Here's two links for anyone using a LUX meter, or interested in doing so. https://www.apogeeinstruments.com/conversion-ppfd-to-lux/ https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/blogs/calculators/converting-lux-to-ppfd And as TEKNIK said, the quantum sensors are expensive. The meter/display seems to be quit...

I just ordered 6 Nichias and 14 lm301b strips. I'm fairly sure that both setups will be overkill for testing, but my goal is to dim them down to the same light intensity and then compare them. It would be awesome to have waterproof LED T5/T8 style ligting. The bulbs you linked are quite efficent. I ...

Indeed. Having a good price may be great, but having a premium products is better. If I've understood the situation; Nichia makes the chips and Cutter makes the strips? I'm in northern Europe at the moment, if that matters. "Drive 6 in series off HLG-320H-C1050B total 316 Watts" -Cutter It looks lik...

It does sound very interesting and I am curious about the difference. Sounds like a good idea to build one lamp of each setup and compare them. Would you say the SSK-1560-5097NIC is best compared with lm301b 4000k 80 CRI? I am looking at the spectrums at Samsung's website and the 5000k one has so mu...

My hopes are to find a solution that is both efficient and hopefully somewhat cost-effective. When one shelf is up and working, I plant to expand with a lot more shelves. In other words, I plan to buy strips in bulk after I've figured this out, and to sell greens for profit. How does Nichia compare ...

Hi guys! I'm about to grow trays of arugula and microgreens in shelving units. Possibly other greens as well in the future, but I'm starting with these two crops. Microgreens don't seem to need a very high PPFD while arugula seems to like a DLI of 17. The arugula numbers are based on this article: h...
