Why do you want to go with LED over HID?

Yeah I've heard the full spectrum stuff before but believe it I don't think I do. Every time they say this light is as good as a HID 600 (the ufo light). When grown side by side the HID always out perform the LED's. I do believe the LED's to be the future of lighting but in 25 years of growing under lights I've yet to see anything come close to HID's and that includes the LED lights out now. A friend switched his entire garden to LED's 6 months later he was back to his HID's. Like I said I do think they are the future of lighting but as of yet there performance isn't really even that close.

I could take those videos a little more seriously if they used the right bulbs for vegging but everybody knows that hps isn't for vegging. I've also notice for every video put up by a grow shop or LED light maker there are two of these from the people that actually bought them and used them at home.
Youtube is a good place to watch funny videos but for serious information gathering it's more of a joke then anything else.
