Hmmmm. Any thoughts on full spectrum LEDs for growlights? they are full spectrum and work quite well for grow lights, they also run very cool when compared to florescent just make sure to get the ones that are more white in color, the ones I got are about 6000-7500k (the sun is 5500K to 6500K) don't go for lower than 4000K for the color temperature or you may activate the plant shadow avoidance system |

We switched over our entire off grid, 12 volt house lighting to LED's this winter. We finally found a source of reasonably priced, 12 volt LED's that were bright and came in warm color temperatures. Really makes a difference in the power consumption. A 4 watt LED spot can replace a 10 watt CFL in terms of light output. Check out www.eepsales.com |

Any thoughts on full spectrum LEDs for growlights? One of the new LED grow lights i bought for my upcoming winter/indoor growing experiments came yesterday. Boy is it bright! So bright in fact that it can hurt your eyes if you look directly at them. But this thing is so bright i expect my tomato seedlings and others will not die this time and will actually get adequate lighting. I chose these on their relatively high wattage (can only expect about half of what they say) and relatively cheap price, plus shipping from a US warehouse to speed up shipping rather than china direct. I was actually aiming more for the balanced red and blue lighting and less on the "full spectrum", but these do include about 5 white leds on there as well. I figure they mostly help in reducing strain on human eyes from indirect light. us.banggood.com/Wholesale-Warehouse-25W-E27-Full-Spectrum-LED-Plant-Grow-Lights-Bulb-Veg-Hydroponic-Lamps-wp-Usa-1053607.html    |
