How Many of These LED Lights per Plant?

[BoomBiddyBye]

Hey guys, I'm thinking of setting up a "Green eco" grow box outside powered by solar panels... It sounds ridiculous, but i want to give it a shot... How many of these lights:

Would i need for 1 plant? Please don't give me comments like "Just grow indoors" or "it's not going to work". They really don't help...

I would go with at least two per plant until they get big and then add more.

Those are only 2 watts each. (50 watt incandescent light bulb equivalent)

I'd say go with cfls, they're cheaper ;D

i keep checking these LED threads to kind of gauge where the technology is
this looks very expensive to setup a grow with

Dollar per watt, these are some of the most expensive ones. $18.00 for 2 watts, $9 per watt.
For 90 watts worth of these, it'd be over $800.

For less $800, there are some pretty nice LED panels out there.

I'm kinda curious what these would do if used in numbers: http://www.1000bulbs.com/search/?filter[category]=4431&filter[color+temperature]=2750K&filter[lumens+initial]=485

A DIY panel using these, and basic e26 sockets (same used for incandescent bulbs) would be pretty cheap. I might try it just to see what it'll do.

CFL would be much cheaper per watt. Blackstar makes some decent low priced LEDs. Those lights you were looking at are useless for growing.

I have some led panels and they are good but i am not sure about those lights
