Hey!. i've read some about the LED lamp called HGL dont know what it means and i've seen write x2 lens aswell and that its a penetrate light so the buds that is covered by a leaf does still get light is that correct or am i on wrong track?.

So i got some questions.

Apollo 6 lamp's - does anyone got experience about them do they have x2 lens if that is what they are called when its penetration with the light.

And what about LEDs that says 8 spectrum's whats the diffrent between that and a lamp that doesn't?

Does anyone know were i can buy HGL lamp's or another brand that still has the x2 lens with penetrate

And i got a Apollo 6 atm 185 watt. Does anyone know what hps or lowenergy A 185 Apollo 6 https://www.cosmicgrowth.ca/Apollo-6-...grow-light.htm comes closest with yeild score?. i mean is it better then a 250w CFL and is it the same as a 250w hps but it cost lesser electricity to run it. or is it ever better then that?

all of you that can help me out!

Is it this style? Not sure if you have seen the latest led panel that I am testing ( check my icmag grow diary link in my sig if wanted ) but I think it is the same style.

Here is a close pic of the lights themselves though but odds are the spectrum is different but still a close pic of the leds. Do you have a pic of your panel as well as when it is on?

It sounds to me like you really should do a lot more research before parting with your money. There is a ton of good information on here about LEDs in general. I think that Verdant Green has a number of journals relating to HGL fixtures, and has been very happy with them. Personally, I find the HGL's business practices repugnant, but to each their own. Good luck.

dont buy HGL, LEd fixtures can be customized from china suppliers. A fancy website and some jacked up prices dont make their leds different from anyone elses. Most of the led's on the market today are made in china, branded, then sold at ridiculous prices. Do some research, and read read read before you pay hundreds if not thousands for a product you don't understand. alibaba.com is usually where most people buy the oem leds. goodluck bud, ive tried with leds, and honestly, its only good for personal smoke (less than 2lbs), if youre into production growing, HID is the way to go, until the cost of led's drop, they arent worth it. goodluck man
