Free Electricity Challenge
efficiency. The problem is, the word “efficient” has become such a catch phrase with LEDs that many people don’t realize that there are vastly different levels of efficiency from one array to the next. When I explain that LGM lighting is the most efficient plant lighting on the planet- it sounds like marketing jargon. The purpose of our “Free Electricity Challenge” is to help you understand just how efficient our LED products are. I challenge every lighting company on the planet to do what I’m about to do. Anyone who orders 4 or more LGM3 or LGM540 bars through www.led-grow-master.com will receive an automatic rebate to cover the cost of the electricity consumed by the LEDs for one year. The rebate will be applied to all qualifying purchases from March 15th through April 15th 2011. The rebate is based on the assumption that clients will run their LGM plant lighting for 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. The cost of electricity will be calculated as .10 cents per kWh (the average price of electricity in the USA). If you think that free electricity is no big deal- let me put it in perspective by showing why I doubt that there is another lighting company who would accept my challenge. The cost of electricity to run one 1,000 watt HID bulb such as HPS or MH for 24 hours a day and 365 days a year- over $876.00. The cost of electricity to run a 4 fixture, 4’, T5 system for 24 hours a day and 365 days a year- over $189.00. While it should come as no surprise that the traditional bulbs are eating up electricity- let’s do this math against other LED plant lighting. The cost of electricity to run a single Sunshine Systems LED GrowPanel Pro for 24 hours a day 365 days a year- over $262.00. The cost of running one LED Supernova for 24 hours a day and 365 days a year- over $236.00. Why are we able to offer a rebate that would put our competitors out of business? The cost of electricity to run 4 LGM540 bars, 24 hours a day, and 365 days a year is a mere $32.00. LED Grow Master lighting is the most efficient lighting on the planet. It’s not jargon- it’s smart engineering that results in conserved resources and money in your pocket. --AL We've Been Around the Block Many people consider LED plant lights a new technology. For most LED array's on the market this would be accurate. It is a stretch to assume this applies to LGM. It's true that LED's are advancing at a rapid pace which means new versions are introduced on a regular basis. The idea that there is a question as to whether or not LED's have proven themselves as a viable source of light for your plants should no longer be in question. The original purpose of this very newsletter was to share what has transpired since LED plant lighting was first introduced to the public by SolarOasis. The LED Gardener has provided over 125 articles on LED plant lighting. This year marks the 5 year anniversary of the newsletter which should be a good indication that our LEDs have been in use for at least that long. It all boils down to perception. In the long run, if 5 years ago still qualifies as new to you- simply take it back to the SolarOasis patent application. If almost 10 years ago is still new to you than take it back to when SolarOasis first made their mark in LEDs almost 20 years ago. If 20 years old still qualifies as new technology based on your perception- we are new; but still proven in commercial, research, and hobby applications throughout the world. LED Grow Master lighting has been around the block. --AL |
