    Default Help asap on lighting !!

    Hi there using 2 600w hops for a long time but going to do autoflowers . So autoflowers are going to be 18/6 so the electric bill is going to be sky high . Am looking to use led lights for the first time . I have seen Ones on eBay etc saying 600w led for £40 seems a bit low in price and sketchy ? Says there are 60 10w double chips . Has anybody be used these kind of leds and do they work similar to hps. How far etc away from plant as first time going to use them


    Link for the lights am about to buy to give you a better description



    Cheers

    2.600W Double Chips LED Grow Light
    Actual Power consumption: energy saving, just consumes about 100W-130W power, much better than the same product in the marketplace. Meaning it will give 600w light but only use 100w ish of power

    I keep out of the LED game now. I spent best part of two hundred quid on one a couple of year ago (a 400w with a draw of 185w) to replace a single 250w HPS... I used it once & went back to HPS

    Lots of folks do hobbit, but I prefer to give my plants some down time (and my hardware too) so I grow 18/6.

    Not seen any definitive study or side by side grow that conclusively proves one way or another. Plus it saves a few ££'s in electricity if that matters to you.

    Aww a see , when you say a draw of 185w do you mean it's a 400w led light but only giving out 185w? I have been growing for years and always hps . I have 2 Wilma systems in my 1.2 x 2 x 2 . I use too 600w hps and my electricity a month is around 100 pound in a one bedroom lol . If I bought the 1600 led am not too sure if and how to tell what the (draw) is . Will say two 1600w replace my 2 600w hps and reduce my bill in half electricity wise? Cheers bro
