plant gurus led help please/

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Has anybody else used these? I'm interested to see how well they work, considering there's no mention of color temp & LED's only produce a very narrow spectrum... I'm not calling BS or anything, but its a bit suspicious. I really hope they work because I'd love to get some!
 
i almost got those same led panels. i was gonna get the blue one too. they will work but dont expect to get growth like a MH lamp...
 
I'm a huge believer in LED technology & I used them for years as a concert lighting engineer. Thats why I'm so skeptical... Each color of LED only emits a very narrow spectrum, but a huge amount of it. So for example, the "cool white" LEDs only produce 10,000k, so thats all the plant will get. Usually a true white has to consist of a red, green, and blue LED, mixed to simulate the proper color temp. There are some homogenously mixed color LEDs that can produce wide spectrums, but they're very expensive & I doubt they would use those just to make a wide-spectrum white. Again, I could be wrong: Maybe they just forgot to put the color temp on there. I really hope it works, cause I'll be gettin myself one!
