Does make you wonder if it's just a gimmick and that instead of them just more high output whites would give you more bang for your watt..

yeah i wonder how much of a difference it makes for a plant to have those additional reds...

i will try it out as a work light in my workshop for a couple of days when it arrives. to check if it goes up in flames and such. and maybe get a decent meanwell driver instead for the money i saved so far.

Guess they won't hurt either.

You're planning to replace the driver, why's that?

i was thinking the driver is pretty important. and that for 15 euros total it must be a pretty shitty one.
since the grow area i'm fantasizing about is around one square foot i would have to dim that thing down to not more than 40 watts anyways. maybe that will reduce the heat on board and driver. i have no idea. or does the driver get hotter if you dim it down?

 

[shiva82]

the more full the spectrum the better . keep it on full blast and just raise or lower it

15e total for the lamp? That is cheap.

Good question on the heat, without thinking about it I have imagined that dimming down would reduce the heat but now that you mention it maybe the driver is working overtime modulating those pulse waves, and actually gets hotter.

[zaprjaques]

a fitting dimmable meanwell driver is in the price range of 25-40 euros depending where you get it. we'll see.
