LED lights

Has anyone tried these? Combos of red&blue LEDs in a square panel. Supposed to be as good as HID systems with less electricity. Amazon has them via some other vendor. I'm tempted to try them for the seedlings I should get back from flasking in May.

Which systems are you looking at? I looked at them back before I had a wife and step kids, and I just couldn't see the extra cost of the fixtures paying for the electricity.

however, since that time more vendors have been trying to deploy more high intensity LED fixtures for more tasks. I just haven't had time to look at them again :-).

I'm trying to remember the terminology my sister in law's husband uses, but I think he'd call that an assembly. What you would kludge together to keep from electrocuting yourself would be a fixture :-).

I've seen the panels of 225 LEDs before.

interesting, but the lack of spelling on the website is appalling.

The question I couldn't find an answer to is the demensions. Is this a

3-inch square, 6-inch square, foot square or a yard square or somewhere in between? One would need to know the size before deciding the value.

'm guessing that device is about 5"x5"

'm thinking that the other products don't have sufficient thermal handling.

However, i think I hit the cool stuff here...
