I was wondering who has used hps and led and know what the differences are with heat management. What have your experiences been?
When I am adjusting LED's, I can hold them by the actual lamp in my palm while they are still turned on... I don't think you can do that with any wattage HPS bulb
So do you guys think 250 watts of led would produce the same amount of heat as a 250hps. If you had everything dialed in heat-wise for 250 led could you replace it with a 250 watt hps and not have to change the way the tent is cooled?
LEDs produce substantially less heat than HPS, I have both
how many watts of led do you think you would need to create the same heat put out by a 400hps?
Absolutely, if you have a quality source of leds.
I am sorry but I highly disagree
how many watts of led do you think you would need to create the same heat put out by a 400hps?
HMMM try an experiment plug in a regular home wattage cfl (100w equiv) and a 90 watt LED hold one in each hand for an hour. Which do you think will get hotter?
400watts of actual draw on leds will produce the same heat as a 400w hps.
250W LED will outperform 250W HID.
You just have to grow differently with LED...
