LEDS are trash.
And then have an open duct at the top for the air to escape? Like passive exhaust because of the pressure? I don't think that would work very well without a second fan.The hoods/ covers for the lights have the abiltiy to pump air out, right? So an inline fan from the light, exhausting directly under the tent. It doesn't effect the ventilation system for the grow space at all.
Please get out of here. You're clearly trying to start a useless argument. We're trying to actually discuss stuff here. If you have actual opinions and reasoning then be my guest and share but this is useless.LEDS are trash.
In smaller tents, I think it would be fine since they only need the fan running a quarter of the time. Having the exhaust run back into the tent would be the same as having no exhaust at all.

I built my room 19 years ago and used two 1000’s until this last fall. No comparison between the hps and LED’s in every category. I sold my hps 1000’s.LEDS are trash.
The products are there and educated people buy them. There's nothing wrong with the hardware themselves and they give more flexibility and controllability in parameters like temperature, spectrum, coverage... They are expensive but I'd argue they are worth it.lol. This is the led argument thread. And the whole led grow light industry is a big overpriced scam. Its gotten even worse than how they gouge aquarium hobbyists.

And exactly, it's an LED arguments thread. Not a "blurt out random statements" thread.
Well I think LEDs would be much better in my situation. I see why you'd rather other types of lighting but I wouldn't.And @gorillaglueaaron the answer will always be need the right tool for the job. Hid will be much more useful in my basement than cold electronic diodes.

We're arguing the same thing. As I said, I can see why you wouldn't use LEDs but I am using LEDs and they work well for me. In my tent, I don't think HPS would work as well as the LEDs.
I personally couldn't have a better light for my tent. It put's off an almost perfect coverage. I like the amount of heat it produces, the spectrum, the electricity usage and I have plenty of light. Of course it's expensive but I don't mind. I know the benefits of both but I prefer LEDs. I don't want 6 inch internodes. I want 1.5-2 inch internodes. It's really just about preference as you said.It would if you set up for it. I have none of the heat problems you keep speaking of with 600 watt hps in a 4x4 tent. I did it for a couple of years in a small bedroom in a hot trailer home. Just shared the house central ac and ventilated with a 6” fan out the window. Of course quantum boards had not come out yet. Led was blurple.
Have you ever used mh or hps?I personally couldn't have a better light for my tent. It put's off an almost perfect coverage.

noHave you ever used mh or hps?
Then how can you prefer led?
Because I've seen data from hps I've heard people's experiences, I know what both lights do. I have everything perfect in my tent right now. I don't see why I would want anything different.Then how can you prefer led?
