Thoughts on using 12v LED light bar - Off-road truck style?

[Caramanos2000]

I have been doing some reading regarding led grow lights but I cant find anyone using an led light bar. I thought of using one with a pc power supply to power it. They have a 52" long model on amazon for under $100 and its rated at 300w and 30,000 lumens . Any opinions on this?

What are the spectrum of the LEDs that are being used? That would determine if it would be suitable.

Sounds like the right Kelvin for Veg cycle.

I have a smaller version of this I bought for my truck which I havnt installed. Its only 9000 lumens, but I could give it a try.

Keep us posted on your new install. Good luck....

Hi,

I started today the same experiment with led light bar. It consists of 3-watt diodes - total 144 Watts. I measured lux and was much better than the light I used. I got same lux at 80 cm distance with bar vs 20 cm light I used for grow.

What to expect?
