Not an expert by any means in LEDs. I do run a similar style (125w) with my setup for spectrum. As a solo light think it will make a difference for you as every main grow LED normally has the switches. As an accent shouldn't matter

IMO, the only difference is that LED arrays without switches will include all color spectrums needed. - - See COB setups. Some include IR and UV lights, for a FULL spectrum of light. I own two of these switchable types, and I just looked at the switches as energy savers, with the ability to keep the red LEDs off, during veg.

Lighting cycle for VEG stage. Is 24x7 OK?Hi, Should I use the VEG lights 24x7 from the time I plant my seed until it's ready to bloom, or would something like 18 hours on and 6 hours off make more sense? Is there a "best practice" for veg lighting? It has worked for my first 3 grows. VIPARSPECTRA 600W LED Thanks, Mr.STM

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent? I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.

Lux Meter and Hydroponics Who has experience with using LUX meters to position lights in various stages of hydroponic growth. I feel I am giving mine too much light, based on the readings, but don't want to pull them back. Currently 10" from the plants.
