I'm new here, just started reading couple days ago and wonder if any one here ever used LED lights for growing?
I did searched all open forums and system says - no matches found

*slaps you harder*

it helps if your search term is longer than 3 characters... =O

DOH... !!

Yeah do a search, there isn't much to see but some poeople have used them...I personally am not impressed at all...maybe in a couple of years...maybe

They can be very expensive in terms of initial cost and you still need quite a few of them for most grow setups. LED Grow Lights.com Home Page seem to have the best on the market, those LED Grow Bars are bs, don't invest in them. From my dealings with this company they are very good about answering questions and for custom sales quotes. I just wish I had the cash to invest in them, but my HPS works just fine and at a fraction of the cost. If you are concerned about stealthing your power use then LED's are the best but be prepared for sticker shock.... Their 100w LED Kit, an effective replacement for 400w HPS lighting costs just over $1000 and requires growing space of at least 4' in length to accommodate the track lighting. This can mean great coverage but a limited amount of lumen for certain spaces. Hope this helps!

thanks for the reply.
however putting the cost aside would LED be the best choice?
i just want to experiment and found some lights on ebay which seems like a pretty good deal.
i wonder though how many plants you can put under this pack?
4-IN-ONE 168 LED MIX Grow Light growing lights 4 PACK - (eBay item 110195747416 end time Nov-22-07 07:40:00 PST)

I would also suggest buying from this company... Other alternatives are making your own or buying pre-made "flat" led arrays...

but on ebay prices for 100w kit is about $150-$250.
why you're saying it'd cost over $1000?
and still - are they the best for the purpose?

LED posts do exist on here.On youtube there are a few videos of LED grows. The cost to get them is real high right now and verdict is still out on them.I emailled htggardensupplies but have found over the years if you ask something he doesnt know or doesnt wanna answer he will just ignore your emails.
