Kessil Led's Rock.

Just finished another grow with my Kessil H350 Magenta lights. I just can't say enough about these great LED lights. I swear my autos are yielding as much as photo periods with the Kessils and 5 gallon pots. I started with one H350 and just added a second. They penetrate so deep into the plants that my buds are growing all the way down to the soil. I also dig how small they are in size compared to the light output. Two green thumbs up.

Kessil looks very, very good. I love their tech, I just wish I didn't have to pay $2.80 per Watt for it. Illumitex seems similar to me, but again, is prohibitively expensive imo.

Glad you like the lights. Hopefully there's a huge sale someday and I can pick one up.

no offense but i did a side by side using one 350 magenta and one 180 black star chrome. there about the same price and similiar wattage. the chrome produced a 1/3 more yield. i sold the kessil on ebay. it just didnt live up to my expectations. i know have 6 chrome 180s. for the buck there just hard to beat

I'm with you on the Kessils. And if your space grows to about 3 x 3 then get a couple three more Kessils and a spinner. The spinner really leverages the watts and you can easily add a little different spectrum by adding one or two different colored fixtures. I can also say that the Kessils are performing flawlessly after a full year's use. To help ensure they keep working well, I use a can of air and spritz the fans at the end of each grow to clear any dirt off the fans/out of the housing. Keep that great cooling system working great.

Well I started with CFL's I bought a 135 watt LED UFO from eBay. That sucker was a monster weight wise. Then I said you know what....you get what you pay for.....just buy a Kessil and try it out. After a week it was easy to see that Kessil was putting out three times the light as the UFO. So I just traded the UFO in. Another thing to mention is how much lighter, smaller, and easier the Kessil H350 was to hang. Not only is the quality better and design, but most importantly one of these little boys puts out close to a 400 HID. I cried about the price first, until I saw what half the cash got me. In comparison I got about 100 watts of LED light for $135 compared to 350 watts for $265. You get what you pay for indeed. Twice the money three times the wattage. I now have a second H350 and am working my way up to a spectral unit.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news put that kessil h350 draws less than 80w from the plug brother .Their nice units, you just need toooooo many for coverage.

maybe you have some serious skills in growing but there is no way on earth i could ever imagine a kessil 350 coming close to a 400 watt halide. i have grown with every wattage light there is. i am also a huge fan of leds. i have used advanced, hydro grow, kessil, illumitex, spectra, and a few others. for me its always been watt for watt as far as yield. what i gain with leds is higher quality and less heat.

I can't agree, ... nor disagree, but I have not been impressed with my kessils so far. I can't tell whether they are working or not because I always have them next to a proven light source. Maybe an increased in trichomes but not in bud size and also seems to take longer to finish plants.
