Anyone ever heard of these or tried them out. here is what their site claims:

Beginning with the proven efficiencies of low wattage and high output EFDL technology, Inda-Gro lamps combine a blend of rare earth phosphors to supply the proper spectrums of our plants overall lighting needs.
Pro 400 Series
  • Saves up to 70% in electrical loads.
  • Emits 95% PAR usable light.
  • Excellent canopy penetration.
  • Faster rooting of clones and seedlings
  • Long life lamps and drivers.
  • *60,000 hour 10 year warranty.
  • Highest lumens per watt of any lamp manufactured.
  • Single lamp for vegetative through flowering stages.
  • Low operating temperatures require no added ventilation.
  • Fewer plant diseases related to higher temperature lamps.
  • Fully assembled, tested & wired to plug in to a standard 120 volt outlet.
  • Four Pro 400 Series will run on a single dedicated 120 volt 20 amp circuit.
  • 30 day return policy less shipping and handling
  • World wide next day shipping of all stock items

yes, best for low plant density or short sea of green. simply awesome for veg and bloom seems to be really enjoying it too in my tent. biggest positive is I sold my portable AC unit and save lots in energy each month.

I just bought an Inda-Gro Pro 420, that I will be setting up later this week. Looking forward to sharing info as soon as I start.

Any updates from anyone?

Your plants look very happy, I'm a proud owner of an Apach Tech 120W Red:Blue LED unit, cost was approx 1K. It delivers enough umols of PAR at a reasonable height to provide PAR at and above the light saturation point for a square meter. My plants were rich with trichomes, and the leaves lush green and healthy without heat stress. Your plants look qualitatively similar in the trichome arena. I am not a Ludite, so this makes me wonder at the same height and distance what the PAR reading off these plasma lamps is, and makes me wonder which would be more successful in a head to head grow at the same wattage. I hope someone will do a comparison like this with the means to answer this question, if the plasma is more efficient and more affordable, at the time of lamp replacement (a few years at least) I would be all for replacing LED for Plasma, or even OLED or whatever other emerging technology provides the plants with the photons they need.

So you and others are aware, if you're able to get PAR readings off this or other plasma induction lights, there is a video on youtube featuring the AT 120W, and its par reading including the height data, you could use that to give us some kind of comparison. Until this is experimented with we will all be in the dark as to which is currently the most cost efficient and productive of the two emerging technologies.

Thanks for the thread, glad to learn something new. :)

There are some PAR reading video on youtube for inda grow ... Looks really promising... Dont u agree?

I've been through led, hps, cfl, and so on. I'm overly satisfied with my Inda-Gro pro 420 PAR. I recommend it over the 200 watt model if your room is over 12ft². The only thing I do is change the timer to 12/12. No changing bulbs, no moving stuff around. Simple, efficient and produces phenomenal results. Just my experience. Happy growing

I realize this thread is a bit old however I thought I would throw my 2 cents in. I my self was lookking in to buying some of these lights and did some research and found all the companys in the united states to be extremely expensive.looking around I was able to find this now I know this is in bulk but this site has single orders aswell. http://m.aliexpress.com/item/1636899053.html. I ended up buying a 2700k 200watt lamp and put it to the test on an auto bubblicious Strain. Plant was about a foot and a half tall after throwing the new light on her I saw healthier growth in about 2 maybe 3 days. I ended up getting just under 4 ounces dry.smoke was pretty good sry I dont Have pictures I'm not in a legal state.

Do you think there is a quality difference between the company you linked and the US companies?
