led lighting?

I appreciate all the help people,u have been a great help,Thank You

Kyber,u seem to be very knowledgable about let lighting,I know u design ur own but i don't think i'm ready for that,i'm looking for 2...150 or 200 watt let growing lights,what company would u suggest,any help would be appreciated

If you have AIM or Yahoo, contact me - my name on those is the same as here.

this induction lighting seems interesting.

It's interesting, but it puts out a ton of heat. The ballast and the whole process is rather lossy given the external components. It is an OLD technology, and it really hasn't improved much since its inception.

It is much more difficult to work with in a design phase as you're trying to control externally-emitted EMR, and diamagnetic materials of the proper type are somewhat expensive.

I'm curious, which led panels did you try?

It's true that most of the commercial units are crap.

But, I have seen people over-saturate with good LED lights by having them way too close to the crown.
Of course, the plants stopped growing.

They concluded that "leds no work"!
When, actually, it was "pilot error".:D

Food for thought.

Gettin' a bit long in the tooth now, but once I surpassed HPS, and matched Hawaiian sun, I figured I was done.:cool:

I'll go bump it to make easier to find.

Tickled that you are interested.

Aloha

I've had great success for over 2 years now using two Theroreme Innovation's ProBloom 600 LED grow lights. Abt six months ago we purchased 2 more. Currently each pair covers a 4'x4' tray usnig a light rail. Production is equal to or slightly greater with the TI's vs. 1000w HPS over each tray. The trays that had HPS are now using PSMH 1000w 3k bulbs for flower and 10k bulbs for last 2 weeks. Again comparable results, maybe trichomes amber quicker under the PSMH, but not my much.

My homebuilt T5/LED hybred, that I've been using almost 4 years now beats the crap outta 1000w HPS, but I do use a bunch of differant supplemental lights with it.

Yup, LED's don't work. :D
