Why do HID lights have better penetration?

borbor said:

I dunno who said "bulbs are a thing of the past," but I totally disagree, as I'm sure everyone else does- people get good results with hps, people get good results with led, until a light comes out where every user is getting like 2.5 gpw one will not leave the other in the dust.


"I just want to get a really good light that will grow a personal-use amount of high-quality cannabis -something efficient and safe and plug-n-play!" just described the LEC 315 exactly. you'd be doing yourself a massive disservice to not grab one just because some guy on the internet doesn't like lightbulbs even though the rest of the world is having a great time with em.
if bulbs were a thing of the past, why would they still be doing research and development on new bulbs?

Excellent points- and this is precisely the reason I'm making a substantial investment into 315W LEC as we speak.

I'm going to do the head to head testing- several runs worth- and I'll let the technology tell me what's better, how- and therefore, why.

That goes for any other technology or technique that shows real promise- be it lighting or anything else related to growing top quality plants in commercial quantity indoors.

nice, I've got leds on the side of my lec, my philosophy is that if the two are both doing a good job on their own, then

Sounds cool doesn't it. And then it looks like you're joining a bunch of douchebags for a reach-around. Why even tag me unless you're out for a negative response from me and a positive from the haters...

And easier said than done. I call it like I see it. Bullshit. Hate me for it all you want. I talk about lights, ya'll talk about me or your imaginary version of me based on your own projections... Classic RIU. Ad Hominem...

Whichever it is people, fucking deal with it. It's a discussion forum, not a dogma forum.

Surely that leds suck comment was some implied sarcasm or providing some balance in this sub forum with its rapscallion led fanboys misrepresent hid. I've said a lot of nice things about led as well. Led works. Just like paper towel germination.

All this nonsense about hating led is just a result of you loving it to a point that it makes you extremely biassed and any criticism is automatically considered hate and met with such belligerence. Up to a point where you start reporting posts like pusillanimous whited sepulchres.

Flame on...
