Found these on ebay, was just wondering if anyone had grown with them before? Hae a look and let me know please. If they are as easy and efficient as they claim why isn't everyone using them?

Hey greendave, to answer your question bluntly, they just don't do the job.
If you use the search function you'll find a few LED threads.

From what I've seen plants are straggly and produce very little bud. Get yourself a HPS. There's just no comparison.

LOL--I think that you answered your own question. They are not easy and they are not efficient and they are expensive. LED technology may get there one day, but they are not there now.

There was a thread recently on an LED grow. While the LEDs did produce some bud, it was a small amount--about 1/4 g per watt of light. LEDs also require much more micro management.

thanks, They make them sound so great it just seemed too good to true. lol. I'll stick to my MH and hopefully get a pair of smaller HPS soon.
