Post by bentech »

everyones been talking for years
half of everyones selling em

but there is no baseline concensus!!!

no way of comparing products and certainly no comparison to HID lighting

hell fucking, the only thing this technology seems to be bring to the table is the destruction of lumens being any way of comparing lights with each other

All the research I have done but no actual experimentation leads me to believe LED still has a long way to go.

I'm going 600w HPS 's unless someone can convince me otherwise?
Just because I can't spell misanthrope doesn't mean I'm completely stupid.

Or
I was thinking ya could by use LED bulbs that are ready to screw into a standard light socket. make a panel of say 50 of these (5 x 10) for a 350 watt panel similar to one my fluoro panels. No need to hassle with drivers or step down voltage regulators.

7W 6500K White LED $4.59. Available in 6500 K or 3000k. Alternate them for a good plant spectrum
