730nm LEDs look like diamonds

Just got a 90W UFO grow lamp, spectrum:
15pcs IR 730, 5pcs UVA 380-410nm, 35pcs 660nm, 15pcs 630nm, 10pcs 460nm, 10pcs 430nm.
The IR LEDs look very amazing, just like diamonds. It says they emitt 3-5 lumens/pcs.


I am going to hang it over my plants to see if IR and UV LEDs work or not, currently, they are growing under another majority Blue 90W UFO.

I don't want to sound like a jerk or anything but I would avoid LED grow lights using 90x1W diodes. Actually I would avoid any
light that used 1W diodes. I believe you will get the most par for the $ using lights with 3 watt diodes. At least that has been my experience. For instance, I have a 135 watt Blackstar (90 actual watts) with UV and IR that uses 45x3W Cree LEDs (or diodes). I'm not sure which term is correct, LEDs (plural) or diodes??? Anyway, I'm not sure what the exact specifications are but I know it emits much more light than a 90x1W, and it could very well be cheaper too. It seems that most places selling the type of ufo's you are using are still charging the same prices they always have and the lights with 3 watt chips seem to be steadily dropping. Or, maybe I've been smoking to much gonja and I should just shut up.....

How much did you pay for this 45x3w "Cree" UFO?

I'd love to see some data sheets specifically on the Cree UV and IR diodes.

Haven't heard about CREE UV,IR LEDs on the market.

It seems my plants are growing very well under this UFO lamp. The leaves look healthy and their roots are spreading.

7 plants have been vegging under the IR UFO 90W LED lamp about two weeks, it seems five of them are ready for 12/12.
