This ebay guy sounds really good. This is what he had to say. I like how he is not makinf outrageous claims and not trying to push stuff on me. Would be a grand for the veg and flower lights so not a bad price either. Ive asked him for the exact specs of what i would need. It sounds promising.
I had the lights tested by 3 counties hydroponics. They are the largest grow shop chain in the UK and they dont currently sell led lights due to their poor performance (and lousy quality). They tested from seeds and clones over a 6 month period. If I can get the manufacturing sorted they will be stocking them in the new year as they were very impressed with the results, they stated that my lights were light years ahead of anything else on the market. If you are interested in using leds why not try 1 light and do a small grow? Quality is better than HID (everyone who sampled the results of my tests REALLY liked it) and has a better taste, I think because with HID lights the plants have to draw up huge amounts of water (and therefore nutrients) to stop from drying out, which causes nutrient buildup in the plant. This is not the case with leds. Flowering time is pretty much the same (due to 1/3 of the red leds being 660Nm, the same mix as in late summer sunlight) and yeild is the same or very close. In thier tests 3 counties) they got about 90% of the yield of HID. I got the seed suppliers/breeders expected weight from my trials.
Lets put it this way, I use my lights, not HID. I am also very serious about these lights, I am currently working on a light for a enthusiast of rare carniverous plants which precisely reproduces the light at the equator at an altitude of 2km up a mountain!
If you interested try one light, you will get to see its performance over both the vegging and flowering phases and be able to decide whether to use leds for one or both phases.
Sounds promising
