Timber LED Interview Live Stoners 29th Sept 2107

[Seabass]

Great questions....the majority of growers run the lights at 24-36" during veg and anywhere from 25-100% output. For flowering, most growers lower the lights to 12-24" above canopy @ 100% output.

To your point, some growers prefer to use the dimmer, others run 100% and just use height above canopy to control the intensity...others use a combo of both.

I have heard good results reported with all methods listed.

Awesome, thanks for the info. I may just be sold.

Arty for the win, I didn't even have a chance,

 

[Dr Fluff]

damn your quick when you want to be!

LMAO.... when I want to be...? Am I usually slow?:smoking:

@RainDan for the non cob geeks among is can you explain the difference between ppf and ppfd and what numbers we should be looking for when buying a light

 

[Dr Fluff]

Ladies and Gents...
We have a winner...
Congrats arty..

Thanks Duggy!

>>> thanks @RainDan --that clarifies some things... but my confusion is still with how to correlate the color temp' with CRI... if it's the different wavelength balances output that determine the color K, is this not also part or CRI, how the wavelength balance closely simulates true Sunlight? 80 and 90 CRI have slightly different wavelength balance (?), so if there's a difference between them, how does it now affect color K? That's what stumping me!

No problem - this is a very complicated question, so here goes....the color temp is the result of the spectral distribution of the COB output as also influenced by the phosphor coating applied to the surface...

CRI is a function of the reproducability of true sunlight...specifically between the 80 and 90 CRI there is an R9 value that is higher in higher CRIs, which is a characterization of the "trueness" of the red emitted (as evidenced by the visual spectrum.

---- RT-Z!! --you slay me man, nice pun! ... keep that grizzled shalaylee under the desk at least please!

Grizzled shalaylee sounds like an @mephisto strain

Isn't aluminium anodized with electricity? Will electrical wavelengths nearby affect this?

Hi @Vapo69

I have not heard customers comment on this nor have we experienced anything here with respects to affect on electrical items. This usually occurs with a magnetic ballast type light.
