    I think you only have 'too much' light if your temperatures are too high, or you are burning your plants.

    You can't have too much light, period.

    First there is this, where light intensity over a certain point is wasted.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthetic_efficiency
    "Photosynthesis by D.O.Hall & K.K.Rao says that photosynthesis increases linearly up to about 10,000 lux or ~100 watts/square meter
    before beginning to exhibit saturation effects. Thus, most plants can only utilize ~10% of full mid-day sunlight intensity."




    Then there is bleaching going on with to much LED light.

    So yes I think you can have to much light, it's properly a rare occurrence but for argument sake, I'll say yes you can.

    They make more noise then I imagined that's for sure, and the thought of keep having a study with a closet grow is under consideration.
    And they don't heat my room as well as my HPS did, they simply ain't using enough power and it's a bit chilly here right now.

    I can't think off anything else that's negative about them.

    But please share your experience Mr. vocabulary

    Never used LEDs
    I apologize for my incessant rambling, but if you are patient there is inner hidden wisdom in most of my posts...Like playing literary "Where's Waldo."--------------- See, it's fun!

    I have seen some great grows using led lights. The problem is that the cost of them is still to high as compared to any other system.
