[:] Advanced LED-technology [:]

I came up with this invention by accident when I inserted RC-helicopter controller into TV video input. I then noticed, that it has a very "saw waveform".

Then I realized, that these controlles can be used to control LED-lights so that they blink all the time.

It should save some energy and it cools down the LEDs so much, that I think you can give them about 10 times more voltages as usual. Now I am running about 4 times more as usual power. The LEDs are very cool to touch, not even warm.

Now I am experimenting how the plants react to the blinking light. They should sprout in few days.

Very interesting premises. Wonder how well the strobe effect will work in relayion to plant growth. Everything as far as cooling and life span makes sense though. Il be watching!

First of all...cool concept, I love the thinking outside the box! +rep. Mind you, I'm no expert. I did go to electronics school a very long time ago though. If I remember correctly, it takes more voltage to fire up L.E.D.'s than to continuously run them. Is this still true with today's more advanced L.E.D.'s? As efficient as L.E.D.'s are, IMO I would rather cram as much wattage per sq. ft. in an area with those little glorious globes of light as I can. Hell, people always knock L.E.D.'s for their penetration, here's your answer... I say if you are trying to replace HID lighting, match the output of the L.E.D.'s to those of the HID lighting you're trying to compete with and you'll have one KICK ASS lighting system. It wont hurt to put full spectrum single T5 strips in the corners of your grow space either. Best of luck man! Innovation is the key to success.

Thx! I am waiting the plants to come up. Very exciting to see how they react to this light. Next step is to try different pulses, it is now with the highest setup but I also want to try if the plants grow differently with another freq of light.

the blinking light does nothing for your plants it takes 18 hours of light for veg in leds you say you put more vvolts to your leds the volts are 110 or 220 the leds run on drivers you can run bigger drivers one red led pulls 2.6 volts you add the number of leds most cases 25 leds to one driver the drviers come in watts 20watt to 700watt drivers all drivers run on 93volts to 326volts to make lights brighter you add watts if you a 20 watt driver you put in a bigger watt driver if you are running a 12volts on your leds its a joke kentrugrolights

The chiles have also come up, everything looks OK.

Science doesnt know the functions of klorophyl yet fully. So, it is my theory, that when the clorophyl takes a photon, it will take time when it is transferred elsewhere. So, this time when it is transferred, tha lights can be off. U get my point?

I'm subbed!! Very cool concept, and again, +rep for the out of the box thinking!!! I doubt very seriously if the "off time" will affect anything since it's the length of the dark cycle that governs hormonal responses.
