Whats up rollitup! So how good are these leds? Im looking to upgrade from a 400w mh/hps light system and i wanted to see how you all felt about the led.

that would be a big NAY. your hid lights are far superior to led. you'd have less heat with the leds but i have yet to see anyone demonstrate good yield with them

Nay - never tried them myself, but whenever people mention panels of led's they've seen on ebay everyone says they're not worth it or strong enough...

CFL grow lights are good though - just using a single 125-watt ebay light in my little cupboard now with what is looking like good results!

(I only used 2 20-watt and 1 23-watt spirally CFLs last time and got a q off each plant...not only that but I've been told it was good stuff from people who I've never even met)

Nay, at least for the time being. Shouldn't be long now until LEDs are a serious competitor to HIDs, but at the moment, there's no competition.

Watch this space though. :-P
