Thinking of ordering rapidleds uv's but

They don't have optics! Are people getting enough penetration without them! Or should I wait a month for the optics to come out?

 

How many do you need?

I just had to order 4 to many True Violets w/ built in 60 degree optics. I'd let them go for cost plus shipping.

It would be 4 of these right HERE .

 

thx, but i was thinking 12!

 

No worries. Just thought I'd offer. Otherwise they'll sit in a box.

 

ok ordered a 12 uv plug and play kit from rapid, and 8 blues to swap out with my rb's, and some 90 degree optics from ebay thanks to exactlyob's rec!

so when done i'll have all 3 watt cree's
24 cw's
16 rb's
8 blues
12 uv's

overkill is putting it lightly, i currently am running my blues at 55% and whites at 35% and may dim them down from there for a bit!

 

Do bear in mind that too much UV is a poison.

 

Yeah I was concerned about that, but mike and exactlyobp said that sounds about right! I did get 90 degree optics to help spread it out so it wouldn't be spotlighted as much!

I can also either run them on my blue or white program which is currently set at 60%blue and 35% white and I'm guessing will only get to prob 70%/45% or so!
Thoughts?
