BlazeOneUp, I'm curious...You refer to the HID side only as such (Not HPS or MH). The light projected from the HID appears to be MH (white glow opposed to the reddish/orange of HPS).
to you for your Dedication and Discipline to Properly and Effectively see this experiment through
Excellent work, K+for your non-biased, devoted efforts for the greater good of the community!!
Keep IT Up Blaze!!

You got me curious as well Empire. It could be a CMH, or good use of photoshop to get better pictures. What's the verdict Blaze?

I think some people also need to take into account LEDGirl is a women and you know women, Always gotta get the last word in and speak their peace ya know.

...anyone done a CMH comparison?
There was a time when GPS cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Talking about it the wrong place could get you executed. Now, any kid with $100 can get one, they're practically toys for pocket change.
When LEDs were new to growing, they were largely useless junk. This is no longer true. Prices are dropping. Give it time.
People overlook the fact that early adopters always pay more, and it's because of them that the prices come down to a level more suitable for the masses.
although some bitch and moan at the initial cost, as they rarely consider the fact that LED actually saves you money within the 1st year of using them compared to a comparable HID lighting system. But if all you're after is cheap and 50 year old technology, then by all means keep using your HID's.
If you're going to do all that work, the least you could do is use actual wattages for comparison, instead of measuring in dollars per month. Maybe something like... kWh? And then people can input whatever they pay for electricity.
