Joe Dirt 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2012 I recently bought a head lamp for night time mountain bike riding. It uses one Cree LED. The bulb looks like a microchip and is a suoer bright 3000 lumens running off of less than 9 volts. It lights up the dark just like a car headlight. The light is tiny, you could fit a ton of them on a unit. Problem is the one light I bought cost 600$. If they get the price down enough, we are going to be growing with these soon. They are amazing! Here is the company link. http://www.cree.com/products/index.asp Just gotta get them making some grow bulbs now! These things blow the current leds used for growing out of the water. Its like trying to campare a new v-8 mustang to a 79' pinto. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HillCrest 534 Report post Posted January 8, 2012 Cree are well known for their LEDS. As for growing soon with these lights... you can grow now...... but they are still are not as efficient as many believe. Your still going to need MORE wattage than a HPS light to get anywhere near close to HPS results. LED still interested me greatly that being said. But I won't be buying one anytime soon even though I LOVE to PLAY. Grtz HillCrest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would say 10 years maybe, Being opptimistic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
