Spare 6500K LED Bars

I have a number of spare 60w 6500K LED Bars.

My question is whether there would be a benefit to adding these along side my blurple LED in my flowering tent?

I obviously realize that part of the wavelength is for Veg, but wonder if the extra light could be at all useful during the flowering stage?

Thanks in advance

Yeah bro for sure, great growers are still cranking nothing but the old school MH all the way..

Are they actually drawing 60w? How many watts of the blurples are you running?

Sweet because its definitely lacking. They are 140w x2 for veg and bloom switch, so only 280w at the moment. They claim to be the equivalent of a 600hps.

Over a 4x4? (I know we're metric and meant to say 1200x1200 but I still use feet, just seems easier).

More like 2x2, this is just a wee closet grow i've got going on the side. Could potentially scrog it out to more like 2x3

280w of real draw is heaps for a 2x2 bro, I think they say 40w/sq. ft. for led.. I know it's blurple but 70ish w/sq. ft. should be plenty already I reckon, you'd probably go well past the point of diminishing returns.. I'd just swap them with the bars to be honest lol I hate looking at blurple..

Its a chinese light bro, so its no HLG or anything.. Therefore i take its claims with a grain of salt, I haven't actually tested the draw per se. The core coverage of the light only claims to be suitable for like 1.5x1.5 foot. There may be plenty of wattage, but the coverage for the area im growing in isn't the best. Still worth adding in more ya reckon
