LED grow lights... input please.
BlueBong;
Little 5mm LED's do work and have applications now. I think they can do things the hi-power LEDs can't...like a shelf that has only 16" clearance. I have a 2'x8' shelf that I use for transplanting my clones or seedlings into RW blocks. I veg them under 5mm panels until they are 8-12". Works just as well as fluro, and I use 198w vs. the 420w fluro.
Plus I made my own 5mm panels heavy on the blue for my clone/seed trays.
BTW: I can not recommend enough IceCap fluro ballast if you like to over-drive tubes.
Holy crap a T5 4' goes to 85watts! AND big plus; opens use of regular T5 bulbs and there is a greater K's to choose. I digressed.
Now to those "eyes". Did you ever make stickies?
A few years back I got a few thosand cheap LED's in multi-colors, alot of reds and blues. I got small magnets and batteries and shipping tape. Gathered up my grandkids who where in HS and about 20 of their friends, and made over 2,700 stickies. Then took them all to town hall and had them sticky the ugly steel sculpture there. Great fun, but got in a shit load of trouble with my daughter, son-in-law, and a bunch of parents.oldmac Reviewed by oldmac on . LED grow lights... input please. Hello guys, I'm exchanging eMails with a representative from a LED company.
