On Amazon and Ebay one of the most popular 'LED GROW LIGHTS' is a 225 mini-diode, 14w unit.
Yes, you read correctly.
Each of the 225 diodes has a power of 0.06w.
Or about 14w total
But when you consider that LED's often burn at 50% capacity....
SEVEN WATTS.....???
The customers of these items seem quite pleased.
One guy who wrote a bad review was cyber-lynched by angry buyers.
He had said that 'Red and blue light appears white. The red and blue in this LED are just mini disco lights....'.
This 14w LED is often sold as a PROPAGATOR LIGHT
but, at 7 to 14w actual output, is there any point AT ALL in using one....???
It would be a nice, colourful light to use as a night light in the bedroom of a 7 year old girl
but GROW LIGHT....???
I HAVE SEVERE DOUBTS.
