I am curious. New member, former grower.

I used to run 3 - 150 watt HPS lights in 2 different cabinets.

Recently I have discovered people on here using the Procyon 100. From what i can see the LED light would be more than sufficient to replace 150 watt HPS lights, but that's not my question.

I realize it's illegal for law enforcement to use FLIR (Forward Looking Infrared) on your home, but there is no doubt in my mind it is probably done. Then the agency can try to come up with some angle to get a search warrant. of course this is just my opinion, paranoia and mistrust with law enforcement.

but the questions are as follows:

1. does anyone know what the signature of a 150 watt HPS light is? does it just look like a TV? i realize it's nothing like a 600 or 1000 watt light, but was always something in the back of my mind when i was growing.

2. what is the difference in the signature of an 100 watt LED light vs. HPS? Due to heat from an HPS light, I would assume the LED light is hardly visible to FLIR.


Does anyone have any information regarding this subject? :thumbsup:
