I think its the temps you need to worry about more then anything elseI so need this right now! If I'm going to do a winter run in my father's GH, I believe I'm going to need supplemental light. It's a shed with translucent panels for the roof, so too much light is blocked IMO. I can't run up the power bill on him and 600s will do that. But, neither can I really afford to spend a lot of money on LEDs. Gots me some readin' to do!

Thanks, I did not know that.is a good read but please understand that all the LED fixtures in that test are obsolete. there are no cobs and every single-diode LED fixture in the test is at least 1-2 generations out of date.
Absolutely, but for me I'm going to have to mitigate what is being paid out to the power company. We actually have 52 panels sitting on the roof of the house in NorCal that we're going to recover. Where I would like to start this winter crop already has a large... I'm not sure what to call it, but it's made of wood and was for solar panels. Now my folks use it for storage even though the north side is completely open.what a person would need to do is find a 6000 watt solar set up and run it lets say 4 k other then that
No matter what its going to cost money which ever way you look at it
I think it's going to need supplemental light. I'm looking at a couple of units, and it looks like overall the cost of LED fixtures has dropped dramatically.

Cree shows how to build a 553w LED module that performs at par with Gavita Pro with Phillips bulbs drawing 1064 watts.
Not cheap however!, Im thinking probably around $800 in parts.

i think the problem with using LED for greenhouse would be the weak par at such a height .I believe they have two configurations. One in series unless I am reading that wrong.
