LED Companies w/ LINKS

Nice thread thought about putting that in mine but didnt know if it was advertising too much/i was too lazy :P

I can say that my personal experience with the ProGrow 260 has been positive the first 4 months.
Before you get a light read lots of journals :P My biggest suggestion

Just received some interesting mail from e.shine systems....

I'm really interested in trying one of these products, I'm thinking about trying the 126x3.... looks just like the penetrator pattern, but I wouldn't feel like I was being raped for buying one.

They use 30, 60, and 90 degree lenses.... and you can completely customize which LED's you want in the lights. The cases look identical to "Diamond series" from Advanced LED Lights....

I've been a cfl grower looking to go even cheaper on my elec bill. After reading a bunch on LED's and nanometers in relation to photosynthesis. In my findings alot of threads and LED suppliers say you've gotta have the bulbs anywhere from 12-36" above your plants, tho I don't have that much space in my Rubbermaid cabinet(only 36*36*16 inside measurements)

What I don't know about LED's is whether NM rating is important whan you switch to 12/12, cuz I figure as long as the plants receiving usable PAR in either blue or red color shouldn't matter right...?

I've been looking at this little setup, tho IDK if its too small or too large http://www.advancedledlights.com/pro...row-Light.html

After I transplant in about 2 weeks the new pots will be 12" plus about 12-18" of plant by that time...Any thoughts???

The wavelength of light that the plant requires for optimal photosynthesis differs from vegging to flowering. In HID lighting it's common to use a MH bulb for vegging and a HPS for flowering because they both produce light in different wavelengths. The same is true of LED's; more red light means it's a flowering panel, more blue means it's a vegging panel. Or often you see LED light looks either magenta, or purple; Magenta is mostly red, with some blue LED's and purple is mostly blue with some red LED's. They can generally be used for both vegging and flowering.

You're only going to have 4" of room if I understand you correctly; that's not much to work with. With LED's you want the light a bit further away during vegging maybe 12-16', and about 6-10" away during flowering. Not really enough room to use them as directed, but it would still work...

Lol yeah I didn't think of the height I'd have to work with. I have considered LSTing but idk if it'll help my situation. Since I've only got 36" high to work with, would these little 15w LEDs be good for the area or still too close to the plants? Do you think these little 15w bulbs will be too close?

However, since I got my cabinet free from my last job I've looked around at thrift store etc. for a taller cabinet/setup so i can still grow have 2-3 plants about 2-3ft tall by end of flower.

Ohhhh... I thought you had 16" total height. 12" for the bucket, and 4" left over.

If you have 36" height, and the bucket is 12", you've got lots of room. More than enough.

If you want a small light, I might recommend one of the 135watt Blackstar UFO's....

A great LED starter light, uses 3 watt diodes; and under $200....
