LED's in a pc grow case?

Was looking at ways i can upgrade my pc grow box and came across this smaller led light. I was wondering if this would be much better than my 2 27w 5500k blue spectrum light for the lowryder im growing. I would be running the led light on a 24/0 light cycle also. Would this be a worthwhile investment for growing lowryders in a pc case?

no. anymore questions?

Yeah, instead of being a straight up dick, could you explain why?

Haha, I live your avatar. I got a 2 1/2 foot hookah on election day and named it Obonga. Good to know someone else is as creative as I am. Anyway, on topic, it wouldn't hurt to add the lights, but dont replace the cfls with them, use them both iat the same time. A little extra red light cant hurt when you're flowering.

I just worry about room in there, i feel like the led light would be a little too big and i dont feel like the lights i have now are going to be very helpful

I use the PC Grow Box and LED's would not work, Also from 2 CFL's go to 4.

The way i have it set up now i cant get 4 lights in there. Can you take any pictures and show me your setup? I think the power strip i bought was a little too small. If im lucky i could get three in there

Do you think you could just get one CFL of a higher wattage? Like a 100w?

It was worth the money.

I guess i could, i'd have to order it online because i dont think they go that high at home depot or anything. One would be enough?

or you can goto home depot and get the same thing(just not completely horizonal) for less than a dollar

I think you should order the biggest cfl that you can fit in the box, as long as you have good ventilation heat shouldnt be an issue. This is assuming you cant get your hands on a good hps.

Would a 50w hps be worth it? In a pre-made box on a website they have a hydro setup for 2 plants with a 50w hps in it. I wasnt sure if it was worth it because that light seems like it would be pretty small

You can buy 100w metal halides and fixtures for $35 at walmart. go to the security light section. A 50w would not make anything impressive.

My only worry then would be if it fits in my case. My setup has a powerstrip on the top on the side of the case with a socket to bulb adapter then the light. If that doesn't make sense i can take pictures. If you have seen that setup before do you think the metal halide from walmart would fit?
