I thought you may be interested in this site in England.
I spoke to them and they say they will make up any panel you wish.

Aloha.

Quite a lot, considering the fact that they are almost useless.
Better off saving up for a light that works, i e UFO, Procyon, DIY, etc.
Just my opinion, based on tests.
:smokin:I could be wrong.

Weezard;

Add to your list of working hi power LED grow lights:

TI Smartlamp pro-bloom. Uses 300 watts and looks like it
will work very well.

Mahalo, O.M.

Unfortunately, I gotta bad case of budget blinders.
DIY is a PIA, but antisocial insecurity sets my limits nowadays.
Just ordered another round of 5Watt Ledengins.
Little at a time.
Too impatient to save up and just smart enough not to use plastic.
Perhaps I should start a thread for the next light, n stop cluttering up other folks threads?
Could call it "Bubba re-invents the wheel," yeah?

Aloha,

Aloha,

TI uses lotsa leds, 150.
I'm trying to spare some money to buy some leds, but it's not bout antisocial security for me, it's the banks... God, never try to buy a house before selling the old one, or you'll get rapped by bank !

Anyway, I got time to read and plan.

One of their lamp (TI) is round 260w consumption, the other more like 300W although one can see 450W on the sticker of the lamp, but I wonder what's the total PAR watts.

I plan staying with 2 to 5W leds, the ones over 10W are too expensive by the lumen, at least for me. But things go fast in technologies. I might have to readjust in a few months.

Take care

The test is definitely in the results for sure.

I have been looking into the couple of leds available for growing and the only two that are even worth looking at are the Procyon 100 and the Smartlamps. The rest are all cheap shit.

Of the two the TI-Smartlamps are the best. They are the most powerful and they are the best at growth and flowering cause they have more than just red and blue leds. I was speaking to a commercial greenhouse guy who says they are the only ones that the commercial growers are using -- tomatos etc so it should be good for other stuff

There is a great little hobby site for growing with LEDs called Experiments with Hydroponics, Aeroponics, and LED Grow Lighting which is worth following for anyone interested.

They just started a tomato test with the Smartlamp which should be interesting to follow. Not sure how many stores sell these lamps yet, but you can always buy them online from the company at growrevolution.com

Thinking about a Procyon 100 here. 100 watts, talked with one of their reps, it does 50k lumens, red and blue with little to no green, covers 10 sq. ft.:smokin:

Hi Eggstout.

I'm sure you've seen SnStealth's Revenge of the LEDs thread.
And his two previous grow logs.?
Worth reading.
The proof is in the budding.

Hey Roborev, welcome to the forum. We'll see about them making any panel I wish. I emailed them and asked for a price on a 50 watt 735nm panel. I imagine it would be several thousand dollars.
