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?
 
Thanks for the response. The specs for the lights are listed below the link to the item I have.

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.
