Im just saying everything seems to get hyped up and IMO leds work for ME.
Im sure i didnt buy some alien led light that is twice as bright as yours. I bought mine off amazon where u can buy the same light.
I got the most average led and just sharing my led grow. Im not trying to argue
but....thats not proof, thats an anecdote.....
Now proving that your LED, watt for watt is pushing similar HID intensity or greater.....now that is PROOF.....
Glad you liking Led's, but there is at least one of you a week, missing the entire point.....
This is usually what it will boil down to..........and how the scenario's will play out.....
Go google the diff between photometric / radiometric
Ask your LED company about the amount of power radiating from their particular Led's and ask them to provide info
They can't provide info.....well then do you know they are so good....
Because they grow really well, even though I have grown only a few times....but they were kind of expensive...
Ok, found out my LED fixture has the same efficiency as a CFL but cost me 5x the price......
