I think its rad.
Its a great way to fill in the spectrum. .. its why i use supplement lighting too... instead of trying to find everything in 1 bulbI think its rad.

nothin beats hid photons as far as yield and quality.It's not the easiest thing to do as leds are directional and would need to be center stage. Putting hps to the side means the other side is not getting the benefit
New white based leds eliminate the need for hps all together, saving on electricity.
Nice Herbs , I like when some people go for quality instead of quantity. . I got some pictures and here they are and for 4-5 weeks more of flowering theese (Ex Cheese) will have more nice tricomers. It's organic and with mixed light ( max 720 w /m2 ) and quality speaks for it self. Nr 2 White Fruit ( Bluberry/white widow ) . 3 weeks left approx.nothin beats hid photons as far as yield and quality.
Replace HPS , HID , not so easy I've seen differnt types of setups but HPS , HID they are still good. To replace HPS then you must go near anyway ( counting watts )( specially the flower stage ) ; I'm thinking of advertice this 250 led replace 600w HPS. No my experience ok not so many grow rooms but I am sure that you must have at least 400 w led to 600 hps, but still HPS have their benifits . As energy bulbs ( enough for veg but for bloom I don't think it's) enough. with T5 yes I saw a setup like this light in top and 3 sides on the wall in a closet . quite good results. So it is many ways you can setup and go for good results. Keep on growing :) .It's not the easiest thing to do as leds are directional and would need to be center stage.

I personally think leds are ridiculously expensive considering you can get great quality and quantity with a cheap hps bulb and supplemental UVBYou're mistaken thinking hps watts are the same as LED watts. The parameter is photons of energy emitted (umoles). Similar to cell phone tech, LED tech is developing exponentially. Top led panels (white based) not only provide awesome PAR umoles, but do so with ~ 40% less heat. That means no need for exhaust fans, or reflector/bulb replacement, a substantial electric savings, PLUS, all the photons are directed at the canopy
Here's my last grow under a Amare Technologies SE 220 (now replaced with 250 @ $745). First pic is top bud which I had to snap as it was growing beyond my tent height. 2nd pic show incredible penetration: this bud was ~ 30" BELOW the light
If I got money I buy theese most like the sun Gavita pro plasma light. HID light is also an or more elements in plasma like argon, Na , etc in plasma but how to know whats best? photons ? umol? par how do we count light made from plasma like the sun and it's accurate ???? Choose the light you fit, grow on. :)You're mistaken thinking hps watts are the same as LED watts. The parameter is photons of energy emitted (umoles).

I remember the good ole days where led claimed they would double an hid yield hahahaSeriously?
This was grown under Amare Technologies SE 220, now updated to SE 250 (250w), but watts is a tiny part of the equation. See umoles
The bud next to the cell phone was > 30" BELOW the light and off to the side (leaning up against the tent, so well out of the sweet spot
