Well, keep in mind it wasn't the legislature that passed this law. It was a direct vote via ballot question. But remember, what is created by legislation can be destroyed by legislation. Of course they are also cowards, so hold your state reps accountable.
If it were up to the legislature, we wouldn't have a frickin thing. Heck, even the illegal growers want this law dead. It's hurting business.
But that aside, I recently built a new light bar. I used 12 xm-l2 cree 5w chips (a combo of 5k and 6.5k lights) on two 24" heatsink bars. It draws 65 watts at the wall and is a nice compliment to my 360W (at wall) blurple light. The shape is designed to let it come right up to the led light box without blocking it.
The output from this light exceeds the output from 2x4 foot t5's or 4x2 foot T5's. Plenty of broad spectrum light and around $115 in parts (including shipping).
I'm using it alone for early veg. Once the plants are bigger I'll turn on the blurple.
