Caveats:
I don't want to mix spectrum - I want to use a single strip color temp across the whole light fixture. If I want to add spectrum later, I'll do it in small amounts.
I lean towards the 90cri EB3 strips because they have a bit more far red (700nm-750nm) compared to the 80cri.
Graphs:
Original EB3 90cri graph for reference.
Edited EB3 90cri graph to show output advantages of 4000k vs. 3500k vs. 2700k.
Questions:
- 4000k or 2700k? These are the two I can buy right now in 90cri. Based on my poorly edited graph above, which 90cri spectrum would you prefer for flowering and why? I'm leaning towards 4000k because it has so much more near UV, blue, green, and red. It has almost as much deep red (600nm - 650nm) and more 660nm - 750nm.
- How many of each to cover a 4x4, and on what Meanwell HLG driver? The 4000k 90cri I can get are 2ft and the 2700k 90cri are 4ft.
