But I'm here for the CMH discussion, here in the CMH thread.
...unless the grower needs additional heat even when they already have a hard-driven COB fixture -due to the fact that the COB fixture's cooling system works "too well" to give off enough of that extra over-driven heat.
Then the room itself needs insulation. Led is still a source of heat.
Only bad drivers get hot. CMH lights put off more heat than led.
But again, having to go to the extra trouble in order to compensate for something that would give me an all-in-one kind of effect to begin with....hmmmm
Some people might call that attitude close minded.
Insulation will help reduce overheating in summer as well.
But I only grow during the cold months indoors to avoid the bugs that are present everywhere. I've found that if I do this, then I have zero bug-issues in the grow space. But the drawback with using the cool-running LED is that I have to add a space heater...etc. That's why I think the LEC might work better for me in my application. Plus, the color of the LEC light seems to be less nauseating than the standard HPS bulbs that most people run. I see some advantages to both LED and HID, but...the HID might be the ticket for me. LEC is about the only kind of light I don't have...yet!
I'm not that guy.

I just found out, grow bulbs are exempt from the efficiency standards outlined in EISA. http://www.bulbs.com/learning/phaseoutexemptions.aspx
'For awhile', but lifetimes tend to be pretty long.
the nanolux 630w (2×315w's ) are doing great have noticed a considerable reduction in the electric, from lights and a/c not cycling as much as last run.
except I have one Phillips green power in the far end fixture, and hortilux eye for HPS.
That discussion deserves it's own thread.
I really like LEC's they are rad.
that was one of my Favorite movies.... how random...
