Supplementing CFL with LED?
Just wondering... I've read poor reviews about LED lights as the main light source, but how about as a supplement? My current cabinet is a Home depot cab that's 25" X 22" X 6' tall, Ihave a fan inside and an average cab temperature of 26 Celsius.
My current CFL is a 200 Watt energy saver in Natural white (45 w equivalent of 200 watts; 4100K, 3000 Lumens) in a hanging fixture with a cone-shaped reflector.
The strain I'm growing is KC-36 which grows about 2 and a half feet tall when grown indoors. I have this hunch that supplementing the CFL with LED fixtures would increase the light while keeping hydor consuption & cabinet temperatures under control.
Good idea? Bad Idea? The lights I speak of contain 168 LED's, generate little heat, consume 13 watts and fit in a standard light socket.Pedro de Pacas Reviewed by Pedro de Pacas on .
