Post your results when you can. Recently came across these and wondered if they where as good as they claim. More light per watt with less heat.

I was also looking at these. Please update results.

I read that only the really expensive ones (hundreds of USD) worked well so I bought a T5 high output instead.

I would love to augment with an LED if they do produce as claimed -

Happy Gardening

The heat is brought by a heating carpet.
