The part that makes it difficult for me is the amount of fixtures needed and the small light footprint.
My plant canopy of about 8x12 would require 24+ led fixtures.
I like the technology but I'm in no mood to be maneuvering 24+ light fixtures around my plants.
Maybe someday they will make some large fixtures to cut the crazy numbers down.

Yup. Gotta love it! Funny thing is, I'm only supplying about half the micromoles per square meter that would cause marijuana to reach the saturation point, meaning you could pack even more wattage into that area if you really wanted to! In another month or so, I may do just that with some side 63W units Maybe get up to 2kw LED?Am I understanding you correctly that you are running 1512watts of leds (the equiv of 4800w hid) in a 5'x6' area?
Guy's I'm excited about this thing,it puts out NO HEAT NUN NOTTA and if it's even close to a 400 and last for 6-10 years fug man make'em bigger
^ that thread is from 2007 and LED has moved on quite a lot by then.
Here is a link to a youtube video comparing 90w with 400w HPS.

This is done on July 2009 so the LED they used should be pretty decent.
So is the 630 1 watt , the same ones Ledgirl uses?
Ledgirl if your around can you chime in are they the same or are yours even better ?
They don't make zero heat, the light itself simply doesn't carry a whole lot. HID's operate at 450-650 degrees F, while our LED's operate at 105 degrees. We added IR to give the plants the necessary heat they need for development, and in my own room, the temp never falls below 80 when the lights are on. What I've heard back from most customers, is that it keeps their space at a very nice 80-85 degrees.
yea but they sell the lights^ that thread is from 2007 and LED has moved on quite a lot by then.
