The porn shop job was to add R&D money to my already meager R&D budget set forth by my investors. Now that they're putting more money into R&D since they see that I know what I'm doing and can do it with a very modest increase in funding, I quit the porno shop job.
Yes, we can do 60w per square meter. See we have light-moving technology. And the iteration in that video is actually 90w using older-gen LED tech. If we were to use something on the class of the MK-R LED but tuned for growth, we'd hit likely 45w consumption to light up that whole area. Many plants don't need the light shining steadily upon them at full intensity.
See, some crops don't respond very well to large levels of light. Those types of crops such as leafy crops (basil, lettuce, the wheatgrass you saw growing under practically zero light in the prior video) tend to bolt at higher light levels and go to shit as far as a commercially usable product goes. Also, under targeted LED, plants tend to pack more nutrition in them per unit of fertilizer, simply because of the enhanced action.
"Last I looked there where something like 2 reds, 2 greens and 2 blues. Nothing like complete spectrum coverage"
LED lighting is more efficient photosynthetically than sunlight, due to targeted-wavelength action.
That's why we're moving to LED. What takes the sun 1,000w per square meter for growing a crop we can do with like 60w per square meter, which means we can stack these systems atop each other and what takes sunlight one acre of land to produce we can do with LED and 1/10th of an acre.
Smart people use solar to power their LEDs and use the excess power to run atmospherics and pumps, like my UK testing facility.
Oh, and some crops, no light needed at all - like this
Smart people know what wavelengths and how much photon flux crops need and only give them that.
Also, smart people know that outdoor gardening is typically ungodly wasteful, especially when it comes to water and fertilizer.
Easily an older farmer could do it. This is one of the huge benefits of things like vertically-stacked hydroponics systems utilizing LED (and in some cases, no light at all.) Less physical stress, conservation of resources, lowered operating costs, higher yields, and faster ROI.
We've had systems available for a couple of years, now. A company I contracted with in the UK builds such systems.
This is our testing facility, but you can get a production facility very similar to this one for just shy of a quarter-million dollars, and you can have that paid back within a year and a half for typical crops (and the first harvest for legal/medical marijuana crops.)
There's only demand for LED in marijuana from smart people. Stupid people all over cannabis forums go "HPS HAS MORE LUMENS!" when the MK-R is pushing 200+ lumens per watt and an HPS at best only does roughly 140-150, and even then, lumens per watt doesn't matter for plants.
If manufacturers would get smart and tune these for horticultural applications you could see these taking over growing facilities and home-based greenhouses and gardens. Imagine a screw-in array of these, controllable over wi-fi, to adjust their spectrum to mimic seasonal changes and light emissions?
Of course, nobody's listening to me. Such a shame, too. So many LED ideas, capable of turning the entire optoelectronic industry head-over-heels, and nobody will even give me a serious 5 minutes of talk time.
"Another problem is LED's have circuits, and these circuits do NOT like winter or fall."
Liar. I've got a 12w PAR30-style LED bulb, with the lenses and lens plate removed to expose the entire board so it would act as a wide flood lamp, and it's survived not only being out on my back patio, unprotected except for hanging under a tiny overhang, for a year, but that light is now in service inside an actual store, right next to the back door.
It is at least three years old, now. Totally exposed. Not one problem.
I've got a 15w CreeMK-R sitting here, and at 6w (12V@500mA,) it's competing with ~100w of fluorescent lighting, plus my older than dirt 30w LED panel.
"Most LED lights in the price range we're discussing are built as simply as possible. They flicker like mad bastards, because the flicker is 60Hz."
Only the ones using PWM drivers do this. Those using constant current or a simple resistor to handle drive current simply do not flicker (and the ones using simple resistors for drive current regulation are simpler than the cheap PWM-powered ones.)
"I've bought so many LED lamps I get spam for them"
I'm not entirely sure that you're experienced enough in LEDs/optoelectronics to be able to judge a good one from bad.
"With all LED-solutions that I've seen so far, you need quite a few of them just to light one room"
This is a 15w LED driven at 6w. At full power, it would light my entire living room, dining room, and kitchen, if it were on the ceiling as opposed to ~2ft above my floor facing upwards.
You must not know shit about how HVAC typically works.
Since cool air falls and warm air rises, we take advantage of that by re-circulating cool air by sucking it in at floor-level intake vents.
As that gets pulled in, heat goes down locationally due to pressure.
Incandescent bulbs do generate a lot of heat. I would just run those all over the house to heat the place up, and ignore using the huge power-sucking electric heater.
Saved huge on my power bills sucking up only 3kWh instead of 30kWh every hour.
Depends on the crop. Most leaf crops like lettuces, basils, etc., grow excellently with roughly 1/8th the sun's intensity in just targeted spectrum, and thus the cost per square meter is quite low.
At 500mA, that's 6w. 6w nearly lights up (~2ft above the floor, pointed upwards) a 14' x 20' room. If this were on the ceiling, in the center, all of the kitchen would be included as well. At a full 15w that the MK-R is capable of handling, That would easily be the only light I'd need in that entire section of the house excepting some additional kitchen lighting. The bedrooms would EASILY be fine just using these at 6w, ditto the bathrooms.
What I've seen from Philips, not even close. I haven't seen anything even close from any other manufacturer that has given me samples of their supposed best. Cree won this round, and will likely continue to do so once they incorporate the new S3 tech into the MK-R line and push past 240 lumens per watt (when driven at 1w.)
Slashdot Mirror
In fact, Duke needed minimum a 66MHz 486 (or was that Shadow Warrior?)
And you'd only be able to run DOOM in low-detail mode emulating a 20MHz 486, as a 33 MHz 386 could barely run it.

Brutal Doom sucks.

" I know what PCMCIA dongles look like."
Considering the PCMCIA format isn't a dongle but a card, this blithering woman doesn't even need to be in the computer industry.
I guess this dumb broad's never listened to Chris Rock.
On top of that, she doesn't even know the definition of Racism.
I wonder what she'd think of affirmative action if she knew what the real definition of racism was.
The audio recording itself is a confession, especially when coming straight from the mouth of the accused.
"Key thing to remember: all we have here is an article claiming proof."
Perhaps you should've watched the BBC show where THEY PLAYED THE TAPES.
Quite funny you call people fucking morons when your own ignorance abounds. Who knows nothing, here? Looks like you, child.
Orrr, maybe we have better light waveguide building tech to put on the front of the panel.
Done it, plenty of times, all of them on youtube.

"Last I looked there where something like 2 reds, 2 greens and 2 blues. Nothing like complete spectrum coverage"
You haven't put a white LED under a spectrometer, then, in at LEAST 4 years. We've had output similar to blackbody radiation for years, now.
Got any more outdated information you'd like to share and have dispelled?

Protip: Those $50 LED grow lights don't work very well and aren't constructed for shit, and use low-binned diodes.
Source: I make LED growing panels to target different crops. That's one of my jobs.
Slightly more efficient?
Typical CFL - ~70-80 lumens per watt.
Cree MK-R LED - 200+ lumens per watt. At typical junction temps, 160+ lumens per watt.
And killer color rendering.
Hey, if you work at Cree, tell your people to get in touch with me so I can show you guys the next step in dominating the optoelectronic market.
Because, seriously, I have plans for your MK-R. And they are BIG.
"Cree and Philips are probably neck-and-neck for the lead position in the LED market."
Not even close, Cree wins. I just got hold of their MK-R diodes. At 100ma, not bad. At 300mA, it starts to hurt your eyes and it lights up fairly nicely. At 500mA you need to start shielding your eyes. Here's video of it, 500mA, lighting my nearly-dark living room/dining room. (camera auto-adjusted some, hence all the extra video noise and artificially-high starting light levels.)
At 500mA, that's 6w. 6w nearly lights up (~2ft above the floor, pointed upwards) a 14' x 20' room. If this were on the ceiling, in the center, all of the kitchen would be included as well. At a full 15w that the MK-R is capable of handling, That would easily be the only light I'd need in that entire section of the house excepting some additional kitchen lighting.
