Why LED?
LEDs produce light more efficiently, can burn brighter longer, emit virtually no heat and the wavelengths of light can be controlled to the nanometer. This is why LEDs are ideal for growing plants; they are extremely energy efficient and can produce the exact spectrum of light that plants love. In fact, LED's work so well that NASA uses LED technology to grow plants in space.

 Assembly is ridiculous March 8, 2010
PrinceGal (Boston, MA, USA)
It's a good product, but the assembly, eyebolts with the smallest nuts imaginable--too small to handle, even with jeweler's tools. It's just absurd. The assembly should have been accomplished in the factory as preassembly wouldn't have negatively affected packaging/ease of shipping. I ended up jury-rigging with some difficulty.
What were they thinking? Better yet, WERE they thinking?
 Amazing Product - Exceeds Expectations December 30, 2009

For the past 10 years, I have been growing herbs, peppers and vegetables outside during the summer. Everything I plant is started by seed. I have made several attempts to bring different plants inside during the winter and none have made it. This winter, I was determined to be able to cook using fresh ingredients.
I spent dozens of hours researching grow lights, hydroponics etc. I have read several scientific studies as well as reviews on different indoor gardening methods. My research led me to this 14 watt LED Grow Panel. I would have loved to have bought a metal halide lamp, however, there are some overwhelming reasons I did not. My plants are next to a window so they can get some natural sunlight during the winter. I did not want an excessively bright light shining from my window. I have four 100 watt metal halide lights around my house and they illuminate my 2 acre lot like its daytime. I cannot imagine what one of these lights would do indoors, not to mention the heat and possible fire hazard. My neighbors would probably think we are getting abducted by aliens.
I ordered the grow panel and received it in just a couple of days. My grow light shines on two Thai pepper plants in their own pots, a pot of sage and two large pots with various tropical house plants. The room stays around 60 degrees (not optimal for growing) and all of the plants are thriving. The light is on a timer and stays on only from 7pm to 7am. During most of our Winter days, the sun barely makes an appearance. I had a sun room in my last home and was able to grow most things indoors (during the summer only). The one thing that NEVER grew indoors was any kind of peppers. The sun room would be a consistent 85 degrees with full sunlight. The pepper plants would look great but no peppers. As soon as I brought the plants outside, boom...peppers.
Today, in the middle of Winter, my two pepper plants are sprouting a ton of new peppers. We have plenty of fresh sage and the house plants are as green as ever. All of this in 60 degree temperature. You will not go wrong with this product.
In regards to the two negative reviews about this product. Compact fluorescents or tube lights DO NOT produce results anywhere close to this product. As far as the comment about "the whole industry would use this product if it worked", C'mon. Where have you seen commercial green houses use any type of grow light? Green houses/nurseries are a seasonal business. Why would they sell plants in January? Its much cheaper to import produce from southern climates than to populate a green house with grow lights!
Incidentally, I had a minor issue with my grow panel 35+ days after it was purchased. The vendor replied almost instantaneously and went out of their way to make it right. If you plan on doing any indoor gardening or starting your own seeds, you will love this product!
 Waste of money. December 25, 2009

This product it a piece of expensive junk. I feel I wasted a hundred and thirteen dollars. I brought two of these and tried them for several weeks. At the same time, I had a "Fluorescent Grow Light System" in place on another seedling. The results where that the seeds under these panels grew extremely slow and where extremely weak and fragile. Under the other system, the plants grew fast with thick roots, branches and stems. Everything else was the same, pot size, soil, water type and amt. Don't waste your money. You can get better result with just florescent lights.

The nursery industry is HUGE..if LEDs worked as advertised every green house in the country would have them.90% less electricity for better quality light? The government would pay you to install them!.Millions of dollars would be at stake and yet no one has converted whole commercial grows to LEDs.If the smart money hasn't jumped on after all these years of claims then it must not work.If I'm wrong, that's great! but until an independent nursery gets into the wall street journal because they installed leds therby slashing their costs, providing a better product,creating jobs and dominating the industry while being green I won't buy one.That's how revolutionary it would be if their claims were true.
