If i remember correctly he comes to the conclusion they just aint worth it yet


Won't be 'worth it' from a cost vs HID, only consideration for many years, until the more efficient, higher output LED's become commodity items selling for <$3ea.
Better LED's (not the ones used in craptastic LED grow lights by startup co's like those being adverts on MJ forums) currently cost ~$6 USD ea, in quantities <1000. Got to buy 100k or more to bring the price down.

There are a whole range of LED efficiencies in a particular manufacturers line, constantly changing from year to year. You have to look at which specific model part# are being used. Virtually none of the 'grow' light manufacturers provide any essentially useful info.

I think advanced LED is a bit stagnent at present, due to world wide recession. Give it a few more years.
so what you're saying is that everyone in this thread but you is wrong and stupid, even though everyone seems to be coming to the same conclusion for, most likely, the exact same reasons?

eventually...
your plants will seemingly grow in the dark...

youll turn on the light so that you can work...
youll see each of their leaves tented by a soapbubble like film...
whos underside is an array of microscopic leds bathing the photoreceptors from a fraction of an inch away...

wireless of course...

Man, you come out with some pure sci-fi genius at times - that's a fucken brilliant idea! Of course, except when it comes time to wipe off the film . . . and your trichomes, too. :grin:
