What Colour temp in 90 CRI are you after, how many do you want and what test data are you looking for?

Hey Mark,
I accidentally sent you a private message instead of quoting your post above but I'll try to continue the conversation here in case someone else can benefit from it in the future.
First off, thanks for popping in. I've seen you in some other threads so I'm glad this one caught your eye.
To your questions: I was looking for the 4K @ 90 CRI for the EB Gen 3s but I liked their spectrum so I can't say exactly which I'd prefer if things are a bit different. I'd really just be hoping for strips of comparable efficacy and then make a decision on color from there. As far as data, I'd be looking to see the spectrum and performance curves primarily. How many strips would depend on the particular product though. I settled on 8 bars, and I'm aiming for around 750-800 watts. If you've got strips that I could run close to 100 watts and still maintain reasonable efficacy, I'd need 64. Because the EB Gen 3s were slim and would only push about 48 watts each at 1.2A, I was going to need 128 of those so if you've got a product similar that's what you could expect.
