What happened? A customer replaced 300 watts of HPS, 4 T-5's and other 4 other T-8 fluorescent in an indoor hydroponic vegetable garden. The hydroponic system under these lights needed water added every day to the reservoir which equaled about 12 extra gallons of water with nutrients every week before he changed the reservoir. After changing to our 300 Watt LED Grow Light he did not have to add any additional water to the reservoir.

Why is this a big deal? It takes a great deal of heat to evaporate 12 gallons of water and it takes a great deal of air conditioning to cool the area to optimum growing temperatures.

What about the his yields? They increased through and have gotten better each cycle. Since he changed? He has used less nutrients and has virtually eliminated heat stress on his plants. Comparing electrical bills from the same time last year he had seen a drop in his electric costs of $58.00. A persistent mold and white fly issue also cleared up quickly with treatment that their growing group determined was because of the high humidity and heat in the room.

Conclusion: This is not happened in a lab but even with conservative estimates Jim will save over 450.00 dollars a year in electric for lights, cooling and extra ventilation needs. This pays for this light in 2 years after that you begin to save 450.00 a year. Our LED Grow Lights last an estimated nine years which means savings after you PAY for the light of close to 3000.00 dollars by a conservative estimates. The money saved could have bought a 600 Watt and a 300 Watt Commercial Series Grow Lights to really have a cool hydroponic garden.

PROFILE TWO

What was needed: A small greenhouse looking to expand contacted us from one of our dealers. He was about two hours away which made it possible to do an on site walk through with the owner. I made the suggestion that he use (8) 600 Watt Commercial Series LED Grow Lights.

Solution:He used a total (4) 15 amp circuits with 2 lights on each circuit because each 600 watt light uses 5 amps of electricity. The greenhouse grew flower baskets and flats of flowers for sale at their garden center and at local stores. The lights were mounted at 7 foot above the plant stands as supplemental lighting. The company had 6500.00 in a year budgeted for electricity for lighting in this new area. They have had very good results for the last year and have spent around 2400 for lighting in this new grow area.

What happened: A first year of savings in electricity was 4100 dollars below their budgeted estimates. The owner estimated that over two of their LED Grow Lights were paid for the first year and production yields are better than the old legacy type lighting. He is planning to change out the other operation to LED Commercial Series Grow Lights this winter. He is excited that the lights he bought will be returning back his investment for years to come.

A need turns into a centerpiece: Kristine wanted a light for her 3 small orchid plants that she kept in her basement recreation room where she watched television with her family at night. She had a existing fixture which fit a standard flood light shaped bulb. We suggested that she started with a 15 watt standard base LED Grow Light. The light was hidden in the ceiling fixture and provided the perfect lighting for her orchids to grow. The display has grown to include 2 other 15 watt grow lights and 8 additional orchids. "The recreation room lighting and my orchids have become a object of attention for anyone that comes over. I also love sitting near the lights in the winter to recharge my batteries with my little artificial suns"
