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?

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.
