the very core principle of the concept of LED grow lights which is producing 100% usable light by way of a perfected spectral output as it pertains to the rate of spectral absorption by green chlorophyll. Not only has scientific research shown this, but actual results of growers worldwide have proven this time and again. Not only this, but due to the very nature of how “white” LEDs are actually a phosphor coated blue LED, they will never reach the same intensity level as a quality narrow banded LED. When you filter light, you lessen it’s intensity. Since intensity spectral output are what actually grow plants, these are not only the most important factors in an LED grow light’s power, they’re the only factors with regards to growing power.

Our XML series is a combination of white XML leds and our 12-bands of 3w narrow band LEDs.

Last question from me.
what are your recommends heights for Veg, flower?

@PlatinumLEDTom

No. The P-Series, and XML-series work fine in humid environments, but are not water resistant.

The G720 and R1150 are IP65 water resistant.

Now comes my "scary" question... What's the price tag on each model?

@PlatinumLEDTom

Thanks for taking the time with us, sorry for the speed round questions....Only had a 1/2 for lunch...lol

Thanks again!

hey bear i been looking for you gro bro
Got some good news for you

Lay it on me sunshine I need some good stuff .

@PlatinumLEDTom

Love the name @Padawan1972 and great questions. Veg we recommend around 24" from the plant canopy with the VEG light on. Mid to late VEG you can turn on the BLOOM and slowly start moving it down to 18" from the plant canopy as you transition to a 12/12 hr flower. Keep in mind all strains are different, especially Autos...stay in-tuned to your plants, if you see stretching move the light down and if any signs of light stress move it back up.

Happy holidays and thanks for stopping by!

All good...it's been a pleasure @Padawan1972!
