Are you using it for a VEG light? Or a small area?

I would probably go the Rspec out of those 3 choices, the atrium would be a good one also. The puck would have poor spread

Or_Grow did a really good grow journal comparing QB96s from HLG and quantum boards, he kept par as close as possible, the winner ended up being the quantum boards and I put that down to spread.
Larger surface areas and more leds spread out really do seem to make a significant impact

Here it is, what is interesting is how it looked like the QB96s were going to win all the way until the end, to me it seemed like the extra spread made the difference as everything else was pretty much the same all the way through

@TEKNIK
Do you have any links to lights that you or your company makes and sells?

Not at the right now mate, give me a couple more months to conduct some more tests, I am going to have some pretty unique products, mainly in the mid price range.
I really want to compeate with bridgelux gen3 in a low price range too.
Cutter sell a few of the custom LED chips I make such as PC red at the moment.
