well, sorry but LEDs do fail after a certain time of use, high end LEDs as the use in modern combat lights and car head lights have a lifespan of about 1000-5000 hours, that is more then a xenon burn will deliver but not endless light as well. and high end LEDs with really some punch to them you won't get for $100 per 1000 as well jesus, a single 1-3W will cost you about 40-90 bucks a piece right nowLED or Light Emitting Dioed is an excellent source of high efficiency light. They're super super bright and use almost no energy. They will also never ever burn out when wired properly. I say properly because if you have one little thing wired inncorectly or your current is not stepped down properly to operating level they will burn out prematurely. When I was at ITT tech to become a certified master electrician (which I never finsihed lmao) I wired an LED board with 1000 Light Emmiting Dioeds on it. It was on a single 4X8 sheet of ply. It took me 2 days of drilling for all the piolet holes. And another 2 days of straight soldering to get them all connected together. This bored was so bright you were squinting the entire time. It was definatly more intense then my 1000w hps light. The bored used an incredible all inspiring 46 watts. Well actually it was 45.6 lol. LED'S are really really cheap. I got 1000 of the little red ones for a little over 100 bucks. When you buy in bulk they cost almost nothing. If someone could research the color or maybe a special type of LED that was needed for growing I wouldn't mind building another 4'X8' board. with another 1000 on there. I think it would be very interesting. And a very very energy efficient and lumen efficient grown system for around 100 bucks? Sounds like a damn good deal to me. Lets do something about this, this really has me interested.
ARe you kidding me!!! im not trying to be rude or mean in anyway bro so dont take this that way! But yes!!! If you build a board like I did and know how to do it and all the wiring theoretically you could save loads of money on the lighting and the electric bill!!!!!Are they worth the money?
Well If you ahve the right spectrum yes and Trust me my board was a whole lot brighter then my 1000w hps. And more spread out!Will they grow decent bud?
LED lights will last forever and longer then we will ever see to live. They will never burn out or loose brightness. This only applies when they are wired properly of course!Will they last longer than a month?
so i guessed, the cent a piece ones, and those won't give you much punch, those are the ones that are around undeveloped for 20 some years now, no evolution with those. the LEDs which i'm talking about may do the trick but those are freakin expansive still and will stay at that level for the next 2-10 years for sure and till then those set ups you can buy are not better then those things hung up in boston few weeks ago as commercial calling of the bomb squat, pure toysNo I was talking about the Tiny LEDS that I did my Board with green.... Not the expensive ones lol. Your talking about the kid you see on the ass end of tractor trailers in stuff. Im talking about the kind that are in flashlights, keyboards, backlight keypads, etc.
as you said video, everyone is entitled to have his own opinion on this issue, free speech, but we both witnessed a few how tried this stunt in reasoned month, we seen the fancy adds and the shitty outcomes in realty and that is the cold bottom to the story. right now there isn't anything on the market worth trying, but if you like to, its your money not mine, go for it and make a journal to show how you fail.Theres no reason to attack me dude, I am merely passing on what I've seen. You don't have to agree with me at all.
It dosent change what I've seen though.
Please, prove me wrong.
I'd be the first to run right out and buy some LED's than.
Peace
me the same, get sometimes a bit heated i guess my badNot a biggie.
I guess I did misinterpet it though, my apologies to you.
I wish you the best harvest dude!
Peace
