New High Output lights more efficient Then HPS!

[loylty gets u nothing]

im happy with the performance of me HID

unless they provide 1000w buds this new light

ill stick to wat i know, unless ofc its real cheap to run..

thanks for sharing

High ,

Um .. do you mean L.E.D."s when you say LEDS? .. aren't they those diode lights .. they are designed to be weak aren't they , I couldn't grow a clover with that technology ..

, althought 1000 1watt diodes just might do it ..

 

Hmm , given that , I assume I've made a mistake and your not actually talking about LED's

 

Unless these new ones are well priced , long lasting and powerful value .. they prolly won't even get a look in until its proven there is a greater technology proven than the current availables ..

 

But hey , someone fork out and try em .. we are curious ..

 

Heheh , Cheerz anyway

(P.s. L.E.D. tech is great for ultra conservative lighting , but still impractical compared to other options .. (I'm not a sparky tho so ..) .. I like it , but don't use it unless to tell when my electrical equipment is on etc

Interesting article an new technology will be some to look forward to in coming years cuz as luke said i'm yet to see mj related results.

 

Sam what do you mean by 60-1? 100-1 is a long shot and not likely to happen even money or 6/4 on is a sure thing wtf is 60-1

 

You having a dollar each way

Yeah, Light Emitting Diodes.

 

Extremely efficient, extremely long life, but you need many many many of em to make a reasonable lamp. Which costs $.

 

The sulfur lamp will probably be the winner eventually, provided you can make a microwave emitter small enough.

I'm involved in a large company which develops electronics equipment (bluelab ie NZ hydroponics, did some work with them) Heard through a reliable source that they are working on a big $$ project for a large hydroponics company here which involves LEDs for grow lamps. Prototype units are being built to the two reqd spectrums. Can't say more yet but knowing this company no $$ are spared in R&D work.

heya samjana, will be looking forward to hearing more about the lights when you can say more ... in the meantime, love yer truncheons!

Philips Luxeon LEDs are the most powerful out there at the moment. You can get white LEDs that make about 120 lumens, about 140 lm for single colour. They're fiddly to mount- they require a special metal-cored PCB to cope with the heat they produce.

 

Even an ordinary CFL will make about 1300-1700 lm- and we know what happens when we try to flower with CFLs.

 

LEDs are just not there yet. They will be, in a few years... but for now, you can sink several hundred into a really basic LED & power supply system and still not get anywhere near the results of a $100-120 400W HPS.

 

The microwave/sulfur lamp is something I'd like to have a play with.
