Has anyone heard of these new plasma lights. Im looking for someone that has knowledge and expierence using them. I was talking to a guy at the local hydro shop and he said that this is the new way to go!!! Anyone have anything on this subject at hand??

As far as I know, they not that good for flowering. You couldnt add an led light with alot of red and youll have a pretty sweet set up

At this time they are hard to get a hold of and cost a ton. They are good for growing as they have made a full spectrum bulb and eventually there will be color specific.Its something like 100watt bulb thats less then half inch in size equals like a 1500 watt hps bulb.. Heres some info on them and a video showing the grow plasmas in use. Monster Gardens sells them.... bring lottsa money...

by the time they are functional i bet everyone will have switched to LED's and junked their HID.

Doubtful.

LEDs are old technology and have an inherently inefficient design that will not allow vertical growing. 1x 600w HPS = more yield per energy cost by a lot over a 600w LED.
