Anyone have experience with LED lights?

You are an absolute idiot. Do you even understand light ratings? Once again i am not comparing the ufo. I'm saying that the best leds what for what will blow your hid away. Do you understand par rating? Led is the highest you can buy. Do you understand spectrum? they are variable. Do you understand that hid loses up to 40 % luminosity before burnout? Do you understand that the 4 inch gap you save from the heat equals exponentially more light? I never claimed i had personal pics of me growing under this light. mine is growing corals. As for what a waste over an aquarium. The corals this led light grows are worth way more than any weed you will ever grow. Here is a pic of the tank with 200 watts on. when 400 watts come on tomorrow i'll repost. If you don't believe that the leds are under there i have no reason to lie. Thats a 310 gallon. without the light its still worth 15000. Yah i know its dirty as hell. just got back from a week away.

you obviously don't know how to grow with hps either seeing as you can't afford the real leds. This grow alone would buy any fixture i want twice. Up your game bud. or lack of buds.lol i should get about 20 o's off this. maybe i'll show you up with a led grow. Either way i love cash. Sit back and smoke another while i cash in. The reason i don't use leds for growing currently is because i actually need the heat. i live in canada. i have gotten emails from this post claiming the reason they didn't post is because none of you know what your talking about. This thread is about to change in the favor of leds after a few more posts and you will be left in the dark with your hps. Get some cash and we'll talk leds.

This is the solaris. you can't afford it so don't ask. 2699 bucks. blow anything you got away. Enjoy the basic spec sheet. I'm looking for more detailed now



Product Description
36 inch 14000K Solaris LED Lighting FixtureMade in the U.S.A.The Solaris is the first LED System designed to replace Metal Halide and Fluorescent lighting for the Aquarium Reef Tanks. It has been in development for over two years. It will change the way Aquarists light their tanks from now and into the future.The current design produces PAR light output levels equal to a 250W MH 20K. It uses 40% less energy than the Metal Halide Fixtures it replaces. The life of the LED`s is 50,000 hours, so it almost eliminates metal halide and fluorescent bulb replacements. All heat is radiated up and away from the tank Therefore, it does not heat the water like Metal Halides or Fluorescents. This eliminates the need for Chillers. The room air conditioner needs to work 1/2 as much since the light fixture produces only half the heat of Metal Halides which saves even more energy over traditional lighting methods.There is a built in microprocessor that controls the Solaris. This not only eliminates timers, but it allows the unit to dim the actinic blue LEDs, white LEDs, Lunar actinic blue LEDs and Lunar White LEDS independently from 0-100%. This dimming capability opens many opportunities. The light can be adjusted from 6.5K to 22K, or anywhere in between, to set the ideal color temperature. Sunrise, Daylight, Cloud Cover, Sunset, and the lunar cycle, can all be set independently.Coral Growth has been outstanding with the new lights. There is excellent water penetration of the light.Supplied with Control Modular and Mounting Feet.

just as i thought no pics to back up any clame, thouse pics proves nothing at all.
yes i know about light spectrum and " intensity" but LED's do not put out enough intensity to grow cannabis as well as hid lamps even it its touching the canopy. I have spent days - weeks reading up on LED's almost every website on the neti was going to get some my self, but my reserch told me not to. the only advantage they have is lower power/heat / faster startup, they do not grow good cannabis they grow other plants very well and also grow cannabis better in veg up untill they start getting to big why is that? thats right nt enough intensity coming out of them and as for flowering they are total pants. the par watts may look good on paper, but they dont look good on the plants!

show me a grow where someone will say WOW look at the plants under that LED! why there is none simple as that. iv seen 100w LED's that have the par rating the same as 400w HID's and they are no where near the size of the plants grown under hids.

the tests iv seen where it as out grew HID's are on crops such as lettice that grows about 6" high and as i have said iv have seen the grow cannabis better when the plants are under a foot tall, but for flower forget it.

p.s
if they were that good why dont some cannabis growers use them? I mean some growers make $$$$$$$ a few $$$$ will not brake the bank, but we dont see them because they do not work for buds or tomatos for that matter under LED's they grow about the size of a golf ball you have a look at tomatos grown under HIDs they are the size of apples. you just want to belive that you have spent your $$$$ on the best, but the truth is you have been done big time who ever sold you them have had your pants down and having a good laugh all the way to the bank.

The corals this led light grows are worth way more than any weed you will ever grow

now you just look stupid rolf

you jump all over the place looking to get the point. The reason you couldn't find the led light you want is because there is only 2 companies in the world making these leds. Like i've said a million times only CREE or Luxion are superior to hid right now. a 1000 watt hps bulb is about 12 inches long by 2 inches wide. The surface area producing light of a certain amout is the same as crees leds. 1000 watts of leds has the same surface area as an hps bulb with all other ratings higher. = more penetration. you lose at least 30 % of the light from hps because of walls reflector cooltube etc. It is common sense that there aren't many grows yet. its the price. not lack of performance. Isn't that common sense? If money wasn't an issue we would all be using leds. plus like i said i may buy a led fixture and make you eat your words.

LOL you call that a grow? my clone room is bigger than that.


3 weeks veg from seed then in to flower around 5- 6 weeks in






3 weeks veg from seed then in to flower

Sensi supper skunk 3 days veg from cuttings then in to flower day 38 flowering (look at the 1 in the center falling over because its so heavy). be off with you and your LED's ROLF PMSL

Show me the money!!! You have all that and can't spare 3 grand. come on now. i'm not stupid. either thats your amazing garden or its someone elses. Your telling people out of what 10 pounds that garden will prob produce you can't spare 3 grand. Buy the light in that pic i showed and if it doesn't perform i'll pay for it. Money should not be an issue for you with that garden. I aint rich but the 10 ounces i get every 45 days doesn't make me poor. Buy the light. If its your garden its nice though. good luck with it. i also never said hps couldn't grow.

sorry for the idiot post its a lowpoint in my posting life.

thay are all mine i do not want LED's i was looking in to them, but the only good thing they are use to me are for cloning No LED will grow buds that fat and heavy after so little veg time and in 5L pots of soil. I dont have any of my old NFT grow where i was smashing the GPW from a 600w HPS i was hitting 750g per table and lost a lot of grams to rot. Ill be doing another NFT soon iv been in dirt around 5 years now and its starting to get on my tits having to dump it although iv been reusing it for a while now.

untill i see solid prof which i have not then ill stick with my 600's and 1000's untill then.
