No uv? no IR... than your missing out my friend... I have posted studies that prove BOTH of these spectrums play a LARGE part of plant development. ill beta test your led vs my T5...In addition to the benefits of solid state lighting (dramatically reduced energy use, exact spectral wavelengths matched to the absorption maxima of chlorophyll a and b, no UV, no IR, our lights are straight DC so there is no flicker that disturbs the chloroplast orientation, and no heat directed at the plants, so less water is lost through transpiration) you can control the wavelengths individually to promote foliar growth or to induce budding. We now have a large database of the optimal timing of light, spectral composition for each stage of growth, and it is all controlled via microprocessor in the power distribution box, and modifiable by a user interface that runs on your linux/wintel/mac/iPhone/Android. Call or email if you have questions or wish to be a beta tester. http//www.cyberbiota.com

yes leds are great for low power grows... they still produce a great deal of heat and have the problem of being a single point of light...Inverse Square law applies to tiny LED's too.LED is just too young to be used for production use...by the time led is mature it will be over and plasma will win...
