Comments on this LED lighting

[Hackerman]

I am running an experiment and I am using my T5 to flower a couple plants. Since I am using the veg bulbs, I would like to add a little red axillary light.

I have a 4 bulb "bathroom bar" that I could screw 4 of these LED bulbs into and add 600 red LEDs to the party.

I don't know beans about LED lighting yet so I'm not sure if these would be helpful or useless. It's quick, simple and cheap so I am expecting it to be more useless than helpful. LOL

It's over $100 but, just barely.

I need this right away so I may order it up right now.

Thanks again for the tip.

It's only supplemental lighting. And, I am using it for an experiment only and don't really plan to use it on a regular basis. So, for a 1 time shot, I don't want to spend a lot.

Actually, $150 is more than I wanted to spend. That's why I was looking at those cheapo bulbs at first.

Jeesh, by the time I decide, the experiment will be over. LOL

Love to hear any more comments.

I looked that up and it looks like a full spectrum setup. I want all blue. It's also almost $400.

Well, I don't know what took them so long LOL but it is here and installed already.

Kudos to HTG Supply (and thanks to Skull for recommending them to me). I ordered it sometime after I made that post yesterday and it was here today before I even went to the grow store. Nice job HTG.

The light is a POS. LOL It will do the job that I have assigned for it quite well but..... wow, if this is any indication of how they are making LED lights.... I'm not impressed. I could pop these out in about a half hour after I made the boards. I must admit, the LEDs themselves are very nice. I don't believe I have ever seen an LED this big. It's huge compared to the ones I have always used for my electronic projects.

Still, like I said... it was here in a flash and it will definitely do the job I needed it for.

Just wanted to put a happy ending to this thread.
