these don't look so bad

they actualy let you choose the ratio for leds

neat

would probably be enough for non "mint" plants

might be depends on setup tho

i bet my capsicums could grow with those very easily

tomots dont even need that .. they grow well with just plain 1000lumen led light

might buy these just to help with flowering

right now I have a box with daylight CFLs, gets kinda warm though

would like to add an LED for flowering though

i have found that the ikeas cold highlumen lights are more than enough for tomatoes

for capsicums i think they barely DO

specialy the rarer ones dont seem to grow properly with those

apparently those are 5W lights

not 7W but anyway

yeah, i'm reading the feedback now

just so long as it doesn't burn my house down

that curve is very very optimal for capsicums

damn

i kind of want those now

sadly they are in ali not on proper sites

🎲

roll it boyo!

i hate aliexpress so much for not having paypal option

i should really stop using my debit card on there

thankfully HPS lights dont cost that much here

well the 150w sodium vapor lamps*

50-60 euros whom whole 150w plant system (reflector,transformer etc)

What? That is not a lot at all.

Friend of mine bought that kind of gear for thousands of euros.

he probly got proper stuff

as in 1000w lamps

proper widearray dentted reflectors

and such

not cheapo thinmetal reflectors with cheap transformers and 150w lamp

i glued space blankets to plywood for my reflectors

step 1 from cheaposhit decent cooltube reflector set costs 80 or so euros
