In photosynthesis, what are the products of the Light Dependent reaction, and the Light Independent reaction (Calvin Cycle)?

Light dependent:

H20 is split to form: 1/2 O2ATP and NADPH

Light Indepedent/Calvin Cycle:

CO2 is used, in the presence of RuBP and Rubisco enzyme to make G3P, which is needed to make sugars, i.e. Glucose.

NADPH and ATP from the LDR is reduced back to NADP and ADP to be used again in the LDR, once used in the LIR.
