Kind XL1000 LED Review
Kind XL1000 LED Growlight Review
This is an amazing product from Kind LEDs that is supposedly the equivalent of a 1000w HID or Metal Halide light.
This light is good to cover a 4x4 or a 5x5 growing area. A friend of mine in California uses this same light to cover a 5x5 growing area and he does very well growing bud. Some people say you need a bit of supplemental light in the corner if you go with a 5x5 box, but it doesn’t seem like my friend had any kind of problems without it.
He averages between 1 and 1.4 pounds with his 5x5 box growing between 5-6 plants at a time.
The Kind LED puts off minimal heat, and that makes it perfect for warmer climates like Southern California.
There are many features with the Kind XL1000, but some complain that it is too complicated to work. Watching YouTube videos will help all of this. Here are some of the feautures:
Built in timer
Dusk to Dawn nature mimic mode- you can turn this mode on to slowly adjusts the intensity of the light when it is turned on and then slowly turn the intensity down as it is about to turn off. This is more natural than flipping a light on and off and is said to help the plant in it’s development.
Spectrum control- change the reds, blues, and whites and make yourself a custom spectrum schedule to give your plant exactly what it needs, when it needs it.
3w and 5w diodes- most LED lights are composed of only 3w diodes but Kind throws in the 5’s to increase the intensity and effectiveness with this light.
Remote control- change the settings of the light without having to physically touch the light itselfz
Infrared spectrums- helps the trichomes of the plant explode!
Another benefit of this light is the fact that it only draws just over 600w of electricity. While maintaining the ability to yield as much as an HPS light, it drops the the bill if replacing a non-led equivalent.
This is a great light that comes highly recommended. The only drawback is the high price tag, but this pays for itself when you think about the longevity of LEDs and savings on electricity.
To the moon,
this seems to be great for that purpose wow
Great but there is any disadvantage point in such a project because you didn't mansion
Its a fantastic project @bwells. Kind LED's such amazing creativity. Thanks for gave review.
That sounds like a very impressive light set.
Thanks for sharing.
Deserve for the rocks parties. Multi coloring usage perfect. Just awesome lights.
Right on! Led is ecofriendly
Nice photography..good luck succes always.
with a very beautiful color.
thank you friends have shared
Damn that actually seems like a pretty dope light. My friends and I throw parties a lot with not the greatest light so many I'll try to convince them to invest...
I will agree that Kind builds a nice light but with their price tag it remains out of the reach of most people. I have owned many different leds throughout the last 5 years and I have totally went to DIY.
If you are looking for some serious grow power for the money I would suggest looking at Horticulture Lighting Groups DIY quantum boards. I have purchased several of them now from HLG themselves originally and the last 3 boards I bought from Growers Lights.
The prices are the same either way and Growers Lights has super fast shipping and reliable over the phone service if needed. If you are in the need for a good grow light check them out. These lights are somewhat crude in comparison to the Kind lights but if you just want to grow some plants and save some money check out the quantum's!
Peace,

Would this be ok for cooler climates? I suspect uou would beed to create some additional micro climate control for a cooler environment.
I had seen a lot of bleaching from these being used but again probably down to custom settings. A great feature might I add.
