[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]If you had a room with 4,000 watts of LED panels, I think you would still need to cool the room. I'd like to see comparisons with how many watts a 4,000 watt HPS grow would use compared to a 4,000 watt LED grow.[/FONT]
Then they say that this 650 watt light is better than 1,000 watt HPS but if you look in Lush Lightings thread, they talk about the yield being less than 2 pounds but with a 1,000 watt HPS you're getting 2+ pounds. Why not compare 650 watt LED light to a 600 HPS light and do a easy side by side in 2 4'x4' tents to end this once and for all. If the lights are so great, why doesn't Lush Lighting have pictures of these types of tests? Surely a company would run these types of tests which would also sell many lights if there claims were right. Every test that I've seen comparing LED to HPS was done very poorly with light contamination. I got plenty of HPS lights and would easily do a side by side in 2 x 4x4 rooms if given the opportunity. I'm not knocking this company or LED technology. Again I hope these lights are the real deal. I'd love to have a room filled with LED's if they were that good.
Hi, Snype,
I agree with you that 4000w of LED would totally need some venting and AC. The light is still intense. But the units themselves stay cool to the touch. As for 4000w of HPS and 4000w of LED in the same room, you wouldn't need 4000w of LED to get the same yield. Our 435w unit can compare to 1000w of HPS. So, at 4000w of HPS, you'd only need 1740w of LED to get the same yield and save energy. You'd need 9.2 Dominator 2x LED lights to make up 4000w. Now, the Dominator 2xxl is the 650w light, which is 50% more light (2 more rows) so it's comparable about 1200w of HPS realistically. So, our 650w LED is not going to be fair to test against a 600w HPS if it's designed to compete with the 1000w HPS. I'll have to check if we've had a good test grow done like that. We have quite a few tests and grow journals done, just not on here. Now that we're opening the Lush retail store by Oct. 29, we'll have room to take videos and show tests, etc. We're getting there
