Ufo Led lights

if i told you not to waste your money would you listen?
cuz i am going to tell you not to do it!
get yourself a nice 600 or 1000 hps for the same price and grow some really tight budz

the UFO started it all, but wasnt quite what we all needed. but no worries because the American made LED is already here LED Grow Lights - LightBlaze 400
square in shape , i think this light will be alot better because it can have more light per square inch on the whole base of the plant, which is gonna produce wider stalks, we are so close!!!!!!! the lights out of stock but, as soon as it comes in ill be sure to pick one up!

When i see it personally work ill say ok but i doubt it and at 600??
i got a
1000 watt hps with a hood and a hortilux bulb and lumatex ballast for 500.

I wouldn't worry about it too much because here is what I think.

How many people on here are always posting that they can't afford a $100 HPS light ?????

How many people have to think before they buy the $20 HPS light we found ?

How many people do you really think are spending the $600 on a crappy LED light ?

I really think someone who sells LED lights is posting here trying to get their product sold. Every couple hours like Clockwork someone new will show up with 2 posts, it's always 2 posts, and says something like,

"Hi, I'm new here, I'm ready to grow, I just bought a couple LED lights and they are doiing such a good juob I can't believe it, I'll post some questions later"

Pay attention and you'll see what I mean. I've hammered a few of them and they always dissappear after I say stuff about it, and then BAM, someone else with 2 posts shows up in the same 5 minutes.

Watch with me and let's get whoever it is to stop posting crap on our forum !!!!!

Have moderators check the IP addresses of all the posters, I'll bet you find a connection.

Hey everyone, i just found this site a while back, researching the best setup for my new grow room and i know how sick it is first hand on forums and different sites, with different opinions and forum threads swaying off topic and cant really get the answer you want when you want it... for me i had to ... improvise with lighting... i cant ventilate my grow room so thats when i first found out about led's was researching that topic, and like i said the UFO was made in china... its not made that good But the technology is excellent... i found a better light, i posted a few threads up, and i found a few other LED'S on another site... we are so close to being there with LED's that im waiting for the lightblaze to become in stock, even though my hydro table is ready. i actually baught a MH/SD convertor and took it back , not sure if i mentioned that in this thread, just kinda busy atm but i really believe LED's technology as of right now is great for a personals . within a year i bet they will have an LED out thats square in shape, about 4 feet long or something thats gonna grow gardens

just red about how people think im a salesman for the led which is complete bull shit
I am willing to spend the 600 on the LED
and i also baught a carbon filtered grow tent
and i made my own hydroponic resviour, with an aeroponic/dvi type system i set up my self.... i just wanted to go with an LED ... i cant vent the area i have right now... i mean sure everyone is going to argue me saying how much money i spent to get 3 plants but thats all i want... just in the stealthiest way possible... and believe me my setup could be grown ina childrens daycare when im done without no one knowing

I have the GrowUfo and its awesome. 90 watts and its a 8:1 ratio The ledufo is 7:2 The grow ufo is 545.00 I want to compare the 2. If anyone has the ledufo let me know. peace

If there is a non biased party involved, like a mod or something, I'll send someone a 70 watt HPS to try Head to Head against a UFO, so all you UFO lovers lets put it to the test.

Im so glad you took back your good light for a more expensive light that will grow less.

2 DAYS AGO, I ORDERED A MH/SP LIGHT... AND I GOT TOOK IT BACK WHEN I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE UFO... AND ORDERED IT OFF OF HTGsupply.com . I Asked the guy at my hydroponic shop, who i feel was fairly well knowledgeable and he said, they havent invested in them yet for sell out of there store, because they just arnt proven enough , and for most people that need a large area these lights are Unpracticle, however, im only starting 1-3 plants on a 3x3 hydroponic table, and he said that would work great for you, he light only uses 90 watts, its undetecable by helicopter infared....cools itself... doesnt even need a reflector. And its perfect for an area that cant get ventilation like a closet... it uses low electricity, and low heat and plugs right into a wall socket with no balast. honestly i just set up my hydroponic table and will be growing with this light, now the bottom line is this type of lense is being used by nasa to grow plants in space. I believe that within 5 years, all other lights will be a thing of the past.

Ok...The bottom line is that UFOs are far too expensive compared to a light that will work better. That is the acuall BOTTOM line, not that some scientists somewhere are about to discover LEDs that are good for growing fat buds. LEDs are the future, fine, but If you want to get high this century I would call and get your hps back.

they are planning on having a full issue in high times about the UFO and other LED grow lights. If you look in the november issue that is out right now they make some comments about the future of growing and LED lights, but say it might not be there just yet and that they would have a full issue covering options at the beginning of 2009! I say we can trust hight times opinion!

why the hell does every one think they cost 500 or 600 bucks!!!!!
I have not seen them priced this high. 200 or so is typical.

For months I have researching LEDs and have found that the only non-biased research on LED exists with NASA. A 10 year study is ongoing into the use of low voltage LEDs to grow plants and sustain humans in deep space. It will take some time but you can find the research. Basically the research is evolving as the btechnology is developed further. Based on what I have seen the 5 watt LEDs are the best available now and even the excat voltage is still under more investigation as to what is the best formula. However my take on this is from another angle. I agree with you die-hards about the HIDs being the best lighting, currently available, for growing. I must qualify "best" in that phrase because ceratinly "best" is relative. Currently I do not any longer feel it is truely the best due to the long-term and eco-impact of using them. They have an extremely high waste factor in terms of released energy versus plant absorbtion. They use a crap-load of energy and cost us significantly throughout their very limited lifespan and their heat signature is highly illiminating to law-enforcement no matter how much you think you cool them. The cost of producing that energy is where the wall breaks down for me. Today I read that the Artic ice will be gone in 10-20 years in summer months (someplaces will not have seasons, just hot as hell all year round like it is now for us in the south now; 90 FUCKING DEGREES IN OCTOBER). It pisses me off that we are doing this to ourselves. It pisses me off that we have not cared for years and seem to continue not to care today about the urgency of this. So for this I will chase the LED manufacturers into making a reasonabley priced, made in the USA/Canada device that really works. I will not buy or sell goods from China because it hurts the very people they are selling to right now in the US. Questionably made goods with questionable materials, that do not last long converts the hard earned money the "strapped for cash" buyers put down, will have to put down more money to replace the POS, the cheap POS.
So it is easy to bitch about things but most of us do little or nothing about it. Well, I am one of those too. I have done nothing for too long. Recently I have started calling / e-mailing / writing US and Canadian companies to make thier products here and not outsource the shit to China; where we cannot compete in terms of cost of doing business. I am telling them all, that this is their notice that this consumer will not buy another ill made good made in a country that does not allow for the advancement of our society because we cannot feed our families on what they can in China. The manufacturers must know that they are far more at risk than the rest of us and sooner or later their existance depends on quality made goods sold at a sensible price. Greed in buisnees has brought us to the present copnditions but remember that bsuiness depends on us, the consumers, to propel and sustain business. My point in all this is; make sure you see the end of the road on all your money spent. Those funds spent have the biggest impact on this world (socially and enviromentally). Politicians will lie whenever they can; it is up to each of us to make the change..

Good shit. Your so right, I believe its more about the people/countries that dont give 2 shits about the next generations and the ones who want to be greedy. - Very selfish. I mean when you think about it... Why would the older people making alot of money care? They wont be here when the worst comes + why change your polution levels etc if they are going to make less of a profit then they are. The UN needs differing tactics for the 3rd world countries. With that LED's are shit. That is my peace.

I had 2 of the ufo's and 4 50watt panels and now I am back to a digital 1000mh/hps.Tthe led lights on the market today are good for the energy bill and maybe some house plants or small herbs but for what we need it for it is just side lighting. Side by side test with 2 ufo 90 watt with 4 50 watt side lighting vs 1000 hortilux hps in a 5X5 area. The density and size of the buds was noticeable to the naked eye and the over all harvest was more than 1/3 more with the hps and everything doesn't look purple. The 50 watt panels found a home that is using cfl as the main and the ufo's went on ebay a few months back lucky for me they were still a hot item so I didn't lose anything but 1/3 of my harvest but I saved some electricity.

Hitman40

1 90watt ufo + 2 32 watt cfls= see pics. Results speak for themselves. Affordable Tool 630nm used in this test case producing 6 plants with a modest yeild, but considering the energy savings - it'll do it my book - couldn't be more pleased.

the hid hut ufo sucks for veggin. i tried it by itself and my plant would never take off. i changed it out with a 96 watt aqualight and the change was instant. you can see for yourself at the beginning of my thread. i did however put the hidhut ufo back in my growbox that has a 150watt hps to see if it will help flower. so far it shows promise.

its been 5 days since that last post. my flowers are startin to blow up.

Same issues different thread, Look i have one it works great. FAr better than a 150GPS not quite as good as a 400 But almost. Keep it close. DONT PAY 600> Buy the lights from me, I have a good supplier.

I used it for veg and it worked well.

Really???? Must be different model. mine sucks for veg. however i have been using it for a couple weeks flowering mixed with a 150 hps and its doin great!!! in fact the bud directly under the ufo is by far the biggest. i just posted pics comparing two weeks ago and today. huge difference
