Re: first time growing and looking for the best LED

Postby newtothis » Mon Nov 25, 2013 9:22 am

I have been given an old "Stealth" LED unit to experiment with. Has anyone used these before? At this point I'm under-impressed. It is an old unit so probably old technology and it doesn't see very bright.

Can anyone suggest how close I should be running these above my plants? I have read that they should be way closer, but how close?

Thanks in advance!

There are probably a dozen lights with "stealth" somewhere in their name but you probably have an old 1w or 3w light. Do you know how many watts - actual draw? I'd guess you'd want it very close, like 6-12"

I still use HID and I'm NOT an LED expert. All of my LED knowledge is from other parties or research so I can't say from first hand experience one way or another. I also run a medical grow consulting business in SoCal.
