Hey man, don't be giving up on LEDs so quickly. I doubt your idea will work, but hey, give it a whirl if you got time. Like someone suggested, try the preferated board, it'll have decent spacing(and you could add some).
I know I'm going LEDs within the next month. I'm going to get the standard 600watt for flowering, and a 300watt for vegging. Yea, it'll have the initial high cost at first, but not having to deal with all that heat and electric bill will be worth it. These things last over 6 years, i'm sure over that length of time I could find a pound or so to help pay for it, and buy a spare. I have a friend who can turn over 3 lbs every 3 weeks in a 8x8x8 room, it's the shit.

LEDs are so efficient because they produce very specific frequencies of light. Colored glass is not similar.

why would it not be
colored glass acts as a felter and only allows the color spect. of your choice to pass red only let red pass blue only let blue pass and so on
and not all x-mass lights use colored glass the one i am talking about only produces the color when turned on

hey thanks for the rebuld of con. i do plan on trying it i kind of have it all worked out here are my plains (feel free to try it as well,, anyone, the more we know the more we gorw,)
i plan of useing an al. baking pan as the hood im going to perferate the bottom of the pan and then push the x-mass lights through it then glue or ele.tape the light in place i plan on using 5 red string 2blue string (350w-425w)this will be used in my flowering room with my current cfl setup i know that i will have to use a fan mabe some pc fan i dont know just yet
maybe i could just use it as top lights and mycfls for side lights
but before i put this thing in my grow room i diffinetly want to get som temp reading and i need to do a test run of it mebe set it up some where on a timer let run for 24hr for 1 week then 18/6 for 1 wk then 12/12 for 1 wk thats should be ok for a test run before i use it the real finall test
would be if the plants florished under it maybe a light meter test later on down the line
if it works the whole build will cost less then 100$us
i do plan on doc. everything

thanks man you guys are so fucking great
if it works, it works, and if it dosnt then oh well
but for some reason i think it will work and work well and the said thing about it
ill receive no credit but this is lifeand the price of leds will drop and no one will say hay this guy on the net thought of that
and someone else will be on the cover of hightimes not me but someone else and all my douter will say that guys a genius

Too much light is absorbed by the paint(not efficient), yes, it acts like a filter. Whereas an LED is often using highly efficients means to produce specific wavelengths of light.

the only light that is absorbed by the paint is the spectrum that are being filtered out like a stain glass window or like sunglasses true the painted glass ones will not be as intence as the colors made by chemical reaction but they will still emite red spectrum and blue
if you hold a colored light up to a light meter that could tell you what kelven temp that light was given off a blue light would read blue and a red will read red weather it was red colored or chemical reaction red
red is red
now one may be more intences then the other now you can argue that
right know i have some seedling and when it time too bud i will make a budding light out of x-mas lights and then we will see based on thery it should work
dont let the name x-mass lights fool you
they are strong and are made too burn 24/7 some lights you can see from miles away
the only thing slowing me down is that there not in season and i got this idea after they were pulled off the store shelves
be on the look out for my grown under x-mass light thread

LIGHT is measured in LUMENS, and Lumens are what we see or perceive with our human eyes. LUMENS are not what the plant sees. Plants see RAYS, UVA, and UVB.
Sunlight is seen by us as basically one color, just bright LIGHT, we perceive as white light or sometimes yellow light, but that is just what we see with our eyes. With our eyes, we can not see the spectrums, or rays of red, blue, orange, green and yellow. We can not see the blue or red spectrums, and when we do see a red or blue light bulb, that makes red or blue light, that is not the same as seeing a spectrum.
A blue bulb does not emit a blue spectrum, or blue rays. Same goes for a red bulb.
LED lights are very new, experimetnal, and expensive and there is ONE manufactuer of LED Lights for growing, named UFO. Even at best, they are weak for growing.

Good definition Roseman, theres a huge difference in what we see and what a plant "see's. I don't think UFO is the only manufactuer of LEDs though. Theres also Growl LED Inc. heres the website:

I'm buying the Mastiiff for floweringf, and the Pitbull for vegging. I can customize the Pitbull with only blue spectrum as well. As I wrote before, I have a friend who uses the pitbull and he can turn over 3lbs every 3 wks once everything is clicking. Right now i'm using 1000wtt HPS, and I don't need a furnace thats for sure.
