Humidity and burning sulfur also does a nice number on them, we seen more boards grow dodgy in our veg space. Sealed boards should be better as long as the temps are similar.
Thermal cycling also seems to affect the actual pcb - my mate did a bare board light on very low watts and had a few boards fail completely; not burnt diodes but just board stopped working.
Yeah right I had no idea humidity would have a negative effect on the diodes. I try to get my humidity as high as possible in veg and am often in the high 70s with lights on and into the 90s with lights off. Water dripping down the walls stuff.
I'm now even more impressed with the longevity of these lights!! 👍

I had a blackdog led 420w last 8 years and a viparspectra 420w true watts last 7 years both had drivers fail and lost half the lightning . So between the 2 i would say the viparspectra was a better bang for your buck as they were comparable in growth and cost 100s less. I am running ac infinity now and most there products so I would say I'm pretty happy with them at the moment

Description​

The Omega Infinity is designed with the grower in mind. Its versatility makes it a great entry-level option without compromising on quality. The precise PPFD distribution gives your plants enough light to be in the best condition, and the full-spectrum light allows you to grow multiple species of plants together in one space. Experience healthy growth and strong and huge yields of flowers and fruits with the Omega Infinity, all at a lower running cost than its competitors.
The light is easily installed across any setup. The two ballast supports are mounted, and use them to secure the driver in place. Adjust to ensure the LED is at the required height for your growth; once you’ve secured the LED where your plants will benefit most, plug the power cable into the driver and turn it on at the mains. At this point, you can attach a timer or control panel if that’s part of your growth plan.
Use the Infinity in indoor grow rooms, grow tents and hydroponic systems. For the absolute best results, Omega recommends using the light in a space of 1.4m2.

Common PAR Levels for Cannabis​

Last Update: Oct 12, 2023
Identifying the ideal PAR levels is quite complex and dependent on a lot of influencing factors. This article provides and overview, recommendations, and signs to detect if your cannabis plant has too much or too little light.


In order to grow healthy plants and yield a bountiful harvest, it is crucial to provide your cannabis plants with the proper intensity of light. But just using any light won't do the trick. What you need is the right intensity of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) at the leaves of your plant to really let them thrive.

Contents​

The Daily Light Integral​

When it comes to plant lighting, the daily light integral (DLI) is the most important measure and the one metric you want to optimize. Providing too low of a DLI will result in slow plant growth and a low yield whereas providing too high of a DLI will result in wasted electricity and might even burn the plants. That's why we're talking about DLI first in an article about PAR levels and we further assume that you know about DLI in the first place. If you want to learn more, we recommend our full article on DLI for cannabis.

General Recommendations​

Identifying the ideal PAR levels is quite complex and dependent on a lot of influencing factors, most notable the plant's genetics, current growth phase, and climate. To simplify things and provide you a recommendation already, we'll dive deeper into those details later on and reveal our recommendation first:
Growth PhasePAR Level (PPFD)
Seedling / Clone100 – 300
Vegetative250 – 600
Bloom / Flowering500 – 1050

Mind that PAR levels are measured as photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) generally in the unit of µmol/m²/s. If you want to learn more about different units of light measurement, we recommend our article on exactly that.

Influencing Factors​

A plant's photosynthesis and metabolism is quite complex and depends on a lot of factors above and beneath the soil. The following describes the most influental on the light levels.

CO2​

Photosynthesis mainly requires photons (light), water, and CO2. Therefore, CO2 is an important and influential factor when considering optimal PAR levels. As for really maxing out the rate of photosynthesis, all plants do have a point where more light just does not equal more growth, but moreoften than not, inadequate CO2 supplementation is the primary limiting factor.

cannabis-co2-ppfd-2.png
Influence of CO2 concentration on the rate of photosynthesis
CO2 is measured in parts per million (ppm). General indoor CO2 levels of about 400 to 600 ppm quickly restrict photosynthetic activity to less than half of what would be possible. Supplementing higher CO2 to reach at least 800 ppm greatly boosts photosynthetic activity and allows for higher PAR levels and thus a higher PPFD. If you really want to max out your cannabis plant’s growth, we recommend the following CO2 levels:
Growth PhaseCO2 Level (ppm)
Seedling / Clone400
Vegetative400 – 800
Bloom / Flowering800 – 1400
To dig deeper into the topic of adding CO2 to your cannabis grow, we recommend our article on increasing cannabis yields with CO2 covering it in much detail.

Temperature & Humidity​

In general, the growth of a cannabis plant increases with temperature until an optimal temperature is reached. Above the optimal temperature, plant growth decreases or even halts. The tricky thing is, that the optimal temperature again depends on the CO2 concentration in the growth environment. We recommend the following temperature levels:
Growth PhaseDayNight
Seedling / Clone72 – 80 °F70 – 78 °F
Vegetative74 – 84 °F68 – 76 °F
Bloom / Flowering68 – 84 °F68 – 78 °F
Another factor is humidity whose optimal rate in turn is dependant on the temperature. The following table provides a detailed recommendation from a study on tomatoes that is also applicable to cannabis:
Screen-Shot-2021-03-29-at-14.47.56.png
The effect of temperature and humidity levels. Image taken from Fluence.
As for the factor of climate, as long as you keep your plants within those recommended temperature and humidity values, you can increase your PAR levels to the upper end of our recommended PPFD values.

Genetics​

Cannabis naturally grows in pretty diverse climates stemming from tropical regions to highly mountaineuous areas – each with different light levels. As a highly cultivated and breed plant, there is a lot of genetic variety that is hard to cover in this article. However, most seed manufacturers provide some information about the specific strain's light need that should allow you to get a sense of putting your strain rather on the low- or the high end of our recommendation.

Signs For Too Much Light​

Light Burn​

Light burn is the most common sign of too high PAR levels on a cannabis plant. It is also commonly referred to as leaf burn and causes yellow leaves with green veins and stems.
Light burn might easily be mistaken with a Nitrogen deficiency, which also turns the leaves yellow. A simple indicator is how strong the yellow leaves are attached to the stem: While Nitrogen-deficient leaves fall off on their own, light-burned leaves are hard to pluck off. Furthermore, light burn is mainly affecting the leaves on the top of the plant while a Nitrogen deficiency starts at the bottom of the plant.

Loose And Airy Buds​

An excess of light also causes the plant's metabolism to work harder which often causes nutrient deficiencies and generally weak, loose, and airy buds that might even feel crisp.

Light-bleached "White" Buds​

Bud bleaching can happen when the buds itself get too much light and causes them to loose their color pigments and turn white. This must not be mistaken by a very resinous, trichome covered bud. Bleached buds are often less potent and might even lose allmost all of the cannabinoids.

Signs For Too Little Light​

Slow Growth​

The most obvious factor is slower than expected growth. As light is one of the key ingredients for plants to photosynthesize, with too little light, they just can't grow as desired. To identify slow growth, it might be helpful to compare the height of your plants to the regular height of the same strain at the same age.

Stretching​

When in a lack of light, most plants respond to this by spurring stem growth to move themselves closer to the light. This can be detected visually by higher internode spacing and an overall taller look of the plant.

Measuring Light​

If you're like us — you want to optimize the PAR levels for your cannabis plants for the best results in both plant growth and electricity consumption.
💡
However, we can't see the PPFD that's striking a cannabis plant's leaf. Instead, you'll need the help of a specialized PAR light meter that provides an accurate PPFD reading.
However, as you already know, they are expensive. But there is an easier, cost-effective, and readily available solution: Our PAR meter app. Our app allows you to accurately measure PAR in PPFD without any external sensor by utilizing the smartphone's camera. We use lab-grade equipment for our development and testing. We can confidently state that our app is achieving best-in-class accuracy at your fingertips.

SMD stands for Surface Mount Device and Light Emitting Diode.
SMD LEDs are a type of LED light that uses surface mount technology to place small LEDs onto a metal-core circuit board. The board is then connected with conductive tracks and soldered in place.

SMD LEDs are characterized by their flat shape, with the lower part welded directly to the electronic board and the electrical connections on the side. They are used in a variety of applications, including general lighting, decorative lighting, professional lighting, and applications that require indirect light.

SMD LEDs have many advantages, including:

Efficiency: SMD LEDs produce more light with a lower wattage.
Beam spread: SMD LEDs produce a wider beam of light that is spread over a greater area.
Space saving: SMDs use LED chips instead of diodes with long leads, which allows them to be clustered together and save space.


MAYBE PUTTING THESE IN PERSPECTIVE WILL HELP?
🤷‍♂️ WILL CAN LIST THE DIODES DO THE MATH ON INPUT OUTPUT
THERE ARE LIKELY TO BE SCHEDULED UPDATES ON WEBSITE RELATED TO INDUSRTY IMPROVEMENT CONSORTIUM'S, THAT SOULD ALL BE AGGREGATED HERE ?
WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO IMPROVE LISTING OF MAJOR DIODE PRODUCERS

FEATURES
• Industry‑compatible size : 2.8 x 3.5 x 0.7 mm
• 3-V configuration
• RoHS and REACH compliant
• UL® recognized component (E495478)

RoHS and REACH are regulations that help ensure the safety of products and the environment by restricting the use of hazardous substances:

  • RoHS
    Stands for Restriction of Hazardous Substances, and it limits the use of certain substances in electrical and electronic equipment. This includes substances like lead, mercury, cadmium, and polybrominated diphenyl ethers. RoHS requires that every material in a product be below a certain threshold, and that it can't be destroyed or divided using abrasive processes.

  • REACH
    Stands for Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals, and it applies to all chemicals used in products, including those used to make them. This includes materials, solvents, paints, and more. REACH requires that chemicals are properly evaluated for potential risks to human health and the environment, and that products are safe for both. This includes ensuring that substances of very high concern (SVHCs) are not present above a certain threshold.
Companies that don't comply with RoHS or REACH may have their products recalled from the market, which can cost millions of dollars. If a product is suspected of being non-compliant, companies can take steps like:

  • Notifying the Market Surveillance Authority (MSAs)

  • Notifying the supply chain

  • Quarantining the product

  • Fixing the non-conformity

  • Suspending it from being made available to the supply chain and end users

  • Recalling it from end users

NEC

Horticultural Lighting Horticultural lighting is a rapidly expanding technology. Indoor plant production facilities require special considerations. UL8800 was published in 2017 and contains construction & performance for safety. NEC requirements are needed to ensure safe installations and facilitate inspections. New Article 410, Part XVI, Special Provisions for Horticultural Lighting Equipment proposed.


2020 Code Language:
The full text of the new section is as follows:

Part XVI. Special provisions for Horticultural lighting equipment 

410.170 General.

Luminaires complying with parts I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, IX, X, XI, and XII of this article shall be permitted to be used for horticultural lighting. Part XVI shall additionally apply to lighting equipment specifically identified for horticultural use.

Informational note: Lighting equipment identified for horticultural use is designed to provide a spectral characteristic needed for the growth of plants and can also provide supplemental general illumination within the growing environment.

410.172 Listing.

Lighting equipment identified for horticultural use shall be listed.

410.174 Installation and use.

Lighting equipment identified for horticultural use shall be installed and used in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation instructions and installation markings on the equipment as required by that listing.

410.176 Locations Not Permitted.

(A) General lighting.

Lighting equipment identified for horticultural use shall not be installed as lighting for general illumination unless such use is indicated in the manufacturer’s instructions.

(B) Installed location.

Lighting equipment identified for horticultural use shall not be installed where it is likely to be subject to physical damage or where concealed.

410.178 Flexible Cord.

Flexible cord shall only be permitted when provided as part of listed lighting equipment identified for horticultural use for any of the following uses:

  • Connecting a horticultural lighting luminaire directly to a branch circuit outlet.
  • Interconnecting horticultural lighting luminaires.
  • Connecting a horticultural lighting luminaire to a *remote power source.
Informational note: *remote power sources include LED drivers, fluorescent ballasts, or HID ballasts.

410.180 Fittings and Connectors.

Fittings and connectors attached to flexible cords shall be provided as part of a listed horticultural lighting equipment device or system and installed in accordance with the instructions provided as part of that listing.

410.182 Grounding.

Lighting equipment identified for horticultural use shall be grounded as required in Article 250 and part V of this article.

410.184 Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter Protection.

Lighting equipment identified for horticultural use employing flexible cords with one or more conductors shall be supplied by lighting outlets protected by a listed ground-fault circuit interrupter.

410.186 Support.

Special fittings identified for support of horticultural lighting equipment shall be designed specifically for the horticultural lighting equipment on which they are installed and shall be used in accordance with the installation instructions provided and shall be securely fastened.

410.188 Hazardous (Classified) Locations.

Where installed in hazardous (classified) locations, horticultural lighting equipment shall conform to Articles 500 through 517 in addition to this article.

As more efficient lighting technologies continue to evolve and more states move towards decriminalization or legalization of hemp, CBD, and marijuana, usage of horticulture-specific lighting is likely to increase. The new Code sections cover many common topics such as listing, support, grounding, uses not permitted, and GFCI protection. The electrician and AHJ will no longer have to guess as to the application of the Code for this type of installation.


OK SO WE KNOW MANUFACTURERS ARE REGULATED
AND THIS STEERS PRODUCTION OF COMPONENTS
