Totally agree!!! Im looking to add 2 H150s to this setup. I've noticed on most forums the HPS guys love to bash on LEDs which I don't know why?! Its all about the best light for your needs!!!
I like to call my get-up a micro grow.
It uses 125 watts (kill-a-watt P3) total which includes: the 3 LEDs 2 monster surge protectors what is said to be 100 cfm 4" fan (doesn't actually move 100 cfms)
3.75 SQ FT. floor space 11.2 Cu. Ft. total grow area
One is a cheap blue and white LED from ebay that I had on my saltwater tank before it crashed (it grew zoas). The other is a mixed spectrum sunshine systems led bulb. Since the kessil was very spot lighty I figured Id add they to my tent versus them sitting in a box both are in reptile light fixtures I had around as well.
plants seem to grow very well in the tent. When I first started gathering advice about how I would put it together saying I wanted to grow cacti many people were like "CACTI WITH LEDs WONT WORK!!" they have been doing just fine and showing growth comparable if not better than CFL.
