I recently upgraded my LED grow utility cabinet to Haight Solid State LED grow lights.
Here are some pictures:
I started with the LED plant bars, moved up to the spots, then the superled/procon copy - but these are by far the best. The PPF-400 version I'm using uses 15 6W LEDs - equivalent to 60 of the cree XB. They don't have any fans are really just what I wanted when I started.
They use red, blue and white LEDs - I can confirm that seedlings grow great with them. Up until now, I still used florescent for seedlings. The big improvement for me is that it reduced the blooming time to 7 weeks (saving 1.5 weeks)
I'm now getting 5 ozs dried buds every 7 weeks. I think I'm more limited by the size of my cabinet then the lights. I'm pretty sure these two lights would yield over half a pound if unconstrained.
They also have a PPF-800, but that is bigger then I needed and I haven't tried it.
The prices are pretty good - still more the HID / HPS but not that much more really - especially if you add in the cost of replacement bulbs.
I think these are pretty much HID killers, LED grow lights are finally for real and ready for prime time.
