I´m choosing new lights for my grow, and I´m defo going with LEDs, even though lots of people dont like them, but the technology is changing very rapidly...
I mean just a few years back everyone thought its nonsense to use it for growing, cos of the low 1W chips that had really bad light penetration, but now most lights have a quality 3W chips and since 2013 even 5W LED chips... I really like to see some comparison between these two from somebody who knows what hes saying. Mabye even a recommendation of some products.
I really believe LEDs are the future of growing, since the electricity savings are about 2/3 from classic HID lamps which use most of the energy to produce light spectrums not even used for photosythesis and for heat which only causes problems in a grow room.
Oh yeah and one last thing... i found a website where people can buy anything really cheap straight from the manufacturers in China, http://www.alibaba.com/trade/search?fsb=y&IndexArea=product_en&CatId=&SearchText=led+grow+light+5w the prices there are way lower then buying it from a middle man distributor. I´d pay about 300 dollars instead of about 1000. Lemme please know what do you think about all this, Thx a lot
