open your case put a thermometer on your heatsinks and tell me led runs cooler then hps ambient tempreture yes on smaller models operating temp not even close
Yeah mine too, I'm running a 100watt Blackstar and 180Watt Blackstar, and they do make some noise, but not as much as my inline fan... not even close. And as for the heat, I don't know what that guy is talking about; they barely produce any heat at all the air coming out of the top of the case is mildly warm at most.
200w+ acctual led draw not including fans , blackstar 500 , 600 , 900 , magnum 357 , pro-grow 400 an 550 etc etc
your blackstar 180 pulls 90-100w total watts including fans your 100w ufo about 45w total yes they are quiet and cooler because they are small and underpowered in comparison to say the blackstar 500 which is 300w, large model leds are not as quiet or as cool as companies would have you belive
alot of these comments show how little people acctualy know about the technology or the brands they have dropped $$$ into , not having a go at you but an easy example is your 280w led grow your not using 280w of led at all , blackstar mislead with there marketing and dont list acctual watts
perhaps a thread detailing advertised watts to acctual led draw of the brands is in order to help people better understand and wade through the marketing gimmicks
