Anyone out there using the LED T8, T10, or T12 tube lights?
They are quite expensive, so i was just wondering if they work well...

Got a huge grow going at the moment, with 13 strains and 48 plants.
Going to be flowering with 1200w HPS starting the end of this month.

But i was looking at these LED tubes for future side lighting.
If they are worth the price that is.
Because i would need 6-12 packs(of 2) @ around $90ea. or case of 15 for $600...
Please post pics of grows using these bulbs if you have any.



Posting this before i pass the hell out so... Leave me some sort of comments on this please.

Take Care

Check petfloras thread. Also check out apache tech. They recently released high par t8 led tubes and fixture. It might not be on their site. They lagg on updating their site. Just email them. I think they either go for $35 or $50 for each tube. I forget. There was a lot of different pricing thrown around before they were ready for release. I don't know how much their fixture is though.
edit:
they are 89.99 I checked. But they might have promo codes for discount for those pricing above

Hyroot Thanks for the plug:bigjoint:

The led market is changing faster than a speeding bullet.

In my last (didn't buy them until ~ 2 weeks into flower) and current grow I started using 4 @ 18- 20w tubes as soon as the plant leafs were developed enough to utilize more than the ~ 40w they started with. 4 bulbs are WW (3000K) and in my mind not warm enough. I was searching for 2400-2700K but could not meet the minimum from China, BUT, while doing this search, low and behold, I came across the next generation- panels to replace overhead office lighting instead of tubes. Starting a business to retrofit offices, and have 2 @ 2 x 2 60w WW panels coming my way for my tent

Hop on over and watch the show
