investing in LED

SHAMAN

CHEAP!!! I payed less for my 400w HPS and its coveradge is way way way greater than ten of those LED setups..
They are like A.Garden's good for house plants or little vegtables/herbs. I wouldn't was't my money to try to save a dollar in electricity.

I agree with GN. Do any of you remember where HIDs were a short 15 years ago? Flouros were the deal back then. Best to wait and let it develop a bit. After all, you don't smoke the weed as soon as it sprouts. Have a bit of patience and let the new technology be perfected, and by then it will be cheaper, too!

I agree for now but just wait a few years...LED's should be kicking some ass.

I didnt mean cheap in comaprison to HID's I meant cheap compared to other LED setups.

I just finished the set up of 2-225 light LED panels(I bought from wholesaler in your link)in my growbox. 900 LED lights consist of 4- 12.25x12.25 /225 LED light panels.Just started 4 healthy/2 dwarf
babbies,after 2wks of 65w 6500k CFL flood kept about 6" above tops on a 24hr light cycle. Now as for light output the 65w 6500k
CFL flood fixture I was using had an output (at cone level)of 1000 lmns.The LED panels combined output is 100 lumns.(but the box is bright inside)Now for the real test: will these babbies thrive or wilt...

PS i am a pathological liar, and have illusions of grandeur. I post pictures of pot plants i found on the internet and i have never nor will i ever consider the cultivation of marijuana, as it is illegal.

these are the LED am currently growing with in a sea of green aeroponic setup ill post more as they develope.

<DIV>900 LED Grow light Panel Red Blue 110 V Hydroponic Lamp
Click to Enlarge
4 110 Volt fixtures of 225 LED Each = 900 LEDs
We have RED, BLUE, 12V and 220 Volt RED+BLUE Panels
DESCRIPTION:Quality built dual color blended LED Grow Light Panel<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 7.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">

Bigbeck878

FEATURES: Solid state, Cooler running, High efficiency, Wide angle, Dual Color Blended full spectrum plant lighting.
BENIFITS: This panel has no ballasts to burn out like other plant lights. It does not run hot, just warm. You will not experience unsightly brown burned leaves when they accidentally touch the LEDs. This is common with most other lights that get very hot. This more controlled running temperature reduces the need to water so often and keeps rooms with plants from getting uncomfortably hot in the summer months requiring additional air conditioning. Extreme energy efficiency permits this new LED panel to pay for itself many times over each year in electricity savings. It saves 50% to 90% in energy consumptioncompared to incandescent bulbs or fluorescent tubes. Wide angle projection insures uniform leaf coverage.
The Advantages of LED Last up to 100,000 hours (or about ten years) Withstand shocks, vibrations, frequent switching and temperature extremes Reduction of maintenance costs Decrease of electric costs by up to 90% Low heat generation Variety of colors available
Wide range of voltage applications

Scientifically calculated even blending of red and blue LEDs eliminates the time consuming task of repositioning separate colored lights back and forth trying to achieve uniform exposure. 14 to 16 hours per day is all that is necessary for maximum plant health with this wave blended lighting system. This allows distances 6" and less between the LEDs and the plants accelerating photosynthesis. Red and blue wavelengths are for growing and flowering of plants.The typical white plant lights that are very hot is unnecessary and just consume excessive electricity. The purity of the LED generated light lengthens flowering periods. These LEDs turn on instantly and can be turned on by hand each day or work well with all standard lamp timers.
The design of this new all in one Full Spectrum plant lighting panel allows maximum level photosynthesis food production, growth and flowering all in one. It is the new Full Spectrum system providing maximum plant health, beauty and productivity.
These LED light panels are perfect as an all year plant light for permanent plant benches and especially productive for spring vegetable and flower seedling development
