If you follow the NIKKEI link, the captioned photo also shows slightly more typical salesman. :nice:

The prototyped small vegetable plant. It can be placed in a small space in an office or home. For comparison of the damage to leaves, only the uppermost unit is equipped with an LED light source, and the lower units use fluorescent lamps.

Do LED's really provide that much light compared to MH & HPS's? I know they run a whole lot cooler, but are they better?

Just wondering, you know, in case I ever wanted grow......lettuce.

Led color range can be fine tuned for the light frequency needed most for photosynthesis. No UV leaks... dirt cheap to run...

Not growing anything but following closely anything led related...

Color range, yes, I'll agree to that, but how about light output in terms of power? Can they penetrate past the first top layer of leaves? Even LED's get hot and need heatsinks once they start putting out serious juice, my Clearwater flashlight gets hot to the touch after about 20 mins on high, but then again, it'll blast anything within 1km and light up out to 2km....
