By the way this is a very good summary. There are quite a few acticles on PHOT1 and PHot2 ond LOV1 and LOV2 the light adsorbing segments of the phototropin molecules.I did agoogle serch for "LOV1 and LOV22 spectrums" and came up with a lot of good articles on the chemistry and spectra. I'd list...

Also important to plant regulation are the blue light photoreceptors phototropins PHOT 1 and PhOT 2 which mediates phototropism, chloroplast relocation, stomatal opening,leaf-flattening responses, and enzyme processes.Phot1 mediates responses with higher sensitivity than phot2. Phot2 mediates...

Just to let you know 410nm is not considered UV, Also a warm white LED has wave lengths that cover Chlorophyll b. A warm white is a 460nm LED with red phosphors that provide 600 to 690nm wavelenth coverage I've also found that LEDs on Ebay are expensive and the wave lengths I needed were no...

I have been building my own LED lights for more than a year using different wave lengths. I have several set ups. The light I use fpr my mothers has only 430/660/warm white LEDs and the vegitative growth allows me to get a dozen clones per week per plant. For raising the plants and flowering, I...

As for 410nm, the phototropins PHOT! and PHOT2 that adsorb at 410/450/470 and my design covers the 450/470 portion and the 630 nm with the warm white with 100 watts for 7 weeks of 12hr days dried yield 95 grams of good smoking ICE

The light energy emitted by LED's at 25C running with 350 mA (1 watt) ranges from 20 to 40% of the power input. Running at 700 mA (3W) or 1000 mA (5W) these percentages drop making them less efficient. Also as the diode temperaure increases they become less efficient as well. What is is not...
