I have been running T-5's for years and have recently changed to led shop lights


Sam’s Club
Home Improvement DIY Event
4-foot LED Shoplight
4-foot LED Shoplight
by Lights of America | Item #: 284351 | Model #: 8140SE-WH5SC |
(52) |
Overall Rating:

4.7 out of 5



The lights are $36.87 each.
I'm getting better growth with no heat and the plants can grow into the lights with no burn.....and more than a 50% savings on electricity.
I'm in the process of setting up a new veg room using 11 led's. 4' X 6 1/2' with 2 shelves. I'll post pics when finished.

:peace:

The system I would use includes actinic, UVa, UVb, and reg t5 bulbs 854 watts
for veg you don't need anything more, saves heat and electric.
I believe it was @DCobeen who planted the idea for full spectrum t5 growing in my head.

Dont use uva. I use actinic for 380-420 nm/ coral plus for 460 and 15k/ true blue for 460/ 4100 and 300k for 620 and wavepoint ultra for 660 nm. I think i got it covered. I am gonna buy led's soon. use them together.
