Does Dimming LED Change Spectrum
We tested HLG 550 ECO 3000K spectrum at 200Watts and 500Watts to see if dimming changes the spectrum. Lamp was operating at the same temperature during both tests. HLG 550 ECO is powered by 1296 pcs Samsung LM301H Full Spectrum White LED.
We measured Correlated Color Temperature CCT, CRI, Red/Blue and Red/Far Red to see if these values changed with dimming
| 500 Watts | 200 Watts | |
| CRI | 84 | 84 |
| CCT | 3104K to 3112K | 3085K to 3092K |
| Peak wavelength | 609nm | 609nm |
| Red/Blue | 3.46 | 3.51 |
| Red/Far Red | 12.27 | 12.46 |
Summary
Dimming full spectrum white LED has a very small impact on spectrum shift. This impact is so small that it can be ignored for Horticulture application.
There would have been more difference if we would have dimmed down to 10% or lower.
