Anyone try these out? They are so cheap you can have 2x or 3x as many of them over any higher priced ones. The boards and plugs all look IDENTICAL to the expensive stuff and I think these are the same ones made by the "brand name" companies but are the "run offs" or the ones that the manufacture sells under their own "non label" for just over cost.

Anyways, I know for a fact LED grows can be fantastic so I'm only looking to see if anyone has used these before not that "you cant get a decent yield with LED"

They are absolutely, in no way "identical" to an LED panel that will grow a decent plant.

Agreed, especially with that many only pulling 15W - I wouldn't use any less than 1W per bulb, and if it was a DIY I'd go 3W a piece with specific angles engineered at the bulb level.

3w a led sounds like a boat load.

What how many watt led is equiv to 1000watt CFL or HPS?


How many watt led would be ideal for 50 non hydro plants? More smaller ones or fewer big ones?


Or should I get one of these for every 10 plants

Just don't want to spend 2grand on lights but deff don't want to deal with the heat issues of cfl or hps so If I have to I have to

15W for that setup...you'd do better with CFL.. bare minimum decent wattage for LED setup = 1W per bulb, with 90-120 degree angles which if that setup had 1W a piece..you'd see 15 bulbs total. Part of the DIY I would do would involve 9 spectrum + IR to a very small extent. Highly recommended you check out the LED grows of BeefBisquit - he has some awesome grows with proper LED setup.
