thanks again Weez what you say is ringin more and more true. Just cancelled the G8 unit( im sure the correct model wasn't even shipped out yet so the wrong shipping was a blessing). I'll check out those suggested brands and their prices. I found one that looks pretty damn good: TruLite. This guy seems to have really dialed in only the needed wavelengths, 2reds 2blues 1 IR (claimed to increase chlorophyl and flower production). Cant tell ya the exact nm's. But i feel it to be a very efficient and honest product. He rates his units in actual draw too, not nominal.They're modular and can be daisy chained. Also he sourced out led's that are supposed to be more accurate than common suppliers resulting in more efficiency. BUT, I am a handy diy guy and can solder. Makin' my own panels sound very appealing. Always did but didnt know where to start. Sounds like I found the right place and guru. :hippy:

no hurry...feel better
onedog Reviewed by onedog on . new guy wth LED/tent ? Hello. New guy here. Any LED folks here? Just ordered a G8-900w led light. Also gotta 5x5 tent coming. The 900 watter is rated to be sufficient lighting coverage for 25 sq ft. And the equivalent to 1400/1600 HPS. Seem reasonable? I want to determine if I should exchange the 5x5 for a 4x4 if that is a more effective grow space for the 900 watt LED. thanks for any expertise here Rating: 5
