They suck and have a lot of development necessary to become efficient grow lights, thats the general opinion Ive heard. If you want something cool and bright that you can use in compact spaces, go with t5 flouros.

I've had so many people tell me how they are gonna smoke my grows with these new lights and they get them and then I never hear from them again.

i dont know. they are coming a LONG way in LED. you can buy them at many brightnesses, wavelengths etc.....and they use WAY less power/little heat. i think they are very promising...i say test some out. check out some led retailers they often have lots of cool shit....i looked into it but i really cant figure out how to wire the god damn things... aside from their weird wiring (and i read some weird shit about them switching ac/dc or something...i forget how that worked) i think they have a very promising future. they are suing them in street lamps now....they keep up the distance almost as good as MH/HPS that are used...but they are far more directional (which can be good!)

im willing to admit that they have potential... still cant see how they will ever get over the light penetration issue... im quite sure that LED's will only ever be good for SOG grows...

I had a look at them at a trade show earlier in the year. Even the guy selling them said they where just supplemental lights at the minuet but would be worth it in 5-7 years time.
Here is a link to some DIY LED lights http://72.41.167.25/subpage2.html

I found some streetlight reds at a very reasonable price The girl selling them said they will dry out seedlings pretty quick.
I have always started seedlings using regular flouros anyway so that wont be a problem.
The thing is the wattage produced is in the exact spectrum range you need.
A HPS isnt as exact as a LED in the spectrum range so you wouldnt need mega watts anyway
They have 678 led`s per light at 12" diameter I am gonna try them out, I am not gonna be growing more than 2 plants at a time. If the results start sucking i have a brand new 400 watt HPS setup for a backup anyway

Set em both up side by side. Do a test.
My money is on the HID 
But I do know something that can beat HIDs 
and it's right outside all the time.
