So im looking to purchase a par meter but am having a little trouble deciding on exactly which unit to purchase, any guidance on the subject would be greatly appreciated.
Im trying to decide between the epar, full spectrum and the original. Looking for the most well rounded meter for use on hps, cmh, and led lights.
It’s become evident to me, that operating LED’s is uncharted territory, and that without a par meter your completely in the dark.
Yeah, I do all my ordering through her. If I need something small and immediately I’ll run to the store for pick up.
I had a question about some gavita lights the other day, and she had a rep from gavita call me. Anytime I have a problem, she’s got the answer or connects me with someone who does.
Rspec makes one that comes with gas tubes for calibration.
I built mine following the pySpectrometer open source build for like $300 but I had some gas tubes already. The gas tubes are super important for calibration.
i have a hopoo HPC300P par meter/spectrometer $1100 https://www.hopoocolor.com/product/detail/OHSP350P.html, works from 350nm to 800nm. ive tested it against an apogee and its par readings are accurate ive tested dozens of different diodes and the spectrometer readings compare well to manufacturers data sheets.
Definitely don’t use it in combo with the HCS-1. They were making my lights to weird shit. And turning on and off every few seconds. Apogee is who Pinnacle systems is using on some of their sensors, and he only picks out primo shit to build his systems with.
Troll master has been nothing but problem with me, the controllers are ok but the sensors are another story. There’s a reason why the sensors are way cheaper.
