been hearing that same bs claim for the past 10 yrs. I know of commercial growers buying gavitas by the hundreds, they aren't buying or building garage lights

You have quickly become someone that can't be taken seriously. Most commercial growers know very little about lights, they seem to be as educated on the subject and well... you...

Sorry I should have reread but so let's just clarify. Your saying you get the exact same results when you cut the wattage by 50-60%? So if you run 500 LED COBS and get the same results as a 1000 HID? And yes your right re cost being a huge factor for me. It seems that the same build in Canada is hugely more expensive :(.
I'd say more like 600watts of LED is equal to 100watts HPS. You have to realize that it's about the quality of the parts, a COB or chip of led is like a bulb, you can have a super cheap garbage bulb/cob/diode or you can have super high end. There are VERY few commercial companies using top end LED parts and that's why DIY is around.

Lets say I can build my light for 260$ USD, thats driver, PCB, trim, chord, heatsink and any other little stuff... is that not do able in Canada? If not it sounds like Can'tada! HAhahahahaha =D playing is all.

because it makes you so angry, and that makes me happy. I'm the blood cruising the crip turf.

I don't think you make people angry, it's more like this is a place to learn about LED and how to make the best LED's for growing and you seem like you are against learning anything and enjoy proving you know exceptionally little about the subject.

I'm not trying to insult you as I have never been very active on these boards and so never run into you before. The first time I encounter you it's clear you are way in over your head, either you can't see you are out of your depth or you are proud of your lack of knowledge on the subject matter and your comments then appear to come off as Trolling. So again it's not that you anger people, it's more that this is a place for learning and you seem to be getting more ignorant rather than understanding better what people around you are discussing.

someone's a snitch. said it at the beginning.you pussies can't handle the truth and will just get me locked out.
Buddy you said yourself in this very thread that you were on a timeout presumably imposed by mods. You're a bit of dim light eh..... maybe change the bulb and smarten up.

Oh and thanks for the pm. It made me laugh. You mad bro? Lol

im pretty sure you meant to say 600 watts led is comparable to 1000watts hps..... not 100 lol
