I guess since nobody's answered, I'll just pop up with my website and a couple of others for you to peruse.
Hydroponic LED grow lights at the highest quality to the lowest prices | Ecogroled (http://www.ecogroled.com) - my site.
http://www.thewoollybully.com/ - another CanCom member's store page, forget the nickname.
Stra8outtaWeed on here has panels as well but I don't remember his page - try to get in contact with him through one of his threads or his Skype/Yahoo.

Im looking into purchasing a LED lamp as well.
Ive found this site to have some of the best prices on lamps. They have 3w diode units for the price of everyone elses 1w diode units. 3w diodes seem to have the best results from what ive seen.

My website - the ecogro one in my above post, has contact information for UK customers - use the provided e-mail.
BTW if the 3w diodes are simply 3-1w emitters in a single package, the regular 1w diodes will perform almost the exact same. The 3w just has slightly better penetration because more power is packed into a smaller space.
I found a supplier of 100w diodes. It sucks they're just a 10x10 array of 1w diodes, though. I was hoping for a single chip. However, the density of those diodes packed into a 30x30mm package makes for incredible penetration.

Might wanna check, haightsolidstate.com
...mention that Sid sent you !
maybe, throw in a question about them going corporate, ( Inc. ) so we can
buy stock in their company, in the very near future !
... Oh, yeah, there's a guy at a Florida University, that is experimenting building his own ! ...but why spend the time, even if one could piece his huge
system together... He's got it spread all over the fooking G-Room !! I mean
wires and lights everywhere... No the madmen over at Haightsolidstate are
the leaders of this shizte for now ! Patterns pending. No joke. They will get the
deal, for these awesome products.
Slanted but not bias,

Haight Solid State.
"Red, blue and white LEDs for a complete full spectrum "
Full spectrum so you can see, not for the plant. White diodes run a tri-band peak from the phosphor coating, red, blue, and green, exactly what LED grow lights are supposed to avoid.
White diodes also fade/degrade faster than monochromatic diodes - monos have no phosphors to degrade alongside the emitter itself. Basically white diodes now have two points of failure instead of one.
"Covers up to 2x2 ft"
Most 90w panels cover 3x3 minimum. Mine certainly do.
"These are the only grow lights currently using this new generation of LEDs - they produce more light, penetrate deeper, and cost less."
If they cost less, why does their panel cost the same as everyone else's?

One more thing to add:
"The LEDs are automotive rated - the toughest rating for semiconductors."
Automotive-rated LEDs are notoriously the LEAST EFFICIENT producers of light. Looked at them, not impressed. Mag-lite has 1w LED flashlights that are brighter than a 6w automative LED.

Hey Str8!
Hope all is well. I just moved to Vietnam, and damn it's pretty warm over here. Wanna start growing again and been thinking about getting your lights, probably just one to start with.
I noticed that it has 630nm red, while I thought that the 660nm is what you want. Am I right?
I'll contact the company to see if it's possible to get the 660 if in fact that's what I should get. :jointsmile:

Welthink can offer you any color of light. I'm working with them to produce panels for growing algae for biofuel production.

Thanks for the reply khyber :thumbsup: I was checking out Ecogroled also but it only said US, Europe and the Middle East. Do you know if they service SE Asia also?

wow...thats some serious neighborhood change from Northern Europe...yes they have the 660nm...mine are only 10% 630nm :thumbsup:

As of this time, I do not know if we would service that area. I can always ask. We'd likely do it depending upon the quantity if we did do it, but given our current situation with major horticultural production companies, we might not have the capability to handle a small export order at this time.
I would highly recommend the WEX panel. It does have superior penetration to mine, mine is meant more for scrog and sog than larger individual plants.

Hehe, you're telling me! Things are just a bit different over here :jointsmile:
So going by this and some interesting info I picked up from Khyber's log, I'm thinking something like 40% 460nm blue, 10% 630nm red, and 50% 660nm red. Hopefully they can fill that kind of order. It'll probably be another month or so before I can really get things rolling with materials and all. Just trying to do more research ATM.
Might even end up doing outdoor grows, but living in the big city makes it difficult. Have to find the right apartment for a balcony/roof garden.

Thanks Khyber. Scrog is what I do anyways, so no problem there. I was also thinking that since the WEX is from China I would be able to save some coin for the shipping (assuming the Ecogrolab's are in the US) I'm only looking to grow a couple plants in a cabinet so it would be a small order, just one unit, probably the 120w.
One thing that I need to figure out is the heat problems. It's about 28-32 degrees here normally, sometimes hotter in the day. Would have to run them at night. I'm thinking of using an AC, just not sure whether an AC in the same room as the cab (intake temps maybe 25ish) would be enough to get the cab temps below 30 (85F), or if I'll need some smaller portable AC in the cab. Any estimates on how much either unit would raise the temps in a cab (3.5 x 1.5 x 7 ft. or something like that...)?
Thanks a lot for help guys, much appreciated! :thumbsup:

It turns out I can help you given certain things. The minimum quantity has been left up to me, so get in touch with me ASAP (I'm online right now through skype and aim/yahoo.)
If I can't help you, again, I know Stra8 can help you.

I neglected to mention cab temps - as long as your outside-cab room temp is around room temp, and you can provide adequate airflow, you should be perfectly fine. AC in the same room as the cabinet would be recommended for control capability. I wouldn't hook it up directly to the cabinet, though.
