I have read a lot of this post and decided that I would put in my 2 cents. I originally bought the 45-Watt Panel LED and my seedlings lasted about 2 days and then wilted. I then went and bought the 100-Watt version using cree LED's and have had great success. My light is about 15 inches from my plants in a bubbleponics system and they are doing great. Based on my experience LED's do work but they are not as effective as HID's in spreading the light. My $600 light only has a big enough footprint to grow about 6 plants. Most people would say this is a waste but it depends on your needs. I needed a light that put of very little heat and LEDS accomplish that. High Times did a comparison a while back with the UFO and HIDS. I may be wrong but I believe it took a week longer on the LEDS but the LED grow produced more resin. Anyways hope this helps.
