theyre commercial overhead lights
they have what look like 2 floro ballasts and a surge supressor in each
and are supposed to run on 277volts
but they come on plenty bright with 120volts
theyre brilliant white
no idea what spectrum preciesly
they were retro-fitted in a warehouse
but changed out because at 30' overheard
they were to bright
they dont seem to bright now

got some led fixtures recently
only ran em a minute to see if they would light
didnt notice any heat
but the fixture is about all heat sink ribs as if they things get extremely hot
didnt note the wattage,
will check tomorrow
ive got a shallow cabinet i was just going to put some 4' floro's into
was thinking mabe these would do well
if i could transplant them out of their fixture

Those LED power supplies are essentially universal power supplies. Usually they run fine 90-290VAC.
I'm curious about the lamp spectra though. If you could run a ray of light (through a hole in a piece of cardboard) through a prisim, you'll get some indication of what's going on. My bet is a lot of individual, strong, spectral lines. (nothing like a rainbow)
I have no clue how well widely spaced spectral lines will work for photosynthesis.

If you want government to intervene overseas, you’re a conservative.

My 150 hps gets red hot too but with my 180 cfm blower ( made by hydrofarm ) sucking the heat out of my cab it's very cool inside. And my blower is running at 50% of maximum voltage ( using an auto transformer ).
Build that grow cab Ben.

If Muley can scruff along i can too.

so ones much heavier than the other
it pulls 20watts at .2 amps
the lighter pulls 60 watts .6amps
and yes i double checked that
both are labeled as fire hazards and suitable for wet location
wish i could share a picture
they both have two ballast looking things
and are enclosed with a heavy glass dome over the led's
was thinking about trying to take one apart to remount the led
as is
they are about foot square cubes with the dome in addition
and yes chester id though that but wasnt sure
cut off a very unusual male plus to tempararily hotwire them
and see if they would run on the house current
which both did

Power supplies were a safe bet. I've worked with some folks doing development on those. Top voltage is 277, they run on just about anything lower (until they hit 100% switching), then they'll start dimming. The LED voltage will be 42V or less (there's a ton of LEDs in series). The 42VDC is a UL / CSA requirement.
For a prism, any piece of triangular cut glass will do. I've seem lots of decorative glass do-dads on old light fixtures that make a rainbow in sunlight.
Never a prism around when you need one though.
Here's a thought: water prism A bowl of water and a mirror..... Whatever next?
