veggii Reviewed by veggii on 04-06-2008. LED grow lights... input please. Hello guys, I'm exchanging eMails with a representative from a LED company. I asked him if they could produce a custom light for growing, and here's what he told me: Our options are as follow: 940nm, 850nm, 660nm, 630nm, 610nm, 590nm 570nm, 530nm, 510nm, 470nm, 460nm, 400nm and a total of 64 LEDs in the bulb. Rating: 5

Nothing wrong with white in my opinion. Everyone keeps telling me I'm crazy, but white light seems to work pretty well for fluoros and HID. Just as with those, LED's have many different whites. Just make sure you use the right ones for the individual stages of growth.

Opie,
Had the same thought awhile ago, but my testing w/ white LEDs last year was less then stellar. Plus LED whites are not rated like fluros in degrees Kelvin, but rather an x/y plot. Hard to figure which is which.

My solution was to combine Red Cree XR xlamp LEDs with T5 fluros.
I've replaced a 600w HPS with 160w of LED and 198w of T5.
I'm 1/2 way through 2nd try with it and it works great!

I see no reason why the correct warm white LED could not replace the furos.

Oldmac Hi! yes some Leds are rated in kelvin look here:
LedEngin, Inc.
I'm sure one could order a better color temp 2700k/6500k

Hey veggii,

Your right, in the last year we are starting to see Kelvin and terms like "warm" and "cool" white applied to LEDs.

Unfortunately for me the warm whites I picked to use for an experiment did not work well and had me confused......untill I saw the device tested @ the LED museum and saw the spectrograph. A real neg spike at the blue range and min far red. It was makeing most of it white in the orange amber green ranges, not the broad curve of a fluoro.

They have made and will continue to make great improvements in high power LEDs especially the whites that currently have so many applications. Spectral analysis is a must.

Cree, Inc., a leader in LED solid-state lighting components, has announced that Guangzhou Multi-Cell Semiconductor Lighting Technology Co., Ltd. (Multi-Cell) is installing energy-saving, solar-powered streetlights based on Creeâ??s XLamp XR-E power LEDs. Multi-Cell is demonstrating its new XR-E LED-based streetlight product with a 20-light project in Guangzhou, China.

Not spamming here... just thought I'd drop some info... Always figured that when they started replacing street lights with LEDs things would start getting very interesting for growers. GO CREE.

those flow magic inline leds are the same design I made.:wtf:

Hey check this out. i think your right. the bottom seems to serve as the oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange area, and photosynthesis on the top.

I got my Procyon 100 last Monday. I'll post pictures of some of my ladies as soon as I get my kid to get off the bong and take a picture.

[physicsnole]

hey melskid-
is there anyway you can take apart your procyon and take pictures of the circuitry? ive been dying to see it but can not find any resources online about that. i think there it 4 screws that take the two side panels off. then you should be able to get inside. im just trying to get an idea how the procyon has its power management hooked up.:rastasmoke:

Got mine today from fleabay. Took it apart and snapped some pics.. Could not take it all the way apart due to some technical difficulties, meaning the led light circuit board was glued to the aluminum heatsink so could not pry it off and take a look at the back of the board.

Now... Question is where do I put the pics? Do not see where I can include it here.

When I reassembled it did break off one piece but plugged it in and still works. Not sure what the piece was for, maybe a thermostat? Probably can't call them up and say "hey, lookie what I broke, can you fix it?"....

Back on topic.. Very very nice buds SnS.... :rasta:
