I'm no expert on eyes or eye problems but I do recommend folks get eye protection when adding UV to their grows. UV and eyes don't play well together (as you can read from the quote and link above).

Thanks Sniper in the 5x5 is a AC Infinity ion frame Evo 8 730 watts- 44''x44'' with 4 plants under it & the UVA lights are 4 AC Infinity ion beam U4 and are 11'' long each with 1 over each plant & supposed to be 40 watts each they're kinda hard to see in the pics i didn't have them turned on

i'm only at 70% in the 5x5 i have a spider Farmer SE5000 480 watts in the 3x3 at about 80% with 2 plants then i had to make a grow room out of the closet with 1 plant under a ViparSpectra XS 1500 Pro & had to give away 1 plant, hydro meter is spinning pretty fast Lol! but this grow is better than i thought it would be so the next grow will be a bit smaller, i should be well stocked till next fall & be able to give away a bit to friends

Yeah i do Samsung has been a industry leader but there are also some other quality LED companies maybe one of them bought Samsungs LED division or Samsung has something better in the works
The long awaited plasma arc thingamajig?
That's sounds like something that will grow your plants at "warp" speed!
Here's a little info I found today. I found that very interesting myself, so I wanted to check it out:

Thanks LC that explains it better, still lots of options out there & i'm sure light manufactures are already finding a good replacement
Maybe, I've never looked into how HID lights actually work since I never planned on using them. I read something that indicated that fluorescent lights are a type of low pressure arc lighting.
But a few years ago when people were still arguing over whether or not LEDs could outperform HID some of them were talking about a type of plasma light that was still being researched and refined that had the potential to outperform pretty much everything.
That might have been stoners talking about something they heard about on Star Trek though. That's happened before.

a plasma light is basically a light which is produced with out a filoment such as metal halide, high-pressure sodium, and mercury vapor.
