You are pretty damn close. Impressive showcase of an led grow. Still going through growing pains with my conversion. I am not familiar with that 127 rated unit. That's not a full spectrum one correct? What size diode(s) does it run? Thanks in advance for a reply.
It's a fixture I ordered parts for and built. All top bin leds of their given color/brand
5000k CREE CXB3070 BDs, and 665-670nm CREE XP-E Photo Reds
It "is" full spectrum in the sense that its predominantly white light but I am a firm believer in red supping. (Which actually gives a higher CRI when combined put together)
After led efficiency, driver losses, fans' draw and psu efficiency it's <50% efficient. It can be dimmed from 108w-260some watts.
So for every watt of heat generated I am putting out a watt of usable photons. Comparing to the best possible ~40% of HIDs with the short life span.
I'm putting out some major photonage with this panel, like I said in the post. It was too intense for this indica dom ssdd and next run will be better acclimated (vegged with 5k cxa3070s, then flipped under 5k with low red draw up'd every couple days)
Here's a shot of the panel itself that was probably 3 weeks into 1212
Yea I just crunched the numbers, it's roughly 62% efficient. 78.7 PARwatts out of 127w from the wall at the draw it's at now. (Reds maxed [700ma], whites min[350ma])
And it's putting out some serious numbers on my quantum Flux meter with plenty of headroom to dissipate heat.
If you led, you should really look into diy. I have had cheap ufos, progrows, area 51 Apache tech at200 (still do, best pre-made out), and won't ever buy a prebuilt again even with how happy I was with the AT
I didn't know there was a difference and I got packs with each I think.
