Expensive

GELcore

I finally got hold of Bill Kroll, VP of marketing for GELcore. While they weren't particularly interested in developing a grow light, he gave two names of his customers that use their LEDs that probably would.

 

Opto Technology

Tom Heckburg of Opto Technology, 847-537-4277, is sending me a packet of info outlining their engineering costs and capabilities. He "guestimated" about $3,000 to come up with an engineering prototype with pricing determined by the number of units they can reasonably expect to sell.

 

Dialight

Gary Durgin, VP of marketing of Dialight, 732-528-8910, is going to meet with his engineers about the project. They have an existing application in traffic light LED systems that may have LED and design specs similar to a grow light. As busy as they are, he said he would get back to me in 3-4 weeks.

So between the three of them, I may be able to coerce, err, encourage a viable and hopefully cost effective LED growlight system.
