Hello,
Just curious at to whether any of you have experimented with plasma lighting? It's a little more expensive than the larger LED systems, however the results gathered from them apear to be staggering. Meanwhile, LED system results swing around from very good to, well, bad.
OK so LED saves electricity in comparison to mega consumers HID, however there is little fact on the internet regarding electrical consumption by plasma lighting. Could anybody help out with a few figures?
Further, I would like some concrete proof that that LED lighting is effective, as studies in biology, phytochromes in particular, has taught me that plants require more than simply a few specific wavelengths of light, indeed photosynthesis is active at all levels to some degree. I have a difficult time believing that LED is as effective as full spectrum light. Am I wrong?
The exception here is germination, which thrives on 650 - 680nm. And let me tell you, infra red light definitively stunts germination.
Finally, heat stress is a major consideration. How much heat does plasma lighting produce in comparison to, say, CFL?
Thank you for reading this. I hope someone might help me with this topic.
Love and Learn.
