Having played around with growing plants under LED lights before, I thought I'd have a go at building a larger system using high power LED's.
High quality LED Grow Lights. Save 70%-90% electricity cost! Low power consumption! Low Heat! No UV, IR, Lead or Mercury. For example, our 90W, 300W and 600W LED grow lights can replace standard 500W, 1500 and 3000W traditional HPS grow lights. More benefits are as follows:
1. 95% energy of LEDs can be absorbed by plants, but only 10% by HPS or MHS
2. It saves 70% to 90% in energy consumption compared to fluorescent tubes, HPS or MHS
3. Low heat generation. Reduce grow room temperature 15 degrees compare to HPS or MHS
4. Nearly no maintaining
5. High power LED estimate to last 50,000 hours
I probably better say that you really shouldn't be attempting this unless you have a sound knowledge of electronics and have experience working with mains electricity. Also there will be high voltage near a damp environment, which is generally not the best of ideas.
It also uses really bright light, and can probably do nasty things to your eyes if you stare at it, then again if you can read this you probably don't spend so much time staring at the sun/bright objects, so hopefully common sense will prevail.
Basically be safe, and don't attempt this unless you are positive you know exactly what you are doing.
