[QUOTE="Halfbreed, post: 1534515, member: 157889"] hey, I went through the same process when I considered my lighting options, and I have a 600w Advanced Diamond series LED. Very happy with it, getting good production, and I was concerned about heat and noise too and was pleased to find that in my basement the heat is no issue at all, and I actually need to run a heater every once in a while because the heat output is so low off the lights. The noise level is exactly like what you get from a computer fan, as this is basically what the lights have built into them. My plants are healthy, the light was safe and mild enough to do veg though I now use 8 HO 64w t5s in a Hydrofarm ballast for my veg and flower under my 600w led. I plan on continuing with LEDs and I might try some GSL (Grow Stealth Lighting) next just to see if there is any difference. When you factor in the cost of the fans to cool the HIDs or HPSs, the electronic ballasts, the energy cost, and the replacement bulbs (the LED lights last around 10 years), you're actually not spending any more for an LED light and you're room ends up a lot cleaner looking with less noise. I find that I need to have a regular white light in there though if I'm going to hang out and smoke in my grow room though, because the ultraviolet and infrared lights alone make my girlfriend and I a little dizzy and disoriented.
