Why LED?

LEDs produce light more efficiently, can burn brighter longer, emit virtually no heat and the wavelengths of light can be controlled to the nanometer. This is why LEDs are ideal for growing plants; they are extremely energy efficient and can produce the exact spectrum of light that plants love. In fact, LED's work so well that NASA uses LED technology to grow plants in space.

5.0 out of 5 stars Real life comparative experiment, June 7, 2009

By	W. R. Valiunas "cne9999" (Illinois United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am going to make this simple. I have this unit, a fixture with an Incandescent grow bulb matching the comparative rated wattage this unit states, and a CFL growth light matching the comparative wattage as well.

I have all three surrounding a set of four plants. In a kind of triangle format, meaning one third of the plants space covered by incandescent on third covered by CFL and one third by this unit all pretty much as symmetric as possible. All of the bulbs and fixtures are professional grade.

All the plants lean to this light. No matter how I do it. I switch locations the plants follow this unit. I move this one to an odd position within a day the plants follow.

So I took the other two out (CFL and incandescent) and replaced them with two more of these. And WOW! The growth was exponential.

I will never go back to incandescent or CFL. I have four more of these type units, larger sizes, on order now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than you would expect, March 19, 2009

By	C. Geliebter - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I expected this to be made cheaply for some reason. Maybe because I was unfamiliar with this. To my surprise, this panel is actually pretty well made. Although to some this may seem pricy and there are cheaper ones out there, this is the best for the money. Here's why-

- The LED's are larger than the typical size LED's.

- The LED's are set well so they will not bend and everything feels very sturdy.

- Standard plug, no wiring hassles

- The light which this puts off will impress you for sure (it really does rival a 60w HPS)

- The full spectrum gives off blue and red light for optimal growth stages and flowering stages

- No heat output

- 14w! Less power= less $

5.0 out of 5 stars SO much simpler!, March 16, 2009

By	Happy User (Minnesota) - See all my reviews

I'm just starting out with grow lights. It's easy to be overwhelmed- Should I get HPS, metal halide or fluorescents lights? Then there is the buying of the bulb, the ballast, the reflector, the timer... This was an all in one-just plug it in and go. It has no on/off switch, but I haven't found that to be an issue. This has both red and blue output so it's suitable for all types of plants. I don't know how well it would work with large plants; I'm using it to start seedlings. After a month, my tomatoes are 4" high, my nasturtium is lush, and even my okra plant is 2"-I've never been able to sprout okra indoors before.
