I done my homework on replacing my diodes in my black boxes. Why replace them? I have found that they do degrade over the years and require upping the intensity over time.
The majority of the diodes have been running non stop since October 2016 without any burning out. Not bad in my book.
So here's the run down:
55 diodes per unit x's three units is 165 diodes. Cost is relatively cheap at $65 dollars for all 165 diodes. Much of the spectrums are sold in larger quantities than I need, so there is more than 165 that will be order.
Diode run down per box:
Spectrum / Number needed
20000k 4
14000k 14
3500k 2
660nm 2
520nm 2
490nm 4
450nm 20
420nm 5
395nm 2
