Re: LED vs. HPS

Techhead-

I'd be very interested to hear how you put yours together...I've gotten 3-5W single LEDs for display cases and spotlights (and they are nuts), but never made a large series of them...I think that is where the real future of LED technology lies, but they must need some hefty heat sinking and resistors.

Kaiser-
I've seen some pictures of lovely Aussie grown LED bud in cycle and finished, that were grown start to finish under 1 single 12W wide-band screw mount light. One plant per light, max. Especially lights using 2-3W single diodes in the spread...these seem much more effective then a rectangle/ufo with 5x3 1W config. HPS or MH is probably better to flower with in this situation, because ideally you need 200+LED/W to really start to see nice buds, but the LED's will always be a good supplement lighting without adding any heat.
