ive been looking at the new l.e.d lights no heat no electricity cost(90watts equal in light output to 400hps) any spectrum needed no infared signature. besides initial cost these look like they make the whole halide hps debate obsolete. the possibilites are endless with this technology. anybody currently using these lights or have experience with them?

As of right now, anytime these words are used in a paragragh with L.E.D.'s it is describing them and where your plants will go if you use them.

before you go out and spend a fortune on LED's. check out my grow and see if you like the results in the end. im doing an experiment so anyone on here curious about LED's can know what results to expect. after that the choice is up to you. keep in mind also, the ones im using are the cheap, readily available ones you can get off ebay. im not saying there could be better results using higher cost LEDS, these are the ones that everyone seemd to be asking about
Full LED grow room/aeroponic system. first attemp

I was just going to link your grow thunder.

im currently growing w/hps but liked the low heat low electricity concept with the led's. most of what i have read on here is negative towards led's. has anyone used that 90w ufo led light?

LED such as the one your refering to the UFO are ok for additional light but nothing compared to HID lighting not even close. Go to youtube and search led grows and you will see they pretty much suck as stand alone lighting. The future will be plasma lighting. A tic tac sized bulb with no ballast outputs more then a 400 watt light and uses a third the power

I am using them now, so far no problems really cool lights no noise, they are cheap and you can put them right up to your plants and they wont burn them.

well for now i have two 400hps and eight 42w cfl. there doing well so far the only problem sometimes is heat in summer.

i agree about plasma lighting. thats the new technology that theyve been working on for the last decade or so in projects to slow down the speed of light. if youre going to spend on the latest and greatest, then id save my pennies for a sulphur plasma.

I have been using LEDs for auxilliary lighting on my mc's for several years, and the one drawback is they can be VERY directional. As far as a plant goes, it may not matter, but for the human eye it does.
