Default LED Grow Lights

Anyone using led grow lights? The seem promising as the prices drop down the reasonable levels given the power savings and smaller amounts of heat generated.

thanks!

I haven't but am going to try them out when I build the 11 plant system. I read a lot of reviews online and it seems like they don't work quite as well as hps, but for the energy savings, I think it is worth the sacrifice.

Let me know what you decide on, I don't see many of the major grow light makers really taking LEDs on.....

Default Jury Out

I think the jury is still "way out" on led's, not sure they can reproduce the corrrect spectrums, enough lumens or the right temperature. My opinion...not worth the money yet.
