240w LED, 2 Monster plants

So do you think one of those would compete with a 400w hps? Or rather - are they worth the money compared to other LEDs?

Currently I have a 150w hps, but it's generating way too much heat, and this might be an alternative for me since I was thinking about simply getting a bigger fan. I have a small one room apartment, so I have been kind of hesitant towards getting a bigger fan since it would most likely disturb me...Im hoping this might even up my yield a little:dance013::jump:

Edit: Do you think it would be enought with 2 120mm computer fans + 1 80mm fan to cool a area of 75cm x 40cm x 100cm - Width x Depth x Height. with one of those?

Hi,

Yes, I dont think you would get any heat problem with your fans..

I think 1x120 Power LED is about the same as 300-350w HPS... Maybe 400w if you use your light opitmal...

About the price, I paid around 370$ for a 120w Power LED.
I think this is pretty cheap, if the light will be good for 50.000h.
And I also save alot of money on electic, fans, less heat = less water and food.

Peace

Great work! It looks fantastic!

The LEDs were impressive, I think I may get some when I start having moms. How little heat do they generate compared to HPS lamps?

Its hard to say, but almost nothing..
You cant burn your plants or yourself anyway..
I think this is the biggest benefit compared to HPS lamps.

nice grow and a decent result ,surelly u could easy beat 1g/watt with 3 or 4 plants in that space like verdant greens mod scrog method

great to see another good led grow

leds are the future

good luck with your next grow and thanks for documenting this one

Hello there :gday:


Nice results for LED :)

Im a bit confused about the wattage of those lights though.

I figured 119 LEDs at 3W would surely be pushing the boundaries of a 120W total. I went to the site you included but i cant read that lingo to check the specs.
My main concern with those lights would be heat mangement considering the amount of LEDs compared to a HGL unit. But the results are excellent so grow for gold!

The PowerLED-120 use 90x3w.. its total 270w but it only reach 120w...

The heat is almost nothing... the lamp have 3 fans...
U cant burn your plants under it... but u can light blend your plants if you have them to close...

Thanks for watching, check my new grow out...
