Haight Solid State PPF-800 LED Grow light

[LED4ME]

Hello boys and girls!

This is my first posting on here so a big yellow to everyone:

Here's my question: I recently purchased the "Haight Solid State PPF-800 LED Grow light" for my cabinet grow which is 24" x 22" x 48". I can fit (3) 3 gallon containers in my grow cabinet.

I'm trying to figure out the two sets of high/low switches that are on the LED panel. The manufacturer spec sheet doesn't help much. The wholesaler where I bought the light is giving me conflicting information based on my observation.

There are 4 combinations for these two switches. For purpose of discussion let's label the first switch "A" and the second switch "B".

A + B = High, High
A + B = Low, Low
A + B = High, Low
A + B = Low , High

The manufacturer says to keep both switches on high, high. If growing in a tight space, growing new transplants or seedlings use low, low.

Here is where the confusion starts. What about high, low combinations?

According to the wholesaler he said I should see the same effect regardless which switch is set for high or low. I beg to differ. I do see a distinct color difference when choosing the following:

A + B = High, Low
A + B = Low , High

Can somebody shed some light on this? Pardon the pun

Thanks in advance!

this appears to be a dead thread, but i'm still in process of searching for this answer myself. If you've already obtained it, please do share

In skimming through the Haight Solid State vs. Hydro Grow LED by Setting Sun, it appears to me as if the PPF-800 was on low/low settings the entire grow. I could be wrong of course, but having a PPF-800 in a grow box tent similiar to the one in his experiment, on High/High my tent is an eye straining Reddish Pink and on Low/Low more of a Bluish White as in his experiment. I've never grown anything, of any kind, before and with the setup I put together recently, my plants are still alive and on day 10 since placing the seedlings into hydroton. They seem to be growing alright on low/low, but being a complete newb as I am, I don't know if High/High would make them grow better/faster and I cannot find the answer to this as of yet.
