Sunshine Systems LEDGP14 LED Grow Light 14WT



Sunshine Systems LEDGP14 LED Grow Light 14WT Sale


GlowPanel LED grow lights provide your plants with a balanced spectrum of light for healthy & vigorous plant growth. GlowPanels consume 80% less energy than HPS or Metal Halide grow lights and produce virtually no heat. They're great for growing plants and with today's skyrocketing energy costs, they're also good for your wallet. GlowPanels are not only economical, they're environmentally friendly too. Less energy used means less of an impact on the environment. The GlowPanel LED grow light lasts 10 times longer than an HPS or Metal Halide lamp and will operate for up to 50,000 hours without the need for costly replacement bulbs. Because GlowPanels do not contain mercury or other hazardous materials they can be safely recycled after 50,000 hours of use.

Sunshine Systems LEDGP14 LED Grow Light 14WT Customer Review


I got GlowPanel today (10/7/09). In fact, it is already hung using included hanging kit and has been nursing my sick shamrock for several hours. I have given GlowPanel five stars because the things other posters had indicated about it are true, solid construction and jumbo-sized LEDs.

I chose GlowPanel over other units based on information in posts in this section and because a GlowPanel representative promptly addressed my frivolous email questions about the unit.

How this all got started, as if I have nothing else to do, I decided to convert office to LED lighting. And while I decided on a home-made solution, lighting my desk relatively cheaply with budget LEDs, I did something profoundly stupid in experimenting. While my initial investment in LED lighting has proved satisfactory, deciding to stop using the ceiling fluorencent tubes was a bad idea since there were plants in the room. And while a shamrock (that thing must be a weed)survived my unintentional "nuclear winter," I lost other plants.

But I have now begun a desktop conservatory based on the GlowPanel. And the big concern, possibly having to explain to clients the bright red and blue LEDs, has been resolved. It turns out that while the LEDs are distinctly red and blue when you look directly at them (box warns against looking directly at them when unit is on), the overall lighting effect is not a distracting psychedelic, but largely white light with subtle red and blue hilites. No big deal. Note that the LEDs don't have any color when off, just clear, transparent plastic.

So regardless that I haven't had the GlowPanel for 24 hours yet, I am a happy camper.

Also, note that the numbers that I was looking for with LED lighting from a non-political green objective are the following. While I used to use 160 watts of ceiling fluorescent tubes for 8+ hours/day, I am now using under 20 watts of LED lighting, actually just a couple of watts more than the 14 watts that the GlowPanel takes.

Finally, I'm going to unplug the GlowPanel since I'm leaving work. This is just a precaution since I've only had it for a few hours. But feeling the top side of the unit, particularly the corner with the electrical cord, and half of adjacent side, is the only significantly warm part of the unit. This is presumably where the AC/DC converter is. The few screw heads in this area are hot but that's no surprise. Otherwise, the unit is not hot, or significantly warm.

Next day:

I found a problem with GrowPanel! Actually an insignificant problem, IMO.

The AC plug of the GrowPanel is an inexpensive two-prong, thin blade type. But such a plug is fully justified, IMO, since the unit doesn't draw that much current. The problem is...

What I noticed today when when I plugged in the panel is that one, or both, of the plug's blades were evidently not making contact with the blades inside the receptacle, so the unit wasn't turning on regardless that the plug appeared to be fully inserted into the receptacle. And I tried several different receptacles, twisting the plug a bit, finally forcing the blades to make contact. Unit has remained lit without problems.

But this is not an unusual problem with plugs and recepticales. In fact, I've deliberately bent a plug blade slightly on occasion to force a better contact with receptacle blade.
