Kessil seems like a decent way to spend a lot of money on a small area. How much did you spend and how much area does it cover?




$275 on the light and my tent is 2.5 W X 1.5 D X 3 H that's in feet. For the size, light output and being switchable it was what fit MY needs.

Finding that perfect LED for your needs is what is critical. Its one of the reason's you can't just universally recommend a brand or fixture.




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 :rolleyes: 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.
