LED v HPS Review - Invisible Sun LED UK

[Paul_led]

I love seeing stuff like this man. I was a convert from my very first grow way back when !
My first indoor grow I set off with 400w hps in a 90x90cm tent in the bedroom , the wife went bonkers at having a 37c bedroom in July lol so I splashed out on a Hydrogrowled 126w burple led from the states that cost me £499 plus postage !
Which I managed 5oz off of a Pineapple Express. So it deffo worked and no heat problems in the bedroom, since then I have about 6 led panels all working awesome and each one seems to be getting better has the tech and leds are getting better

I guess I should be trying one of these bad boys next

Your led are exact same spec and parts you`ve got brother on led grow light menu, give or take more or less, i read the lm301h Samsung chip is exact same as lm301b, its all about the money mukka. Get it smashed with lights you got, really its same led lights man apart from cosmetics. So that said show us your worth an opinions on jobby, .

Suppose ya right mate , the telos 0010 seems to be forming better buds than the quantum panel at the moment , but the spread isn’t as great ,

Great write up keeno! Still haven’t made that leap yet but I’ll eventually

[Wrh]

Some very interesting points made here ladies and gentlemen great read

Salutations 2-Scoops,

I don't know what photons are really...

Does energy vs the inverse square law ring any bell(s)? E. G. that later element being the main argument around which the rest of my comment actually revolved...

...i just wanna know how much weed I've got at end...

In Québec i'd say probably close to 27 g of industrialized nuggets + 1 g of water if featured with an R.H. % regulator.

...space is a big thing in that me thinks.

The thing about indoor cultivation density that worries me most is how fast an infestation can spread, hence the need for Pest Control Products.

...i don't see glass lamps going to space...

Space my arse.

And yet we've got to wonder if LEDs would even have existed during our lifetimes without such politically-driven rush...

...i'm a Trekkie fan... ... Beam me up Scottie

All right, but i still find those lamps are just too high above. Generally speaking.

May the force be with you!

...jazzing same old shit up, "same but different"...

'Yep! And i'd say the same of vaporism so far.

Amen to that...

Good day, have fun!!

Nice review mate ..........

Top review keeno. I've got 2x invis sun ISH250W KIT powered by Samsung LM561c S6 boards gathering dust atm. Kills me using my hps knowing I have these. Soon as I'm back in the house in a more controlled environment there 100% taking over.

What a review thank you for this mate really good detail and very well written @Keeno

[Treetrunk]

Awesome results for the LEDs
These new bar style give much more bang for buck. The spread of light is so more efficient. I also think it will get a lot better with new technology and better understanding of spectrum effect on plants. LEDs have took massive leaps forward and the popularity of GYO in weed and food can only help with the progress. I predict in 10 years only @2-Scoops will be using HPS
Good work @Keeno .

10 years only @2-Scoops will be using HPS

Yes indeed my friend, yes indeed, Nah but serious I'm open minded to giving owt a go, but i just can`t get what i get using a 400hps in comparison to a similar sized led of that power and its not for want of trying brother believe me I've tried once or twice and more, I'm talking near on half as much weed more or less give or take, maybe I'm missing summink or I'm not doing it right feck knows, but i can`t get by on half yield in my tiny space that's a fact. LED tech though hasn`t budged an inch for years or since cree cob & Samsung chips came about however long that is, a few years maybe, most new led grow lights i see brought out now its mainly cosmetics jazzed up cus its all about the £/$ mate, oh my don`t get me started its a slippery slope when i do, yes though for sure it will come on a shit load more though cus that's how things work in general, tis just a bit stalled atmo me thinks, so i think they rebranded a lm301b Samsung chip to a lm301h chip, its all about the money money money, then again what do i know. But yes maybe i can be a bit old fashioned or stubborn minded old fart sometimes, feck knows but that's my main reason i don't use them, i just couldn`t get by between grows and theirs nowt down for going without weed.

Hmm this ole chestnut this is not a real comparison as both lights are in the same tent. The heat from the hps would help the led side. Take the hps out of the equation and you would prob then need heaters in their making the led a lot less efficient. I do agree the leds produce a slightly better end quality product but definitely not yield compared to a hps.
The most annoying thing for me is the bang for buck the leds are madly expensive to buy and then living where i do i have to throw heaters in to keep temps up it just makes them totally inefficient.
Please do not think i am anti led and a old school hps grower who will not change his ways, as i have grown with leds many times and will do again in the near future.
Leds Great for summer in a hot spell, totally useless in the winter as my electric bill would and has gone through the roof trying to keep temps up.
That being said, when used in combination, i have had banging results.
