They say that LED lights are really the best form of lighting that any grower can use for indoor growing. But if you do not have a huge hydroponics budget to cover for the equipment expenses, I think it would be more appropriate to use the other ones to save some cost while still being able to grow valuable crops.

This is really too mysterious

This is very interesting to say the least. Just think that at some point not very long ago people thought that growing indoors was not possible and now we have these super efficient sources working. I’d can’t wait to see how far this technology goes.

These just don’t make sense in most environments. If the daylight hours in your area are too short to successfully grow plants indoors near windows, then the outdoor temperature is probably too cold to grow those same plants. The fact that a fluorescent grow light puts out some heat is actually a good thing, because it is creating that heat and light combination with 100% efficiency. This is one of the things that keeps my only 90% efficient furnace from turning on in the winter time.

Don’t waste your money, folks. The 5mm LEDs used in the above products are insufficient for growing. At around 30% efficiency they are actually far less efficient than CFLs.

You will need to use high output LEDs in order to achieve the necessary efficiency (70-80%), and targeted spectrum growing becomes viable.

have a look at www dot greenpinelane dot com and see real LED grow lights being tested by someone who is not trying to sell you anything. No commercial interest, just interest.

I have thought about picking some LED’s up, but they are still prohibitively expensive. The new t-5′s will cover more area with less heat. NASA thinks they have potential, so I am still excited about improvements in the field of LED’s.
