hate the purple lights. are sf and mars burning purple/pink?

There are many really good lights out there! I have 5 different brands and none of them is purple. You get purple light when they use red and blue LEDs, so watch out for the LED colors. Have fun getting your light!!

I run a handful of SF2000s. They are good lights. The white lights to our eyes are better than the blurple lights. Look for Samsung diodes - specifically LM301 if possible. Mars Hydro and spider farmer I have extensive experience with. Good mid range lights. Viparspectra seem to be on par with them as well. Like hashy said - the bar light style is way to go. Uniformity of Light distribution is best you can get with bar lights

Viperspectra xs series are a good white light. Mars Ts serves are good. The new bar lights by spider, Mars and Viperspectra are all supposed to be good.

I grow with a Phlizon and the light is white... I'm thinking maybe you have lights that give you "veg" lights and "bloom" lights? Have you tried running them at 100%?? I have no idea, honestly! I DID find this article that might help you out in understanding the various spectrums... in fact, I'm going to have to go read it more carefully myself as it seems like it's got a lot of good info... https://www.agcled.com/blog/the-effect-of-all-kinds-of-light-on-plants-atop-led-grow-light.html Good luck!
