Athosanswered grow question 5 years ago Your new QB light is hands down much better. This late into the grow is doubtful that it will have any significant impact in your yield and it could stress your plants. Now what are the benefits of the QB compared to low quality LEDs? Low quality LEDs, almost always over drive the leds, giving you more watts, but less efficiency, putting out more heat and lowering the life expectancy of your unit. For example, I have a DIY light currently driven to 100 watts, but I could set it to consume 150 watts, but for a gain of only 20% more light.
