Of course this may vary by species, but in general I have found it to be a useful pest control measure to convert MH fixtures to HPS when possible.
Does anybody have any experience or knowledge of how the new LED fixtures compare? Aside from all the other benefits such as reduced energy consumption, longer lamp life, better color rendition, etc., do they tend to attract more, or fewer, bugs than the other conventional types of lamps??
