Hello. I am thinking of getting a PS GOLIATH and am doing as much research as I can. But there doesnt seem to be alot of data out there. Has anyone Grown repeated grows with these lights without any kind of light failures. Just wondering how stable these lights are. And if they are all that they claim to be. Iv read that there is extra blue to trick the par meter or something crazy like that. Only read it in one place but the guy sounded smart. lol smarter than me anyway. I am growing in a 3.3x3.3x5.11 Mars grow tent. Will the Goliath be too much for my tent? I see it covers a 5x5. I eventually want to upgrade my tent to a 4x4. But the Goliath is ALOT of $$ so Im digging for info. I emailed their actual site but never got a reply. Im guessing dude is super busy but its not a good look. I seen its a 3 year warranty. But is it like MARS warranty where after a year I have to pay for shipping and labor? If anyone can answer any of these questions I would really appreciate it. Im excited to get a new light. But its like buying a new car. Alot of $$ and your stuck with it for a while. I want to make the right decision.
Blue and Red read the same on Par meter. The only color that really has a bias is green. So a pure green LED light wouldn't have as high of a par reading than a pure red LED light. However, believe it or not, the pure green light isn't that much lower in par.
I also do Lux testing on my lights, and the Goliath has a higher average lux rating as well. I will be doing a video for average Lux. I have done lux readings or penetration with the PS 1000.
The only difference in a LUX meter and Par meter is that the PAR meter has a slight biased against green light, whereas the Lux meter measures all photons coming in as equal, regardless of the nano-meters.
