So I've been looking at picking up some LED panels, but I'm not sure what I'm getting myself into.
I've got one source that has 7 watt Red or blue panels running about $70 each, but on ebay I see stuff that is much cheaper.
Is there a definative source for LED panels?
I'm thinking about just covering my walls in LED panels. Since they last a long time, I'm not worried about the initial investment, but I'm wanting to find the "best deal", rather than overpaying by a crapload.
What's the market like on these, and where is a good source for them?
I see some folks paying $100 or so a pop, and I'm wanting to make sure there isn't a MUCH cheaper source, and I've got a good idea there is, surely someone here must know.
The other thing, are all LEDs created equal? Assuming we just take watts into account, is any given red LED going to be as potent as the next for growing?
I'm worried about getting crappy LEDs sold as "grow lights" but that aren't as good.
So what's the deal on LEDs?
