Like I said I really don't grow that plant, but in my time searching out LED tech for growing one has to look at it :)

And yeah I totally agree as there IS so much BS.  Both camps seem to do well no matter what light's they use, yet they argue till they are black and blue at times  ???

Not sure why though as one camp are growing plant's with less electricity/heat and doing well....  I kinda put that down to the Harley Davidson/NASCAR Effect.  :D

My own assumption is that LED is the way to go for growing for pure pleasure.  I do say pleasure as I like experimenting with plant's and this is a Chilli grow. I make no money or save money doing this, it's purely done out of love of growing plants which actually cost's me money, 'a lot of money' LOL
;D

But yeah in saying so, I have seen and read some things that really are groundbreaking in growing under light that are not involved with the Industry that should be tested out to see if they hold water.

well if you got the money go for it.if i was you i would go with a reliable distributor.leds would definitely not use much power but they have to be put down almost against the plants because they dont have alot of "throw" from what ive read.hps 1000wt +- will add about 10°F to the temp of a 500sq.ft.area like a trailor house.
it would take me like eight years of electrical savings to recoup that large an investment.
i love gardening too.my 3acre yard is a jungle this year.in the middle of east texas.lol.
six years of freerange chickens fertilized the heck out of this yard.and added alot of topsoil.went from a quarter inch to an inch and a half.
ive never been much for rules.
being me has its priviledges.

O heck you are talking death star lighting there mate LOL   ;D

I am trying to convert a small alcove in my forbidden cove of ridding the world of evil to a quaint space that's insulated where Chilli's grow. 

One really good place to to look at a LED light and inspiration is here...

http://www.ledgrow.eu/

That is a cool LED light and what is all good about LED lighting.  I see the same with Taiwanese LED light's but no-one has heard about them as they are not targeting the Ganja market, infact I am not sure what market they are targeting with success  >:(
