Grow Room What LEDs are you using?

[The Medicine Man]

So, this is something I've been wanting to really look deep into. I'm not sure exactly what I should be looking at wattage wise to cover my space. I've got a room that's about 11 x 14 or so, but my rails are 4 x 7 total, so that's all I need lit right now. I'll be adding another rail or two later in the fall or early winter. What would be recommended for that? And, do you think it's something that I should even look into for a space that large?

Thanks!

I use a Hydroponics Hut 260W and 180W and a Prosource 90w.
Hydroponics Hut offered a 90 day money back guarantee and has a replacement program if you should ever have any issues.

No complaints or issues and they seems to grow fine.

The 260W I have in a 2 x 2 area

The 180W in a 32" x 18"

The 90W is in my Prototron currently

HydroGrow Penetrator Pro 345W, and Sunshine Systems 90W UFO for the dead spot on the side.

I have 2 of HTGs newest 120w LEDs. They just changed to using 2w leds. I think the actual draw is ~109w apiece. Cost 250 each.

I'm only using one of them right now, but looking good so far.

I used to have one of their older 120 models, with 1w leds. The new one's look much better quality, even though I didn't have any problems pulling ~4 zips from one of the older models that only used 90w actual.

Depends. A lot use a wattage as part of the product name, like the Blackstar 240 or the GLH 290. That may differ from the actual wattage. The actual draw is more likely mentioned in a detailed discussion.
