About those LED lights

[BigBlock]

Were talkin red and blue LED's with state of the art technology.

The color of the light has nothing to do with it, the heat output remains the same. Your link does not work.

and they use so much less electricity that they actually end up being quite affordable in the long run

You really need to work on your reading comprehension. LEDs use MORE electricity, they produce LESS light, and they create MORE heat. This is why they are worthless for growing marijuana. Of course the 2 watt LED lights you wasted your money on use less electricity, that's because they put out WAY less light. You could say that 150 watt HPS uses way less electricity than a 1000 watt HPS, but that's just because it's making way, way less light. LEDs are the same. 150 watts of LED will put out MUCH less light than a 150 watt HPS. A 2 watt LED puts out almost no light in comparison with a 150 watt HPS. It does use less electricity, but it won't grow anything either.

LED grow lights are only useful for old ladies trying to grow houseplants in their bedroom. They simply will not work for marijuana which requires TONS of light to produce anything useful.

BigBlock Reviewed by BigBlock on 02-18-2006. About those LED lights I was reading that in order to equal one decent HID light, you need a panel of like 52 LED grow bars. One LED grow bar goes for $150, so that's $7800 vs like $300 for the HID. You do get greater bulb life, but 52 led bars, with three light clusters per bar, is going to take up quite a lot of space, so there's absolutely no real advantage. So don't waste your money on LEDs.
