Lighting What to do with my blurples???

[Saro01]

Hello everyone, so like many of you, I have quite a few blurple led lights laying around now. As I jumped on the QB train. I never liked the blurple lights, needed glasses or white light to see anything wrong with your plants, that damn pink glow, loud fans etc. So anyway, I have a 1500w DC series bestva, two Gen 2 Roleadro 600w, some Yintatech (super knock off brand) supposedly 900w yet only pulls 100 at the wall. Haha, I mean I know all about inflated wattage etc, but that is by far the worst exaggerated claim I own anyways. Probably another one or two I'm not remembering. My question is, what can I do with them now that I don't use them? I am very tech minded and I fix things for a living, so I know I'm more than capable of taking them apart, using the driver maybe to power a QB or something. That's about all I can think of doing with them. I absolutely hate the thought of throwing them away, almost as much as my girl who can only remember how much I paid for them when I got them hahaha. Any suggestions or ideas would be awesome. I really appreciate it guys and girls. This community has always been nice to deal with, so I thank you all for being normal humans, while I have this opportunity. Thanks again for any help, be safe out there, take care of yourself and the other guy and good luck to you all.

I use my spare blurple LED to give light lower down in the canopy, I set it on the floor of the tent pointing upwards through the canopy.

Yeah that's more than likely where I'm heading. Just wanted to maybe weed out the bad ideas or whatever. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction though.

Yeah I thought about that, but probably not in my setup. Thanks for the tip though.

That was my original plan, but the old lady can't stop reminding me what they cost. I'm trying to remind her what they're worth. Hahaha. Yeah, whatll happen is ill hang on to them until I'm so sick of moving them around in the shed that they make a dump run. This of course will be years in the future. Haha.

Like St. Tom said, Ebay might work to get rid of them while keeping the lady happy. You can search to see what similar units have actually sold for.
