Has anyone tried LED grow lights? They are damned expensive but use hardly any electricity and do not generate heat like conventional grow lights. Could this be the future of indoor gardening?

It is about time, where can they be bought?
I will try them and let you know, I saw HID and sodium come in, can't wait for
digital 1,000's haven't seen them yet, just the 400's.
This LED shit is hot, I want some.

Right now it looks like about $1200 for the equivalent of a 400 watt HID.

If any were true, it would have, made the front page of every pot grower mag.
NASA needs to grow in space at a cost of $10,000 per liftoff pound.
They use florsent panels.
Next is the FACTS
Grams per, watt per, month, that is the bottom line for growers.
Funny thing happend to the way to the scales. That 25 year old metal halide system, still produces .468 grams per watt, month.
Do not waste your time and money, always ask for the FACTS.
Remember you can buy bull shit by the bag.
The differance between hookers and housewifes, is the price.

Yeah, a proven technology is the safe & economical bet & I personally would not buy these very expensive things as an experiment, but if they got good reviews, and the price dropped (as it would if they became popular) the absence of the heat, not to mention the greatly reduced electricity costs, would be a huge boon to most small personal use growers and large scale growers as well! I posted to see if anyone has tried this, so far no one has... They are VERY new to the market and in time, I am sure some people will try them eventually.

A study/experiment by Univ of Minnesota shows LEDs equal and comparable to HID HPS. Three equal controlled sets of plants (peppers and flowers) were grown using natural daylight, LED grow lights and 400 watt HPS. The results show almost identical results between the HPS & LEDs with daylight (of course) producing the best results overall.

well the led grow lights on the page www.ledgrowlights.com in my opinion look like crap and are wayyyy over priced..all they are is some 6 inch trafic lights..theres no science behind that..heck theres a guy on ebay rit now selling 12 inch diameter leds ( same thing) for a 1/5 of what they trying to to get for them that they probly bought at some surplus auction... good luck..but i have seen pics of people using them to grow and its very empressive..u just have to look around...
