You help would be great ::thumbsup::hippy:

50 p. per Watt is a very tempting price.
I'd like to see an experiment using them.
I do have some doubts based on their wavelength.

But there's some who think they are a missing link.

If you add them, and outgrow a bi-color lamp with the same cost of operation, we all learned something good.
Even if there's no change at all, we all learned something.

Got any specs on those leds?
Would you be into logging a grow with them?
I'd subscribe and hang out on da porch for dat.

Their time is now :) Yes I've seen the extraordinarily overpriced products being offered by businesses. Not worth the money if you can use a soldering kit, imo. I can solder, but I'm no engineer, so, I'm asking for help in creating a circuit design that balances low cost, simplicity of construction and high efficiency.
