Well, this thread isnt been sucessfull. My only purpose when i started it was to help poeple wanting to develop thrier own LED lights.

I noticed there was here some people who want to do it the right way, and thats why i posted some info. Im lighting designer (meaning i work on it every day), i talk often with LED companies distributors and still sometimes with developers. I have a first hand experience in this field and i ve been researching from years ago about LED grow lights.

So i thought (wrong) i could help guiding others by giving them the tools and basic knowledge aswell as informing them of ways that has been proven wrong.

I use same nick on all boards, anybody may do a search and check that. For me is very sad that some "smart" people took the early research a group of growers did at the Overgrow boards and use it to do LED grow lights that simply dont work because they are based on biased premises and wrong research.

But its still sadder than people trust on obvious biased and false info from LED sellers that are mostly marketing hype than on people who provides the scientific facts and the tools to check them by yourself.

But i realized its not my problem. If people want to waste their money is their problem, not mine. Ive already posted on the net the info needed to avoid it. I cant do more than that.

From now on, i give up giving free reliable info about LED products. Im going to concentrate on earn money. Ill develop my lamps based on what i learned on the MJ boards: people prefer a reasonable and appealing lie than a hard truth.

It has been a nice social experiment, from what i learned a lot of the right way of marketing. Product quality dont matter on the industry for stoners. I already knew it for nutes products, but i thought that the strong impact of light efficacy should be evident. It isnt. People prefer to believe what they want to believe, still when real world clearly clearly points up its wrong. Selective blindness is the strongest power on the MJ boards.

BTW, this way i dont waste my time trying to write understable enough on a lenguage that isnt mine.
knna Reviewed by knna on . Building LED lights from facts, no theories I was going to post this at the Perfect LED Grow Light thread, but as some of what im going to post was posted 2 years ago on the stickied thread about LEDs and people still continue developing lights from wrong ideas, i think a thread about this topic is largelly needed. The main problem is related to efficacy of spectrums. When the firsts LED experiments at Overgrow, we work on the hypothesis that blue and red light are more effective. It was an appealing hypothesis that promises large Rating: 5
