I've heard from different people that HPS wash better for hash than LED's....like much better.... I have zero exp with LED's...Id really like to make the switch also... getting more positive vibes trending towards that direction overall....
I made the leap into double endeds right after they hit the scene but took me a minute to switch to LED’s. Glad I did though.

got 1930e’s in my bloom room.
Got hlg 300b’s in the veg room.
And i setup my daughter with 600r’s.

I’d have zero problem going with some knock off 1930e’s on a new grow if the price was right. I searched but didn’t find them.
I used to buy the fuck out of “knock off” Ccells from alibaba,
I saw some similar ones a while back but didn’t have the lens. But yeah I like this style light when you don’t have a lot of extra sq ft and need to penetrate as far as possible. If I had all kinds of extra space I’d prob just run a bigger room and use the 650 watts bars especially since the price is coming down on them.

I just did a quick search. This is the longest running, verified seller I could find with them.

Thanks for the link.

I think I’ll order a couple of those to replace the 2 de hps I have left in that room, and see how they compare.

I’ll prob wait til after Xmas to order.

leds are a serios rip off. they don't grow as good bud as hps and aren't as good at vegging as mh... and they die fast... you can't really replace all those leds on the boards so your screwed...

lets say it lasts 5 years...it cost 1000 freaking dollars...
you could by 10 hps for that...

you aren't saving any money by using led unless maybe you have a source of dc power like they have over in some places in europe... and you are using the leds direct from dc. then you will get an effeciency advantage beause it doesn't have to convert the ac to dc...

"High Pressure Sodium bulbs have a rated life of 24,000 hours..."
not sure about the de bulbs life span...something tells me not long

also they way they grow with them high up in warehouses a lot of the uv spectrum is lost down that low...
every foot from the grow light the uv light is dimished...
You’re a fucking Moron aren’t you. Something tells me you can’t grow so you bash leds. Are the 1930’s really good not really I tried them and Im not a fan but gavita isn’t exactly owned by the same ppl anymore. There are however some really stellar leds out there most of which blow hps out of the water. You can replace strips and boards as well they’re modular. But they generally last 10 years before they start losing their punch. Hps especially in a commercial setting get changed every 2 grows. i Don’t think you know much about commercial growing either so best bet is sit back and watch as people grow and you may learn something.
