Description
The SSK-3560BR-V2 is our 2nd generation tuneable led strip. 560mm in the standard Zhaga footprint, the new board now comes with a centre channel in the industry standard 3535 led footprint. This popular footprint opens up a greater range of led options and lifts power levels for the board
Spectral Control 3 Channels:
The boards can be configured with any range of led’s in the 2835 footprint (channels 1 and 2), so typically 2700K to 7000k in any ratio required within the constraints of 2 channels of 2835 footprint. The 3rd channel is the Cree XP foot print and can be Deep Red, Far Red or any colour within the range of available 3535 footprint. The size of the PCB and quantity of led’s also provides for SRM (Spectral ratio mix) so that we could offer the 3rd channel with 1:2 or 1:4 mix of red/deep red/royal blue, almost limitless combinations.
Why a 3 channel strip LED board is advantageous over monochromatic LED strips for grow lighting
- Spectral output: Plants require a specific spectral range of light for optimal growth and development. This includes not only red and blue wavelengths, but also green and yellow wavelengths,(consider the HPS Spectrum) which are important for overall plant health and development. Monochromatic LED strips can only provide a single colour, which may be sufficient for plant growth, but by no means optimum. In contrast, a 3 channel strip LED board can provide a wider range of colours and the full spectrum of light that plants require for optimal growth.
- Color mixing: A 3 channel strip LED board provides more options for colour mixing and customisation. With 3 channels, each Channel can be individually controlled to produce a wide range of colours, including white light, which cannot be achieved with monochromatic LED strips. This allows growers to provide the specific light that plants need for different growth stages, such as vegetative growth, flowering, and fruiting.
- Energy efficiency: With their ability to provide precise and customised lighting, 3 channel strip LED boards are more energy-efficient and cost-effective than monochromatic LED strips. By adjusting the intensity and colour of each channel, growers can use less energy to achieve the same or better results compared to monochromatic LED strips. This can result in lower energy bills and a reduced environmental impact.
- Color accuracy and consistency: 3 channel strip LED boards have better colour accuracy and consistency compared to monochromatic LED strips. Monochromatic LED strips can have slight variations in colour temperature or hue, which can be noticeable in certain applications. 3 channel strip LED boards, on the other hand, can provide precise colour control and uniformity, which is important for grow lighting applications.
A 3 channel strip LED board provides more options for colour mixing and customisation, better energy efficiency, and better colour accuracy and consistency compared to monochromatic LED strips, making it an excellent choice for grow lighting applications.
