Ok, I truly believe that LED will be the way of the future but they are nowhere near ready yet. I'm in the Mendo area and at least 75% of the people here are growers. I've seen at least 25 gardens over the years switch to LED and every single one of them is back to HID lights.
Costumer service is pure shit with LED light companies mainly cause they are small fly by night companies. The large light and hydro companies wouldn't be stupid enough to miss out on it if the technology was ready or at least comparable to HID light. One thing I also noticed is that almost every one of these guys had some kind of problem with at least some of their lights. The LED's themselves last for years but the shit that runs em seems to overheat easy, or short, or just plain stop running for some reason or another.
Almost every one of the videos on youtube showing how great led lights are are usually put up by one of the led light makers or somebody that can't admit to themselves that they just threw away a fairly large chunk of money.
Last what do the pro's do? Any major seed companies using LED? How about professional growers of legal stuff?
Not trying to be a dick here but I've been under the lights since 1985 and I just want you to get the most for your work.
