Sorry but I don't know who FERO is ? As for advertising, I have never at anytime mentioned the name of the company, I started this thread to get a feel for what people wanted or felt were being let down by, this is now blatantly obvious to me, over pricing for products being designed from...

Wishing you all the best and merry xmas :-)

Hello there my friend. The prototype/test light is going to get manufactured around about end of January to middle of February, I've almost finalised the specs but just waiting for a Biologist friend to get back to me with some final results on my choice of spectrum's as he has access to lots of...

Did you notice the part about 2 cell layers to measure Photosynthesis ? Now that is the reason why I know all the Led companies haven't done any research at all and they just jumped on the bandwagon. 2 layer cell alga as opposed to a complex leaf structure, haha con merchants !

Very interesting reading here http://www.photobiology.info/Gorton.html Goes all the way fro 1800s to modern techniques of today and answers the questions as to why HID lighting has been so successful.

Glad u mentioned that, actually there will be no glues used. all nuts and bolts and user replaceable parts. Hope this alleviates at least one of your concerns ?

Shame that the others have to give out so much BS init ! Same old story of style over content as usual.

Does anyone know of any LED's that are labelled as true watts drawn ?

The DS 300 from advanced actual power draw is 275watts. I have 2 of the 500watt blackstars and on my watt meter they actually draw 280watts so the blackstars come in at $549 and the advanced DS300 is $795. I know that I would never buy another Blackstar because the build quality is absolutely...

I would be very very interested to see 2 grows one with just led and one with led + UV. No HPS involved. Now that would be good research !

Firstly I am not shipping from the UK. I will be shipping worldwide from Tenerife, where taxes are significantly lower than the rest of Europe (5% VAT). Shipping costs added will still make me very competitive. Secondly I think you will find that even die hard HID fans agree that LED is the best...

I would agree that the diamond series is the best LED out there at the moment !

Yep ! looks like you have your eye on the ball and you're taking in all the correct info. Philips are the leaders and their R&D is second to none. My findings are taking me down a different route to other LED companies and they "sort of echo" Philips findings and I am hoping to take LED grows to...

You have my most sincere promise that you will not be dissapointed. If I do,,, you can return it in full working order in the packaging with a full refund and none of this 20% restocking bullshit ;-)

It sounds as if you are going down the correct route my friend. Hold off and wait ????? Proof as they say "is in the pudding"

I will be starting my grow after the new year, and yes, I will be documenting the grow on a daily basis. On your point of being vague, I really would love to give out all the details of my findings but I hope you can understand that this would not be in my best interests at the moment, I have...

Nice grow. supplementing for me though is defeating the object of moving forward, I want a light that shouldn't need anything extra, it should do what it says on the box without any BS sales pitch :-)

Tnugz, many thanks to you, I have nothing but hope and there are many things that I would like to say but can't, as it would come across arrogant and I am well aware that words do not mean anything without the proof to back them up. For me, this is a big opportunity for a turning point, I have...

Hey Wej, how's it going ? I hope your grow goes better this time around. My grow with the 2 x 500watt blackstars seems to have slowed right down at 30 days. Plenty of buds and looks great on photo but in reality not what I would be hoping for and I know I'd be doing better under HPS. Never mind...

Great idea you have there ! :-) T5 outputs are normally 70 - 104 Lm/watt and as you know shine in all directions hence the need for reflectors so like all traditional light sources they loose efficiency through reflection, but I do like the T5's though. Another advantage of course is the...
