Black Dog LED Grow Light Featured in Weed World Magazine

Posted on January 21, 2015.
Black Dog LED (BDL) was recently featured in a 6-page interview in Weed World Magazine. The interview consisted of questions from the perspective of a grower who was considering making the switch to LED technology. Topics included the cost saving benefits of using LEDs, the increase in quality and size of yield from growing with LEDs, as well as the technology in BDL grow lights that make them so effective.
"We insist on high quality parts for our lights because we want the best grow lights possible."
The cost-saving benefits of Black Dog LEDs were highlighted including how the lights use 20-40% less electricity, alleviated the need for light bulb replacement, and reduced need for additional cooling in an indoor grow room.
"It is true that LED's can save money, but we think the biggest benefit is better growth and a superior product when grown under LED lights."
When asked by Weed World contributor, Professor Lee, why plants grown under LEDs can be quite a bit more lush and healthier than those grown under HIDs, Black Dog went on to explain how plants grown under Black Dog LEDs produce 2% to 5% more resin than plants grown under HIDs.
"Because our lights have a balanced spectrum, plants grown under our lights tend to be a lot more compact, dense, and bushy than plants under HIDs because they aren't looking for more or better light."

I have two led lights from sane vendor. I am looking at yours for another. I have one 3x3 grow tube and one 3X3square gro room. I am on my second gro. Everyone says to place lights 20-24 inches above canapy. I am confused. I am educated and read a lot. Why should I purchase your grow light. I am interested in black dog-based on mr. tight. I am lookibg for either two 300 watts for a4x6 area. Any suggestions?

Hello Terry,
There are many reasons why you should try our lights; we've got a pretty good short list here and a more exhaustive list here, but the best way to really see just how well our grow lights work is to see for yourself! We have a 90-day return policy, so you have 3 months to try one out and see for yourself just how much better they grow than your existing LEDs.
For a 4x6 foot area, 2 of our BD360-U (340 watts each) would work but be less than what we would normally recommend. 2 of our BD450-U lights (450 watts each) would probably be just about ideal, or if you really wanted to maximize lighting, 2 of our BD700-U (600 watts each) would do that.
Each size of our lights has a slightly different recommended hanging height above the plants, which can be found on the product description page for the particular light- just choose the light size from the list here. The recommended hanging height is just below the footprint coverage image.
