Searching for the right LED grow light

Postby newtothis » Tue Nov 26, 2013 3:57 pm

Hi,
I am very new to LED gardening. Right now I'm using two 600 watt HPS lamps and they work just fine. But the heat, power costs and the risk of detection has me wanting to change over to LEDs. I have an old "stealth" unit here but I fear it's pretty old technology. I can't seem to find a good unbiased review anywhere. Can anyone please suggest the better LED grow lights that I should be looking at?

Try this review site:

It's really not that hard to deal with heat with just a couple of medium sized HID lights and if you want a similar yield you're going to need similar (or more) watts/sqft so the bill won't go down much, if any, either. Detection has many sides to it some are a big deal and some not so much...
Disclaimer:
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.
