AquaRay mini LED400

[alexbn024]

Hello all,

For the last couple of weeks I was looking for some data on this LED system and did not have much success. I send an email to TMC and got a reply with the data I was looking for! I would like to share this information so maybe somebody will find it useful as well.

1) In terms of PAR, the MiniLED 400 generates approximately 30 µEinsteins/sec/m2. This is through air at 400mm distance.

2) They normally we see a small increase in PAR under water down to a depth of approximately 350mm, after which there is a gradual decrease.

Cheers,

Alex

Hi Tom,

I am not sure I am following the last part. Do you mean that the amount of PAR this unit can generate is not sufficient for typical growth process for most of the plants? Or if somebody wants to accelerate that process, I am guessing that is what CO2+EI+high lighting is capable of, one needs more PAR(I wander how much more). Any chance you can explain a bit more, or point me to a source where I can read up?

Thank you!

Alex
