I found the Lighthouse website. It looks similar to the gotham. http://www.lighthousehydro.com
Also have to thank you guys for sharing this with me. I would have never heard of them without you guys. And now I honestly have to buy one. I'm going to throw it up against my current LED in a side by side battle. Why not right?
________________________________________________________________________
But Also I'm working on side project.
>Buying a 40w LEDengine($60), slapping it on a CPU heatsink($10), and wiring it to an LED driver($50)
I'm still planning it out, but I'm thinking of going with the Warm White.
(Link to the product data sheets: http://www.ledengin.com/ledengin_products-dataLZ.htm )
Warm White:
Coolwhite:
I want to use it as a supplemental between my future blackstar and current UFO.
What do you guys think? Sounds like an afternoon?
I'm looking for Ideas. Even want to know more about ordering a custom LED Panels.

X axis is "nanometers", but yeah, I'm pretty sure 12,000k is way out of bounds. (Edit: I'm not trying to point out what you already know. Not trying to be a d.)According to this graph, 12,000k would be far to the left of useful. Wouldn't it?
The gray line is apparently what a white LED will look like.
Not the same 12,000k. But I'm just trying to figure it all out too. 12,000k sounds ridiculous.
Edit2: I can't find a chart where it isn't cut off. I realized that the 740nm was still in par range, but the charts i kept looking at cut off at 700nm. Heres a quick google:

Searching the net I could not find a 12000K 3W cree. They certainly have a 6000-12000K and I believe a 2800-5500K diode. Also could not find a 5000K. Maybe both of these Cree chips are emitting a rather broad spectrum of "white light" with a good PAR spikes. A true 120000K just does not make sense.
Even tho the light itself doesn't burn the plant the light itself it can be too intensive for the plant and evenutally bleach it out like a photo. A HPS will just burn the plant with IR rather than visible light.
audi024 you should watchout for hydrogrowleds... Overpriced units, and it's run by a maniac.

If we can't find the table. We are now obligated to make one.
(I'll do it, if we can't find it, but later, now is time to go to work.)

I was looking at this one but i know mext to nothing about led lights so any advice would be welcome.

Kessil has superior tech.

That one is predominantly blue, for veg. The panels look ok, I haven't seen this co. before. The only thing I don't like is no mention of who's LEDs they use.
You live in the UK? Free delivery, but they only sell there.
If you are in the UK, consider this guy's light. It has a lot going for it.
If I were you, I'd contact him and discuss LEDs. He seems like a good guy to me.

You can grow some righteous bud with LEDs, as well. Look at Kessil.com, and read the new breed of LED page. Their little lights are amazing.
Thanks again.
This will be my first grow so im gonna use HPS for flowering this time but im really liking the idea of LED's.

Would one of these on there own be enough to veg 4 plants? I will be using the SCROG method so i dont think they will have to get to big.

i wanna go LED too - uses much less electric
i heard 120w LED puts out asmuch lummins as a 400w HID and they dont need a balast and they last like 10 yrs - i seen the 120w dual spectrum about £250
oh and no over heat probs
so yeah i am def interested - these are just what i read from the ads please comment because as we speak i am saving up for 3 of these suckers

I was thinking the blue because i will have 4 plants in a veg chamber and 4 in a flower chamber.

In one of the kessil presentations i viewed on youtube, I remember the speaker saying that they also use off spectrums in small amounts to give the plant trace elements of light.According to this graph, 12,000k would be far to the left of useful. Wouldn't it?
