   >"Yeah I understand all that...  I'll be working with high power LEDs; the   
   idea is to simulate sunlight and grow herbs and vegetables indoors."   
      
   Herbs, yeah, gotcha...   
      
   I believe LEDs cannot replace those big 400 watt bulbs. The LEDs are getting   
   good, with white ones having phosphors now, but I doubt you'll ever get the UV   
   out of them.    
      
   Yeah I tried to grow some herbs. I had 1,200 watts of lights and a similar   
   amount of air conditioning to not melt the house down. However all my herbs   
   turned out to be male. So a $400 a month electric bill got me nothing. Later I   
   "used" the herbs myself    
   because nobody else would want them.
