LED Grow Light Review

Hey Screwnuts33:

I agree to a certain Point, but if your boot strapping it, much of the "Assembly" cost can be avoided if you MFG yourself from Raw Components! In the beginning sales will be slow, with retailing them gives most profit, this allows the Profits to be put back into the business or Squirrled away for that "Contractor's" first run! The upfront costs of the first run from one of these contractor's can be cost prohibitive to most small time business's!

Start Small, Make Prototype, Prove it works, Retail some lights, use profits to build first run not Smoke, use proof for smoke! LOL! :)

Stealth,
I agree. This works if you have everything designed ready for production but no equipment/skills to do it. More efficient than using a sheet metal fab shop to make cases, electronics place to load the boards, and then you put it together. The contract shops we work with do it all in house. Sheet metal, CNC machining, Screw Machining, Paint/Powder coating, circuitboards, etc. They can even handle the packaging.

Hey guys!

I haven't started growing yet, but I am assembling the pieces to build a growing-wardrobe.

For a confined space such as a 175x120x50 wardrobe, would a single 90w (multiband) LED UFO (like the Sunshine-Systems) be enough, or should I supplement with something else? I'm going to divide the wardrobe into veg-room and flowering-room, so it'll be about half for flowering, which is where I intend to have the LED.

Anyway, great thread.
