Do you have a source for the maps? Top graph is clearly labeled “1000 watt gavita hps”, but no heading on led data.

You can see the same pattern here from a Fluence PAR map without the fancy line illustration

From vypr series light I’m guessing. That’s kinda cherry picking on behalf of hps wouldn’t you say?
I went to look on led grow lights depot, I couldn’t find any lights from fluence that they carried. They do carry the gavita led fixture though, which is close enough to be considered a ripoff of a fluence light. Even shown in same format as the DE
What I find a lot of humor in, is how much garbage was thrown from gavita about leds. Then they released one that looked identical to fluence.

It was the wrong par map. Cherry picked from a loose google search so good call. But still:
This is from the Guys at Iluminar Lighting with a five bar SPYDR like fixture:
good eye. I figured someone would have a better one off par map. Thanks for fact checking

I’m slightly familiar with them is all. Even that one is a few models old.
I’m not even really sure what the consideration of the par maps is suppose to be here? I just noticed that first one wasn’t from their flagship light.

Resolution is everything @dbrn32
Bar fixtures have a higher density of chips in the center than the edges. If a 4x4 fixture is mounted on a 5 by 5 spacing, you will still get hot and cold spots

On a commercially built fixtures where as all bars are identical and spaced evenly, absolutely. Highest light intensity will be around greatest chip density.

Was someone suggesting otherwise?

I was only clarifying that we weren’t representing the Vypr and that the Spydr series and any other bar fixture is going to demonstrate a hot spot

For sure, is there a grow light available that doesn’t? I guess I was lost as to where the led hot spot came in.

Thanks to @dbrn32, I’m a qb grower, myself. Well, I’m still using a set of blurples in one tent, but this is the last grow using them. Next season, all qb.
