Date Announced: 22 Nov 2011 Siemens discovers dark-red luminescent material for warm LED light Researchers from Siemens Corporate Technology and Osram have discovered a new “dark-red” luminescent material for LEDs. The phosphor, described as “stable” (although further...

I'm not familiar with the bulbs your using but unless you have two separate areas , one for veg , one for flower - wouldn't 3 mixed bulbs be greater the one red , one blue , one mixed? I'm just not sure of your footprint for each bulb - it looked like one plant was only drenched in red and...

There wont be an LED that works better with HPS than the next. Besides making sure you have Blue spectrums for the Veg and Red spectrums for the Flowering, the rest is going to be personal opinions/experiences. If your eventually looking to remove all the HPS gear - I would go with a full...

Good info here, thank you. Do you have anymore details behind UVB being a important component to LED ops? what about IR then too?
