Good morning or good night or whatever it is.

Busy day at the Smorg yesterday and I missed 14 pages. I do hope it was all good and plenty of positivity as I am not going to catch up.

Wishing you all a Saturday that satiates your soul or puts some pep in your step or whatever saying you like that improves your day!

So if in the future I wanted to get more orphek lights on order to get a good wide spectrum would I need to get different types of their bars to get more colors on the lighting spectrum?
You can mix and match as you please with colors/spectrums but just keeping in mind what's happening to the Par so you don't burn anything.

But how do I know which ones I need? LOL
I'm probably the wrong person to ask because I like a more white natural spectrum vs the heavy blues 😅. What spectrum are you looking for more? All blues, heavey blues etc
