I did a cost benefit model of LEDs vs HPS based on average life of a bulb at 10,000 hours and with a cost of $50.00 each.
Cost Model
Cost per kilowatt hour
Power Dissipated
Bulb Life in 1000 hours
Initial Cost
Total Electricity Cost over 100,000 hour use
Total Cost of Bulbs over 100,000 hour use
Total Cost 100,000 hour use

leds = lol

leds are the snakeoil of the 2000's . some day in the year 2300 someone will have to get respect for leds again, itll be tough. for now hahahahah.

as much led watts as real bulb watts = lol again. ill bet its hotter in that room and with all those fixtures it takes twice as much room to fit it.

led light penetration = non existent. a 1k will penetrate 3-4 feet for buds on the bottom of plant. how can you compare?

youll have one 1 inch bud on top of a 2 foot toothpick of a plant.

your better off just putting your money in the garbage and getting drunk. cause in the end you wont have any bud to smoke anyway and youll be drinking the sadness away with your high tech non existent buds.

why does no one ever bother with specs for 250w? i live in a fucking desert, and unless I want to move 600cfm in and out the space i grow in can't work with anything begger.. I'd love 2 1000w but its just not happening in in a 2x3.5 footprint.

OL ya I use a 250w for my veg. I just put a few on there just for a general referance, if you open the file you will find that you can enter your own setup.

And just cause Im nice. A 250w will use:

10hrs = 75KWh
12hrs = 90KWh
14hrs = 105KWh
16hrs = 120KWh
18hrs = 135KWh

In the US it costs 600 per month to run 4800 watts and 1200 for about 9000 watts.
