Full LED?

What do you guys think of getting these vs a 400 and 600 watt MH/HPS bulb?

Taken from the forum rules>>link

Figure 8 lights, could use 2 and make a couple floros for veg, then use the other 6 for fruiting. Think it would really be as good as ~1600 HPS?

As far as power usage goes, what would you consider a safe amount to stay under?

i would use them for moms and clones maybe but so far no one in any grow forum I have seen has had really great results with them alone. There have been some decent plants grown on them but they take a long time to finish but the KW/gram is better but the weed seems to fluffy. I would maybe hag them from the wall points towards the bottom of the plants at the popcorn maybe but that would be it.


just look at the pic in the ebay add and notice the greenhouse has all hps/MH lamps going in the back.

I have no idea, i'm curious about LED lights though...

How do they hold up power/lumen wise compared to CFL?

Are they really cool as well? (temperature)

grow logs online have shown people have had to add heaters as they are so cool running. Good leds last a long time and only drop a little bit in brightness over time. I don't know the %'s off the top of my head but I did spend enough time researching it before to know not to do it. The things are getting better and someday soon they will be good enough for a whole grow but at this point in time I would use them to light up lower areas and make it so you can space out the HPS lights further tops.

for a little home grow I might be willing to get one or step down from a 600 watt to a 400 then add LED for extra light to make up the difference. It is not worth it to lay out the bucks those things cost as to recoup you cash you will have to wait longer to finish with them if you are going for profit. You might get an extra grow a year in with more grams in the same space with regular HPS

Yeah - really just worried about using so much power it draws attention.

It depends where you live as some areas you can go 10k watts in a house and not really worry just pay your bill but in some places like FL they would report that to the cops without a warrant being requested. If you don't go past 3-4k watts in a 3-4 bedroom house I would not worry at all. Just gear up for a bigger grow in the winter when you need less extra power for A/C and you can keep it all under control.

more people get nailed from narcs and the narcs are usually someone "I thought I could trust"
