^where is a like button when I need one!
I also wish LEDs weren't so expensive. A problem that I have with LEDs is that they are usually no more than 6 band, meaning they emit at 6 different wavelengths. While I see them preform pretty well, they have such a narrow light spectrum (maybe marijuana doesn't use it all, but I doubt that). However, their almost non-existent heat load is certainly what is the most attractive to me. Speaking of next gen. lights, have you all seen the
plasma emitter sources? Very low power imput but can cover a 4 x 4 area at 1.25' (at least that is what they advertise, who knows how good it is). Their light spectrum is super broad and almost mimics the sun (it even puts out in the UV, which is why they come with a UV filter on the lens). They are also solid state devices with an average rated lifetime of 30,000 hours (3.4 years). They are expensive as hell right now, but I geek out none-the-less. Sorry for the tangent in your thread, can't wait to see more updates
