Not all LED lights choices have actually lived up to their insurance claims. I determined to attempt evaluating a couple of access degree LED expand lights in the hopes that I can locate something that would certainly maintain up with my T5 fluorescent light. And also the price to run it is not negative (altho I believe LEDs are able to enhance upon this element). I was wishing to discover an expand light that would certainly function in a rack system, simply as fluorescent lights do. For this application, LED panel lights are extremely attractive. They uniformly disperse light throughout the plant cover. *** PRODUCT EXAMPLE *** This T5 rack system is an instance of what I’m opting for right here: Http://amzn.to/2n9pAnB (Amazon) I desire to see a system like this that utilizes LEDs rather and also functions simply. Prior to you provide me a thumbs down, maintain in mind that I like LEDs & I’m truthfully attempting to discover an item that fits the expense. EXAMINATION BED (# CommissionsEarned):. Leading Rack – T5 Fluorescent/ 2ft x 4 light bulbs (6500k) – 96w (86w real – gauged after making video clip). Protection location: 22.5″ x 13.5″ = 304 sq in. Upfront Cost (Q1 2016) – $89. Amazon.com Link: http://amzn.to/2npsKFE. Base Rack Side 1 – LED Blue – 13.8 w (15w real). Protection location: 12″ x 12″ = 144 sq in. Upfront Cost (Q1 2016) – $35. Amazon.com Link: http://amzn.to/2mSp1wI. Base Rack Side 2 – LED Red + Blue – 45w (29w real). Protection location: 12″ x 12″ = 144 sq in. Upfront Cost (Q1 2016) – $36. Amazon.com Link: http://amzn.to/2mSMJsq. My PPFD Meter (Apogee Instruments):. ► https://amzn.to/3ebJiHZ. UPDATED READINGS:. After buying my Apogee SQ-500 Quantum Light Sensor, I had the ability to take some PAR analyses as gauged in PPFD. This is undoubtedly far more valuable than a lux analysis. 15w Blue LED: 29 PPFD @ 6 inches/ 60 PPFD @ 3″. 15w (9w) Red/Blue LED: 120 PPFD @ 6″. 45w (29w) Red/Blue LED: 320 PPFD @ 6″. Range: Lights were positioned 6″ from dirt surface area. Preliminary Test: Multiple seed kinds expanded in potting mix in trays & apartments. Last Test: Tom Thumb lettuce expanded from seed in Kratky’s hydroponic trays. – Seeds from Botanical Interests: http://shrsl.com/?~bzt8. OUTCOMES:. Making use of 48w per plant, the T5 light created one of the most plant development. The “45w” Red/Blue LED light carried out acceptably, yet not rather. I would love to evaluate it simply a little bit a lot more. The 15w Blue LED system was simply not able to execute. It was likewise plainly observed in a range of various other plants throughout my preliminary examination. REFERRALS:. I do not suggest getting these 15w LED systems for anything various other than an extra light. The LED would certainly require to be high sufficient up that it does not color the plant from the all-natural light. To maintain up with a T5, I would certainly look for a Red/Blue panel LED that eats over 30w per square foot. It’s feasible that some versions could be much more reliable than various other comparable LED panels. – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – -.

Jerri Croft led ,,the only heat is from the heat sink which is cooling the electronics,,as far as heat from the bottom where the light bulbs are located,there is really no heat whatsoever
Came here to make Pak De’s point. The brigher panel produces 82.6% more lux, but requires 300% more power to get that. If you had ran 3 of the lower powered lamps, they would take the same amount of power as the brigher panel (9×3 vs 29. Actually about 6.9% less power), yet yield 64% more lux. Yes, the initial investment would be greater, though. You’d also have more flexibility for moving them around and achieving better coverage as you desire.
Great videos, though!
Why not just go for an LED T5 light? They come at 6500K as well…
@djiniiiii Please watch the video listed in my comment:
*Transcend LED T5 Tubes* – 23wx4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7wHj6PLv6s
hello love the review videos man very good job. i have a question that i am haveing a very hard time finding awswers to . what is your opinion on the lm301h 1 watt diodes vs the half watt or .4 watt diodes? i really cant find any awswers so even a shot in the dark based on your knowledge would be greatly appreciated . sure hope to hear back .thanks for your vids and effort keep up the good work!
Why do those lettuce look like straight from Chernobil?
I will buy lettuce that have better looking leaves. The big one might have the mass but it doesn’t seem appealing at all 🤭
It has tip burn from being too close to the light. More here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHWf4Hfi3hA
what color do you use for led/t5 light bulbs – 6500? 4000? 3000? great video 🙂
Get you some spider farmer lights they work good it’s working good on buck croy. Lettuce all kind of leafy greens first kind of lights never had any problem yet go hydroponics you won’t have that problem get you some tray
thank u …..i just gave up on wasting money ….no replacement for the sun
it’s really too bad that you only used red and blue LEDs instead of a larger spectrum. i think light intensity has little to do with it. but who knows
Agreed. This video was from a different era. Back then, it was much more common to see LED grow lights with a very limited spectrum. Good riddance to those days!
What’s your opinion on t 8 6500 k I have a case of bulbs to use up
Hai anybody cAn help me..what type of white light I can use for growing veggie?
I have appreciated this channel, it’s knowledge, and it’s honesty. I want to share a point that we are going to prove soon in time lapse.
For any plant with fruit or flower nodes at more than 1 height (1 node 6″ above the floor + another node 5″ above the floor) 6500K is the reddest light an indoor plant should receive until flower.
Adding inches between the nodes by veging with 5400K sunlight will cut indoor yield almost 50%
I will always pay for 54watts of 6500K florescent instead of 15watts of 5400K LED, to add 50% more yield in flower.
U arent factoring color.
The models used are obsolete. Color doesn’t even matter at this point. Fortunately, there are MUCH better LED options these days.
I like your videos because you learned how to grow before you started making youtube vids about it. Ive seen alot of people on youtube “teaching” when they havent even learned yet. Anyways, good job on the grow vids, i find them entertaining.
I really appreciate your feedback. I agree. Many people will make a video showing what to do, even though they have zero experience with it. And then they might not even show the results. So you never know if it worked or not. Thanks for watching Joelson!
3 watt t5 l.e.d are best for seed to veg… i have 2 150 watt l.e
D samsung meanwell driver and using 4 of the 6 t5 thats 12 watts and runs miles on the l.e.d for veg.
First time subscriber I loved your presentation and honest approach in a great understandable manner……hugs and best wishes from Scotland xx🤗😀
