Why not try to find a volume discount on one type of white LED and see if you can build a stronger white light for the same price as all the fiddly 10-different-wavelength plans? So what if it's a few watts hungrier than the others for the same effect?

I wouldn't mind experimenting with all white LEDs in the future.. (like perhaps one all-white grow vs. a multi-color fixture of the same cost to build) I just won't be posting about it on this forum, most likely. Too much bitch-fighting around here. (not specifically in this thread) If you have any other good places to discuss new LED options, hopefully I'll see you there when the time comes.

Used to be on a forum for some seed bank, that got rolled over into some other larger forum eventually. I don't remember it being quite so bitchy as it is around here.. but hey, it's been years. Anyway, good luck with the LEDs. Rated a bunch of these threads up for ya while I could.
Yo BlueBong;

I really hope you don't leave. I'm new here too, and have been feeling my way around; been readin' more then postin' and have mixed feelings but have hope for the exchange of knowledge.

I was active on an other MJ site, in LED discussions for a few months. Problem was too much of the crap "China" panel questions and such. It seemed everyday more and more people where asking about so-called "LED grow lights" that where shit or someone was humping and spamming some crap porduct. There wound up being more mis-infomation then usable dialogue.

Funny when someone talks about the "perfect" LED light, it really should be a white light. And it should be full spectrum white light....evrything the sun has to offer. But part of the economy of use with LED is the ability to tailor WL nm. Actually the white LED Opie just referenced contains a spectral graph that really shows one LED putting out two nice red/blue spikes. Or check out LedEngin 10w LED in both RGB and RAGB.

Maybe we should start another thread?
Have you done any LED experiments so far Blue?
