What should I do with the 13W LED Bulbs I rcvd with grow package

[mcadamjw]

Hello All,

I am trying to determine if even using these free lights that were provided is even worth it? I purchased a yield lab tent 48x48x78 from grow ace as part of the 600watt grow specialist package. As part of the package they gave me 2 13W LED Full spectrum bulbs which it says can supplement the lighting of my 600W HPS+MH Air Cooled Hood Reflector.

The didnt provide any type of fixtures for these bulbs and I am wondering its worth trying to find some clip on type of light fixture like this? LUMAPRO Clamp On Light, 150 W - Temporary Job Site Light Heads - 2V647|2V647 - Grainger Industrial Supply

Will this help my crop and would I use both of the LED lights on same schedule as my main hood? Im really trying to figure out what they were included for and since I have them should i put use to them or will it not help anything?

Do you have any other information on the bulbs? It's possible that they my supplement the spectrum and help to some degree. You would want them on at the same time as your HPS light though.

So they are not full spectrum. They are red and blue only "T" leds. They won't grow much, but the addition to the MH or HPS spectrum with them will hit wavelengths that those lights do not hit well themselves. I wouldn't put them more than 18" from the plant, they simply do not have the flux to be efficient.
