    I was just bored and i figured i would get some people thoughts..
    Which do you think is the future of lighting, for grows...
    LEDs or Lasers..

    figured i would post a laser link if you haven't seen it..It still need blue light supplement..
    I had the whole laser grow but now cant find it..

    Some of the 3w LEDs I've used for work in the past are classified as "CLASS 2 lasers" in Australia.

    LEDs are currently more practical but eventually I believe lasers will dominate the market.

    LED's are awesome right now, I don't know much about lasers for actual lighting purposes..actually I know nothing of that.

    Yeah i didn't either, until i found a college journal months ago where i thought i guy had but i
    believe.. That it was a laser diode which is more like a LED like iewed said..But they are now controlling photosynthesis with oscillating laser they are turning it off or slowing it down by 30% to understand how it works...I was just imagining taking it the other....This technology they say will save the world, by scrubbing green house gasses and a cheap energy source..
    Here is one article i was reading..There are many others by googling laser and the control of photosynthesis...
