If anyone wants to spend that much money they might be interested in plasma light sources as an alternative to LED

Just to be clear ... I always use the draw wattage when talking about LEDs. The other number is silly.
1000 watts of LED will produce more PAR than 1000 watts of HID - that's a fact - and it's PAR umols we want, so LEDs are more efficient and much cooler.
As CC pointed out, cooling isn't really an issue in a commercial grow in a large building, so LED's one great advantage is lost on the big growers. But in a small hobby grow, it makes some sense. HID are Hot. So as a hobbyist, I'm able to justify not only switching to LED, but nearly doubling the power from 600 watts hps to 1000 watts LED. This way I should get quality and yield. If not, I have an old 400 watt CMH I'm itching to try in a CMH/LED hybrid - center CMH with LEDs in the corners.
You meant to say H.I.D. means more heat , right?
But an HID with a good vented hood is still less expensive than a comparable LED panel.
LED manufacturers should update their enclosures to allow for venting.
For some reason when I was younger, the only time I would roll joints was after a basketball game, on the dash of my little truck, for the ride home. For the most part I was a pipe on the road bongs at home kinda guy. The more I've met people, the more I've smoked joints, and since I've been growing, I love rolling a fatty.
