LED grow lights... input please.
my reasoning behind going LED was the total waste of electricity that even my highly efficiently bright wing fluorescent was making (110W), and not forgetting the highly suspiciously orange/yellow glow I'm forced to have emanating from my wardrobe. Lol - Itā??s a nightmare!
IF these LED lights do what they are claiming to do (http://www.solaroasis.com/grow_shop....0Professional), then I'll be willing to convert some pounds to dollars and purchase from the US, but I cant understand why there arenā??t any UK distributors yet.
If I go online looking for good and honest personal reviews by customers about LED grow lights, there arenā??t any, just a lot of speculation - which, although more is always welcome, is no substitute for a real trial.
I'm not going to put these things down right away, because I have studied LED tech and know about what is poss. If these are good/get good enough (which is inevitable really), then all other grow lights will be obsolete, making all those ballasts and other things obsolete too; all those air cooled HIDS and all those range of products will go. It will mean grow projects can happen more out in the open in a house, rather than confind to some sellar, or spare room (in could be in the corner, behing a curtain), because the light the plant absorbs, we humans are not sensitive to (unlike the onslaught of light given off by flouresents and HIDs) and thatā??s why Iā??m really interested!
