just an fyi, LEDs use little energy have low heat bc they light output is SO SMALL. if you had the same amount of wattage going to the LEDs at other lights, they would be just as hot.
That is pure speculation on your part, and it is wrong.
i
dont want to convince anyone of anything. im just trying to share some insight that the technology is not there yet...esp. if you consider the high costs. again, the reason why they seem so economical is bc the light output is very small. try to find a seller that lists the lumen output...you would be hard pressed to find this info bc it's very small.
If you didn't want to convince anyone you wouldn't have said it, be real. I wasn't trying to convince any one of anything either, I just wanted to 'prove' I could get the same yield from a T-5 4'-8 bulb fixture as you would get with a 600watt hid light. It only uses 440watts and only produces 40,000 cooler lumens and cost about the same to buy, initiallly. I didn't have to buy a cool tube or a fan for it cause its so weak? It doesn't have a seperate hot ballast to deal with, runs both red and blue lights in the same fixture so you don't need seperate lights for grow and bloom, and my yield from 12 plants was a little over 18 oz dry weight. But I wasn't trying to convince anybody of anything. Yeah right, I was just trying to save them money by giving 'good information'. Not to mention the logistic comparison, which allows you about a foot and a half more 'grow height'.
If led's are so week I wonder why all of Hollywood is using them for lights. I have seen information about computer controls for Leds that cost thousands and that is just to turn them on. How many hid flashlights have you seen? Why are they being used for warehouse lights instead of hid's. 25% brighter, less energy. You really need to do some research before making statements like this. We would the light industry spend the time and money developing something that doesn't work and costs too much?? VV
PS. aaaamen, aaammen, aaammen,ammen, amen.!!
