light can be within inches of the canopy depending on how big you want the footprint to be. I put it..

Next generation led grow lights
DO-IT-YOURSELF – No ordinary grow light, the LED UFO consumes only 80 watts of power, produces virtually no heat, and boasts light intensity and growth rates exceeding that of 400W hydroponic systems.

He's right high-powered LED Panels or UFO like LED's work great I have two 50W panels and they bud and grow well...a mix of 8 red leds to every 5 blues a nice color spectrum mix. The Wattage output of an LED is 4x that of a MH or HPS...so my 50Watters feel like 200W and I can keep em super close...great growth the lower watt LED's suck in my opinion...you just need alot of 'em.

Ok, ive posted on 30+ threads asking if LEDs are any good. The answer is STILL NO! That will NOT grow your plants. Please search for LED threads.

Dude,

You're wrong- it's all about the spectrum of light and the intensity of the light lumens....I am using high intensity LED's in my grow and these bastards are growing faster than with my HPS....guess what I can keep 'em closer to the plant as well....go to HTGsupply.com....click on grow lights LEd's look for the 50W panel...it rocks....bottom line!! I have a 600WHPS and two of these panels and it's like I am growing with well over a 1000W.

2 DAYS AGO, I ORDERED A MH/SP LIGHT... AND I GOT TOOK IT BACK WHEN I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE UFO... AND ORDERED IT OFF OF HTGsupply.com . I Asked the guy at my hydroponic shop, who i feel was fairly well knowledgeable and he said, they havent invested in them yet for sell out of there store, because they just arnt proven enough , and for most people that need a large area these lights are Unpracticle, however, im only starting 1-3 plants on a 3x3 hydroponic table, and he said that would work great for you, the light only uses 90 watts, its undetecable by helicopter infared....cools itself... doesnt even need a reflector. And its perfect for an area that cant get ventilation like a closet... it uses low electricity, and low heat and plugs right into a wall socket with no balast. honestly i just set up my hydroponic table and will be growing with this light, now the bottom line is this type of lense is being used by nasa to grow plants in space. I believe that within 5 years, all other lights will be a thing of the past.

from all the different grows on various sites ive watched and read all using the ufo ive come to the conclusion that the ufo is good as a suplementry light but no good for your main light , the buds it produces are airy and light . leds are getting better and better but there not quite there yet . i wouldnt waste my money on that ufo .buy yourself a hps for a third of the price and spend the saved money on decent ventalation and odour controll or look into the 250w envirolites .

I've seen pictures of LED grows, the buds are usually small and fluffy..

Why spend $200 dollars on a UFO LED light when you can buy a HPS and it'll do the job better?

It really will do the job better.

LEDs may be good in the future, but they are not good now..

Guys forums are sick theres so much shit to browse through i cant even find any other threads about the ufo . but i just had to post again because im my super excitement about the ufo.... i really believe this is perfect for an area that you cant ventilate, and for 3 plants for personal at most. just simply because the width of the light but im sure there going to have a bigger ufo soon but really its just perfect already for a small area.... i mean this thing is just amazing... its ready for full cycle plant growth... so u dont need to worry about converting your old MH to SP... it cools itself... so you dont even have to ventilate, if you put this thing in a grow tent , with a carbon filtered grow tent, which is what i am doing. your set.... i mean this thing is designed for photosynthesis, MH SUCK! Sure it was a revolution but theres a new era evolving and i think anyone refuting me is strictly defending there old try and true'd systems , which were to a revolution but a new time is upon us and if your just starting out, like me i think were lucky to have not invested in anything else first, what else can i say? im telling you nasa doesnt mess around, if these lights are out of them, i bet this ufo would grow 2 plants , really out of this world.

Time to weigh in, not only as a greenhouse person but also as a photographer.

LUMENS MEAN NOTHING. Lumens is a measurement of human sensitivity to GREEN LIGHT. Guess what spectrum plants do not use? Green.

Therefore, saying anything about growing plants and lumens is wrong. You look for the amount of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR,) and if you're dealing with a focused color (such as the case with LEDs) you go by foot candles as a measurement of light intensity.

Now, as far as growing with LEDs goes - you can do it. But canopy penetration is non-existent because of the focused wavelength of light being absorbed very easily by the canopy. LEDs are best for growing stuff like lowyders and shorter plants (I use LEDs for growing Thyme and Thai Basil.)

If you want anything BUSHY, LEDs are not what you want to use.

That being said - if you're going to do an LED grow - you're FAR better off learning how to wire an array yourself, then buying a whole mess of 5-watt LED bulbs from Lumilux and making the setup yourself. The bulbs "professional LED lights" use are weak. I have more powerful LEDs in my laptop.

LEDs are good now - just don't buy into "professionally made" grow lights. Each of those "grow light" LEDs is like 1.5-2 watts MAXIMUM. That's too weak. I have more powerful ones in my laptop!

Lumilux is the way to go with LEDs - just buy a bunch and wire up your own panel, don't bother with pre-assembled kits.

runbluff , i dont use hps myself i use envirolites , im all for new ways of growing but these ufo will not grow you ,decent bud , go take a look on icmag theres a guy on there who is very well respected and he was telling everyone how good these ufos were , he was wrong , he did a side by side test using a ufo on ONE plant and a 250w hps on another plant , the hps left it standing , the plant the ufo grew was stretched skinny and the buds were shit , the hps grew amazing thick buds .
thats just one example.
my own opinion would be not to use this as a main light and its so expensive its not worth using as a suplementry light .
but please prove me wrong and grow some big thick juicy buds with a ufo , i would really be happy to see good results from leds .

I actually just ordered a small panel too to throw in with my cfl's. Hoping it does something good for em :)

the UFO started it all, but wasnt quite what we all needed. but no worries because the American made LED is already here LED Grow Lights - LightBlaze 400
square in shape , i think this light will be alot better because it can have more light per square inch on the whole base of the plant, which is gonna produce wider stalks, we are so close!!!!!!! the lights out of stock but, as soon as it comes in ill be sure to pick one up!
