Light Emitting Plasma (LEP)

[nici]

Hi All

 

Surfing the net today and found a great thread on LEP (http://www.cinematography.com/index.php?showtopic=51884)

 

It focuses on stage lighting and LEP for cinema but there some great info there about the technology.

 

Cheers

wow nici this is cool.

 

wonder what type of heat they give off. i'm thinking if its anything like led it will be negligible.

 

cheers for that

hopefully this will be in some stealth grows in the future.

There are L.E.P. lights on the market for growing. (Light Emitting Plasma) . Gavita do a compact unit for growers, as do a few other companies now.

They must be supplimented by HPS to get more red into the spectrum. They work by bombarding a small amount of Sulphur Plasma or similiar with microwaves.

 

They are extremely efficient and have the most output in Lumens of any grow light, also the closest to natural sun light.

LEP are still a tad on the expensive side, but this is the future..... LED's are a waste of time, they tried for 20+ years, still cant nail it.....old tech now.

 

Can't wait till these come down in price, dying to try one........... Peace. Nibbler.
