@arty zan @BigSm0 @pop22 You guys have stood out to me as the teachers of the pack amongst other of course, i appreiciate any and all help and can barely put my enthusiasm and respect into context! And @A-Train, because your online now haha :smoking:

I'm about to pull the trigger on some cobs Just wanted to double check a few things pre purchase such as;

Colour choice, 3000, 3550, 4000, so on? Only option available to me are packs of 5 set colour temp so its a mono colour build.

CLU048-1212C4-353H6K2 Wattage: max 117.5W 90cri rating. is there anything hidden in the specs that im overlooking, im not fluent in terms but from my uderstanding 90 is a better choice over 80 for flowering purposes?

 

[Ripper]

Personally I only use 3500 k..90 cri

 

[BigSm0]

Yes 3500k 90cri or 4000k 80cri. It's all a give and take since there is only so much useable light. Both options are suitable for veg and flowering.

Bjb holder 47.319.2033.50 are the best for series wiring rated 150v and has a small reflector built in.

ideal holders rated for 250v 50-2204ct
Works for series and paralell wiring.

cool thanks guys!

3500k seems to work quite well, althought the 4000k do also. actual results between an 80cri and a 90 cri is not significant. CRI has more to do with how you and I see light. get the 80cri.

Here's some data on the 1212 chip: the numbers after C4 in the part number tell the kelvin number example: 1212C4-27 27 means 2700k
