Sorry for posting this twice, I just want to get as much feedback as possible. Is this true? Can this 15 watt really rival that of a 200w MH?

So, the claim is you'll get the same results in a an area a little larger than 2 ft. X 2 ft. It's doubtful, mainly because of poor light penatration. The tops of the plants will be fine- beyond that you'll get poor bud development. Maybe 1 plant, close up to the top, will be fine but not worth the money. LED technology is still behind........ and trying to catch up.

So, if anything sounds too good to be true...it probably is.

And Sunshine is a bit sketchy anyways, in my opinion, so I wouldn't take anything they say as being reliable.

You sound like you already know better, so go with what what's already worked for you. These big promises tend to be just a waste of your money. I mean, if you can get your money back if things don't work, then I say go for it, but it never seems to be that easy.

(And personally, I would never buy anything for growing on Amazon. Too easy to track you....)

thanks guys. i guess i'll just stick to my cfls and fluoros for veg. I'm NEVER going to use anything but HPS for flower (other than cfl side lighting). It seems like this bulb would only be good for side lighting on a single or MAYBE 2 plants in my wardrobe grow box. But I dont see the price being worth it. Thanks again
