Compare LED, CFL, Plasma, and HID Lights Review. In this video I test a 400 Watt HID Metal Halide Warehouse light fixture CFL and LED that can be used as a grow light that you can you in your home. The same method can be used for high pressure sodium fixtures. These are vertical fixtures but can be used horizontal. I got the fixture and bulb for free. Then added a cord. The LED, CFL and plasma were all purchased from Walmart and Lowes. Chosing to use CFL and LED bulbs in a green house can be done for a number of reasons. Bulbs with different wavelengths for plant growth can easily be found in local stores in most areas. The light fixtures are common, cheap, and plants under them easily. They also don’t put off a much heat. The initial investment is lower than HIDs while still keeping power consumption low. Even though HID are more power efficient they typically come in larger packages that consume more power and more heat. The lower energy output makes it much easier to start your seedlings and tender plants inside. The HID is much better when the heat will not be a problem like in large areas or where there are larger grow beds. One of the downfalls of using CFL and small LED bulbs is you generally cant produce large size plants tomatoes and peppers unless a few are used. If your looking for light systems for starting seedlings and lower energy plant growth inside during the winter CFL and small LED will work great but a HID will be to big. With an HID you can  produce Tomato or peppers inside during the winter and the light will also act as a heater to keep them warm. Visit us at Smartelectricnc.com and waterstonefilms.com
