OK, long story short.
I need an upgrade my indoor lights for my babies (list is in my signature). Also I have a seedlings popping out everywhere (10 VFT, 30+ Drosera) so I need to expand. And my babies getting eaten by something outside and I think I will move them all back indoors.
I don't know anything about LED lights so guys/girls, who uses LED lights or know anything about it. PLEASE< PLEASE help me to pick the right one for my plants.

y kids now on summer holiday and I don't want to go shopping for lights with all 5 of my kids, so I am stuck with online purchase and... I want to get away financially, find cheaper but not the worst quality. This is my hobby not business so... HELP PLEASE :oops:
I found those on ebay (first place to start and go from here)

I am still loking for a bit more expensive ones, but I am limited in space and finances. I can maximise my space up to 26in X 13in
All help, advises and rocks towards LED light are appriciated. Thank you

I'm not sure if the 14 watt led is strong enough. I don't currently use led's so somebody with led experience will have to let you know for sure. I use T5 flouresents and love the results. Here's a link to one at Home Depot with free shipping and handling that would be perfect for your space http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R ... reId=10051. I use one that's just like it except mines a four foot long version.
