Re: Icemud Goes LED: Featuring Top LED Grow: Cherry Pie - GSC - OGiesel - SFV OG - UV
Hey Browns!! I appreciate you stopping by. I have to say I am very happy with the Mars II lights as you can see my plants are as well from the photos. Its too early to comment on the Intelligent-gro lights because I just got them about 1 week ago and so the plants haven't been long enough for me to be able to comment.
Here are things I can say..when comparing the 2 at this time.
-Top LED is cheaper cost.
-Intelligent Gro lights are much quieter
-Top LED lights run slightly cooler
-Intelligent Gro offers more LED wavelenghts present addressing more key points of photoreceptors
-Intelligent Gro allows you to customize your light spectrum output, and has dimming features to help save on electricity over Mars II which give you only 1 setting, either on or off.
-Intelligent-Gro uses lenses on their LEDs which result in a more direct, intense lighting with better blend of light.
-Intelligent-Gro lights are lighter than the Mars II (steel vs aluminum cases I believe)
-Top LED has great customer service, and I can't comment on Intelligent-gro because its a sponsored grow and I didn't go through the regular customer channel.
-Intelligent Gro (comparing the same wattage lights) seem to be much more intense and bright than the Top LED lights, now I didn't do par readings and plants do not see like people see, so I can't say that one gives better PAR value than another, but visually the Intelligent gro is brighter.
I wish I could give you a specific answer but since each grower has different reasons they purchase lighting, I can't. Hope this helps though. I honestly think either option would be a good buy.
