LED test on SM100

[Floyd R Turbo]

so did you put LEDs on that one too? Which fixtures and which ones failed on you (the round ones or the unknown ones)?

Sorry for the confusion. The round hydroponic lights did not hold up against the humidity. I have not put LEDs on the SM100 (yet). For now I am using Nova fixtures.

How audible are the fans in the LED unit?

Fans are quiet; you only hear them if you turn the flow off.

So what are your thoughts so far? I know it is still early and not all that conclusive. From the videos it seems I can make some initial conclusions (especially the Top Side video in the above post), but don't really want to say mine because I want to hear first hand thoughts from you first. You are going to be able to tell us better than anyone else watching videos because you can see it in person.

I'm going to have to swap sides first, to make sure it's an even test.

any futher comment?

I agree to Inkidu------NEW AGE-----

IT make the world better ? T5 is a danger to my home (earth) and my wallet

I'll post more pics after the 3rd cleaning. So far both sides are the same.

I just finished my 4 LED light bar with 3W LED's. Right now I am 2" away and do not have any lens's just straight LED's. Any suggestions if 2" away is OK?
