Does the Procyon just plug into the wall?
is there a seperate ballast?
when do you think the price of Procyon's will go down?

But, yes, it plugs into a standard 120V. 60hz. AC wall socket .
No ballast. Has an internal current limit power supply.
As soon as there is stiff competition and the component prices drop.:)
Why wait?
Just build your own, it's eaisier than one would think.

seems difficult @__@Quote:

I just bought one will let you know how it is.
dont waste your money on leds when you want to grow weed..they lack intensity and overall power..your better to go with t5s or the price of that procien..or w/e u call it you can by 3 400 watt hps..i use to sell led grow lights..and for the hobby grower..there not what you want...a waste of money and time..
Whatever led lets see what you get and well compare :-(Quote:

later D:jointsmile:
Procyon 100 emits about 100uE on PAR. If it use the top Cree bins of each color, it could emit up to 200uE (optimistic, and i really doubt they use last bins avalaible).
A 600w HPS emits 1100uE on PAR. Still taking into account optical losses about 25%, still there is more than 800uE avalaible to plants.
Still accounting the enhanced photosynthesis by spectrum, it can perform as 1/3 of a 600w HPS.
So depending on the bins the procyon use, it can perform as a 250w HPS, luckily.
BTW, its not difficult at all doing it yourself.
I wonder if anyone has done a cost benefit analysis of having a procyon vs a 250w HPS then?
over how long, would you be saving your money?
I'll calculate it out later if no one has already
