High CRI White LED vs CFL Male
Default High CRI White LED vs CFL

Hey everyone,

I've been trying to find an answer without creating a new post, but most information on LED is regarding the Blue Red type.

I currently grow under E27 CFL bulbs, not specialized bulbs, just regular Walmart 13W CFL Daylight bulbs. I'm getting great results so far with all plants growing and setting spikes in record times (compared to previous windowsill setup).

I'm setup on shelves, 8 bulbs 1 feet a part. Everything is painted white and shelves are glossy white to reflect light. Bulbs are 6 to 12 inch from plants.

I want to switch to LED as I don't feel like having to switch CFLs every 6 months to a year.

I have a few concerns.

I purchased LED made for plants that have a combination of blue and red. I can't stand the light color, as my growing area is also our family living room...

Just going to delete this, looks like I commented to a duplicate thread. N/M, I don't see any way to delete my response.
