Can I get away with using this light?

[cryologist]

I have a plant in flower that has nannered, but I want to finish it anyways. I'd like to veg something else in the meantime. I could use one of my two 100w LED grow lights, but I'd have to take away a light from the flowering plant in order to do so.

So I got to thinking (uh oh), I have an LED video panel I could use. Could this suffice for veg? I have hung it and it seems to be putting out a decent par value (~450 ppfd at 12 inches).

No... I have 2 of these they are good for video shooting, but that's about it...... maybe clones or seedlings.

Just too weak for a decent light footprint... its super narrow. Diodes are kinda crap too for growing. Good light source for photos tho.

EDIT: Good light source for PHOTOGRAPHS, not photoperiods. Just to be clear.

Those panels are probably not meant to be on for so long. Think about using 10w led bulbs if you need to save money.
