hehehe

my test light arrived today!!!

THANK YOU LEDGIRL!!!

i could not contain myself, so i went down and set it up!

i have 5 plants close to being done...i unplugged the 400 watt HPS and moved it up out of the way, and plugged this one in its place.

took some more pix:

when these finish, i will start my test thread separately.

i am not trying to mislead anyone, the above posted plants were flowered under 400 watts of HPS.

please don't start any BS here.

thank you.

how many watts do the fans use?? those things gotta be runing some sort of energy right?

LEDGirl · 11-18-2009, 05:52 AM

3W each x 6 = 18W + 126W LED = 144W Total Power. 1.2-1.5 amp total draw.

This I will be following. I'm looking to upgrade a cab and will be putting in cfl's...but I have always wanted to try LED....and I think this upgrade might also prepare for something like this to be added just after the FatMan Rides Again!.

When you do start a thread with these things, could you please give some info and opinions on hanging/mounting/clearance space etc...or @ least enough info that we may [argue

] discuss it between ourselves...

Does it have much of a 'burn in' smell? Is there a 'burn in' time upon first startup? Is the light immediate or does it have to 'build' like bulb lights?
I am startled by the difference in flower and foliage colour under the LED lamp. The difference is disconcerting @first. But Way Cool

Is there a UV option or addition available?

These are just some of the many questions that fill me @the moment.

I look forward to your grows...good times, good buds & good luck.

Awesome! I'm subscribed. Are those clones that you are flowering now? If so, could you compare that same plant you have grown before under the HPS with these. I'm interested to see if LEDs enhance potency and/or flavor and aroma.

The units are 3.5" thick, and need 2" of air space above them for the fans to operate well. Hanging/Mounting can be done in any position, even up-side-down. I recommend to use the units at 6-12" from your canopy, and obviously the closer the better. The lights will naturally grow short and bushy plants, but if you want a stretch, simply use it at 9-12" above them.

No burn-in smell, no build times. Flip the switch, and within 2 seconds you have 100% intensity. The color difference in photographs is different than what you see with your eyes. When inside the garden, your plants will still appear a beautiful green color to you.

No, we don't offer UV currently. Many companies sell the gimmick of UV in their lights, using 390-420nm LED's. While it is true that this is UV in range, it doesn't have any positive effect on MJ. MJ needs 285-315nm UV, which costs about $90 per 1W LED!!! So for now if you want UV supplementation, I'd recommend a cheap $10 one from a number of online retailers.

Watt for Watt, our LED's will destroy a HPS. A HPS doesn't have anywhere near the amount of photosynthetically active light that our units do, even at 2x the watts.
