wingos led vs MH

Wingo, I love the lights!

What is the color of your bulbs?
Is each Led bulb 3W?
If I wanted something as "bright" as a 250w MH how many Led bulbs would i need?

The bulbs in the pic are 12,000K
Each emitter is 30W
Generally, in public we say 2.5 times so a 250WMh is less than a 100W LED.
In real life, my 72W with some(not max yet) optimization by me, is shown to be brighter than a 250Mh, the Solaris on a Zero-edge and getting very close to the 400Mh next to my table in the NJ Swap. I did not check the colors of the 400Mhs as it does not seem like they want to release that info to me. LOL.

In addition to the 12,000K, I am making the first in the world 14,000K and 20,000K Super High Power LEDs as of speaking and hope they will arrive in time for the swap so that I can display them then. Make sure to look for me once I announce I am definitely there.

The standard housing I use is the same T5 silver housing from SUN SUN. They have hardware for hanging. However, next shipment, I will start to ask them for the black version with legs.

I can retro fit everything in your existing fixture like the one I did to the Current fixture.

Making the dawn/dusk effect is only a couple clicks with the computer which I can include or you can program yourself like Dr. Random did. Of course you have to pay for the extra hardware.

what is the lifespan of these overdriven 72W leds? and do they lose intensity and color spectrum slowly like MH so that i have to replace them even before it des not light up.

Depends on what technology is used to over drive a LED, if done properly, it would not shorten the life span. However, the material(resin/plastics) covering it will age like glass or acrylics of a tank. But tis proces is very slow for you to realize.
