We’ll obtain right into a couple of various false impressions:.
1. Since they make use of much less power, leds are much better.
2. Overall prospective power level vs. real diode capability made use of.
3. PPFD numbers are to be relied on from producers.

Theres just a flood of knowledge every time! Exactly what we need! It’s so strange having this information fill the gaps in my grow game. No insight, to feeling confident about my first big purchase. Thank you a compost heap load!
Thank you for educating, i have a question and i Would like to get an answer, looking to starts seeds in my garage, on the space i will use is 48 inches by 20 inches. 5 shelves. Which of the light will be the best for this issue
Heaps of LEDs are totally shit. Iv had grow offs with mates with my lumatek 630 cmh. I beat them every time it’s laughable actually.
Put a light meter under it to show us. Them small ones are totally shit. Unless it’s for a two by two tent. If you not going a real good led don’t bother just get a lumatek 630 cmh it would blow that light off the map.
Not sure why but its part wrong. Output = input/resistance and Efficiency = output / input. What matters is the amount of light at a set level – working level, this is called the lux level. The wave band the light omits is also of greater significance with light in one wave band better than in another. If you input 180w and you get 200 lumens at 400mm from the source at a spread of 300mm is it better than the same as the light in another light band but lower lumens (white, red, blue, etc)? The spread is also important if covering a number of plants as the further away ang angle of the light from the source the less lumens. Whether you have 100 LEDs or 50 LEDs producing the same lux level does not matter as long as the power draw at the plug is the same
so if a grow light says it emits around 2.5 micromoles per jule is that too much? Also how exactly can we verify the info these companies present?
I’ve got a 2mx2m tent .. right now I’ve got HPS lamps which are costing too much really .. any suggestions on which LED is should look out for maybe? Nothing ridiculous priced over 1k each , thanks
(I’m fairly new to growing so don’t need the top tier stuff as of yet
Great video thank you!
everyone trying to sell you something..i never know what to believe on youtube anymore
Very informative. Great video. But now in 2022, i need a LED for my 4 x 4 tent. Price is not a big concern, I want quality. Which light do you recommend now in 2022? Thank you for your time.
Nice break down and very informative!
Do you run both veg and bloom during veg or just veg light in veg? I have an out door grow with supplement led. Because they only get 6 hours of direct intensive sun. So I’ve got an LED added in. I’ve read many times and places too run both veg/bloom in bloom. But what about both in later veg especially? Thank you for this awesome video.
Kevin, you knocked it out of the park with this wonderfully informative video. Thank you.
I cultivated the like button!
Sooo. Your recommendations for a light?
Awesome video, 👏
As far as the light, based on it’s performance that price is in outer space 🌌 I actually just bought one superior to that for $30
