Anyone switch from 1000 watt hps to LED yet?

[cliffcliff]

first of all why would you want to pay five times more for the light then you have two. a 1000w hps runs the same electric as a 1000w led. think about it. if your cant afford to cool your room then you def cant afford those lights because thats the money you would be saving(just the power of the cooling system. the power company charges by the kilawot hour(1000w per hour) at about .29 cent on a huge sliding scale. they cant tell if it hps led a hair dryer washing machine etc.

now lets talk about all high times has to say is its controversial and no clear results. do you real think high times is going to right an article about how much they suck when thes at least 5 full page adversments on led. call them up and find out how much a hole page is. i bet about 10,000. they also sell enxite and penis enlargers and inlargment pills in there.

i might not be able to spell but i know the posts that are telling you leds are good are also selling them."come check out my web site) if i had to guess there using time laps photos. thats how they make robot chicken my advise dont get them. stick to what works

If your resource for reliable info is a for profit recurring publication, i pity you.

PS, They also endorsed the aerogarden as a product of the year.

Another uninformed first poster...

If you read even a little about them, you don't need exact same wattages...LED's, the difference is that you save on power consumption, because you only use the light wavelengths that the plant uses. That means that 1000w HPS puts out the same amount of usable light as 300-400w LED. Same thing goes for lumens from what I've been reading, LEDs don't follow the 5000lm/sq ft rule.

Now I haven't used any yet, but by this weekend I should have some to try out. I find the investment to be about the same, actually a little less in my case, because of savings on cooling/ventilation! To cool my closet I no longer need a $200+ inline fan/blower and can use a $25 duct booster from Home Depot. That even makes using CO2 more in my reach...

And how come you can't notice the FACT that the bulbs last 10+ years(12hrs a day) as opposed to HPS lasting what, 6 months? Think about the savings on bulb replacements...

This may be the single best thing i have ever read. Time lapse photography, what a gem:thumbsup:You figured all the LED supporters out, everyone gets together and shares their trick photography techniques to dupe you into believing LED's work.

Now what are we gonna do?

ok cliff just becasue you read High Times makes you the authority????

i have no website and i am paid by nobody but the dividends from my retirement account and Im 45 yrs old....i own my 3200 sq foot home free and clear...hmmm i guess i'm pretty stoopid then....i was injured with a spinal cord injury and am in great pain so i have no benchmark of how good it has made my meds or the difference????

you're nothing more than a troll trying to stir shit....you sign up to make one post and attack people because they answer a question....you think i spent 5x what HPS cost...if i did that do you think i would have the assets i do...come on!

get a life and go bother someone else because everyone here knows my grows are for real...how the hell can i manipulate things...i am in a fucking wheelchair for God's sake...you try doing what i do from a chair! then post your grows! :wtf:

LMAO.

Look who never went to college and learned optical physics or took plant biology.

Get a degree, then you can talk.

weezard...you made me laugh! Your pics are so beautiful!

stra8....we all know you are legit...fuck the haters! Don't even get fired up...your knowledge has been welcomed by all here...:thumbsup:

...and to the douchy 1-poster....educate yourself a little before you open your mouth. You are trashing people who have been growing since before you were thought of (I'm assuming you are about 16 with that dumbass attitude). Some of us love this hobby and are very willing to try to look outside the box and find better options. LED's are here to stay....I'm in on this train and I can't wait to see the first ride! My first LED log coming soon! :jointsmile:

Iry....I think your top signature is very appropriate to this situation! haha!

I'm starting my new LED grow this week and I need you to give me those trick photography tips!

my bad iry...your 2nd sig...funny shit! :jointsmile:
