I know thats why i wont buy one and 300 is a cheap ebay one the ones hlg use for their par charts are thousands . Hlg have also had indepent labs, sphere test their 550 fixtures proving hands down they are equivalent to a single ended 1000w hps fixtures but only need half the power to get there

So if you are growing in a rectangle tent with two lights you are saying it's best to run a horizontal globe parallel with the long sides or the short sides of the rectangle?

Nope,,,if you run your globes perpendicular to the length you'll get better overlap

Ok, so we have identified a few issues with LED;

 

Con's being;

 

1. Light penetration and coverage

2. Price compared to HID equivalent

3. low heat emission and consequently on par electricity costs with running a heater in winter.

 

I still see the advantages with LED and like Tunkers and Dr. Argon have already mentioned the results speak for themselves with their QB's.

 

That being said we have only just hit the tip of the iceberg in this discussion, I feel.

 

The debate between whether we should go with LED or HID in our present time is highly relevant, if ever before.

 

I'm gonna do some more research, because I just find alot of the information on the internet is simply biased. They are out to sell a product and will hype up LED grow lights to sell a product. However, there is a reason why alot of the Large scale (legal) operations in the Netherlands and USA are swiching to LED and I will come to that a little later.

Maybe QBL could give me a HGL 550 to test, could do a side by side with an se 1000w  

same size space, same plants, same everything but the lights, lets see if they get the same results 

 

should probably do a comparison with a 600 first, if it can't better that, its a waste of time compering it to a 1000

That would be so cool madam Pedro
