LED lights

You must have money to burn! I would not call bulbs that cost $150 (US)
each ($120 in lots of ten) cheap. You can buy a LOT of regular bulbs
and pay for the electricity to run them for that.

has anybody heard anything good about led light??

Yes, it's brighter than LED dark. Any specific questions?

I am thinking about getting some led grow lights. this site seems to
sell some pretty inexpensive ligts atleast in bulk
http://www.fuzzlight.com.

Try posting with as much detail as you can to sci.eng.lighting. There
are several people who keep up on LED technology. I wouldn't be too
specific if you are planning to grow "Interesting" plants.

You mean YOU are trying to sell them !

As I comment on sci.engr.lighting, they're OK for lettuce - (maybe) :-

(the only commercial application I have been able to find and I wonder
if they paid full price for those LEDs ? ;) )

From observations of experimental grows they're about as efficient as

compact fluorescents, but substantially less so than even small
HIDs .. so even for (expensive) lettuce, their only selling point
(outside of a laboratory) is lumen maintenance / longevity.... but the
payback time surely has to be a decade or so ...

I reckon fluorescents are the best solution for domestic salad
production.

Most of them are used for ambient or atmosphere lighting, not lighting
a pathway. If they are hard wired, they may be much brighter than the
solar LED units they sell.

If you want to try them, buy them from www.qvc.com and for thirty days
if you don't like them you get a no questions asked full refund, less
shipping the items back.

they are cheap to run per lumen
they dont burn out for thousands of hours (10,000)
they typically emit only a limited spectrum so it is really important to make sure
the spectrum is blue with a bit of red and the intensity is enough for growing
plants. Ingrid

LED lights have many benefits, such as special power saving, can be used for a long time, high brightness is not easy to dim. Merchants will also say that it is environmentally friendly and safe, no harmful substances, I think it should be
