I'm buying an IT2080 and IT2040 from Evergrow in China.
The IT2080 is 240w, 99 Bridgelux leds, 2.4w/led
The IT2040 is 120w, 55 Bridgelux leds, 2.1w/led
My question is what color I'm going to get with the layout I'm considering (as in 10K, 14K, 20K or something inbetween)?
I'm ordering extra leds in case it doesn't look the way I want and because I've read that the UV and violet leds develop a 'burnt' look after a couple of months. If I need to I'll have spare 440nm & 460nm leds to replace them. Are there any other issues or concerns anybody can think of That I should be considering?
Thanks.
