7 lm per watt difference

is that a lot?

so why wouldn't the 90CRI be better if you get more lumens per watt?

what is thermal resistance?

Careful brother @im4satori , many in this forum are not as kind and helpful as you have been with nutrient formulations and like to give you the "go do some reading", "this has been discussed 1 million times", "google it" etc. rather than just engaging the conversation as new people come into this section of the site.
Yes, we all can put on a pot of coffee and go read for hours on end but why not just recap for those just coming in and beginning to show some interest? :hump:

id be more than happy to simply receive links to the threads that already contain the answers if that be the case

sometimes trying to find the answers is like a needle in a hay stack

and sometimes without conversation one doesn't know what questions to ask

after all isn't that why where here

you get less lumens per watt but more usable spectrum from 90 cri

every gen 6 has a gen 5 counterpart (except for 1216 which is a new model). so there are 80 and 90 cri in both series.

well for the same wattage if you can yield 5-6% more every crop thats significant (not all chips showed such a dramatic difference. the ones i tested which are ones we commonly use were more like 3-5% bump which is still significant

a measure of the chips ability to move waste heat out teh back of the chip.

cooler chips = brighter chips, so its kind of everything for the most part
