Thanks for the LED report!!!!
Hope to see more of LED technology for both the hobby and for the conservation of global electricity.....
kind regards from guineapig
thanx for the compliment.You'd be suprised at how much grief I've been given over this project.
How ya doin? The set-up breaks down like this; 1)ufo-you need to be certain that it's made with CREE- 1 watt diodes-660nm red, you need those deep reds for flowering. 2) side lighting- check out my pics of my 100% led grow room.You'll see flat panels on three sides of the box, they look like lite-brites, you'll hear people talk trash on those panels but they are invaluable for side lighting purposes. Around the ufo is a bulb fixture holding 7 5w 660nm red bulbs, and one 15 watt multi-spectrum bulb- with 1w diodes.This fixture enabled me to hang the bulbs around the ufo thereby increasing te total footprint of the ufo fixture. 3) white led bulbs-this,I think, is the money-maker.About 15% of the total wattage, in my experience is the ticket. Prices vary, as does quality.But I got2 ufos on e-bay for 400US. And they work fine.Check out China Factory online,you could probably get one for about the same or less. The panels are 45 watters 225 ct- check e-bay auctions also. And come check out the LED LAB 2009 in the micro grow section in the forums. It's alot to digest, but theres a ton of info out there. Google Ledgrow.eu-check itout you'll be glad you did. And I wish you a successful journey. peacecan you give some more description about the light setup please...don't know much about LED...lumens, price or purchase, etc...
I appreciate that- I'd like to see it happen, I would def need help with that-it can make your head spin, the possibilities. There is a wealth of knowledgable folk around here. I think collectively it could be done. Dang, another project in the works. peaceis there a thread on all the specifics of LED lighting? A LED 101 so to say...and if there isn't, hint hint, somebody should post one...
