Led question ????

New to L.E.D as well, went with the morsen 600w. Seems to be doing the job. Just about 2 weeks old so it's getting the job done. Mine was around 100$. It being 1000w for under I'm not sure...many people say drop a nice gold bar on a expensive .l.e.d. but I'm sure what u have will suffice for 2 plants if u choose to buy it. U can always add cfl's for extra lighting. Good luck!!

I've used this on multiple grows so far and it's been amazing. If you're not going to use HLG boards then I recommend this highly. Check out my journals if you want to see it in action. If you want the best though, I suggest going HLG boards. Cant get much better.

 

suggest you look at meizhi led / there very good there are many grows on here with pictures . i personally used 1 in flower and veg . meizhi led grow light | eBay
buy 4 / 300 watt units or two 600 or the 1200 / in your space please do not forget about the led glasses required with these or you will regret it later . .LED Grow Room Glasses UV Protection Eyewear HID Grow Lamp Optic Color correction 600740986864 | eBay

 

I assume by your link in pounds that you're in Europe. Talk to this GC user.

He's got sources for high end leds in the UK for cheap. Don't go knock off Chinese.

 

That sounds a bit too good to be true tbh mate. 550 watt for less than 90 quid just doesnt sound genuine. I use mars which are about as cheap as it gets and theyre still £130 for a 270w panel. If its genuine it could produce a half kilo per square metre. But for 90 quid id be surprised if its real.

many led lye about there specks . the meizhi specks are accurate .

 

check this out you all know mars hydro . there led work and have many real reviews . so your telling me those cheap china cobs are the same as this Mars COB 100W LED Grow Light Kit Indoor Plants Full Spectrum Hydroponics Flower 686494405851 | eBay . there is no way . i trust mars hydro actual well know brand /. cobs are not cheap . here is tymber well know on here Timber Grow Lights i bet the power supplies are total crap in those china cob units and the cobs will burn out in a few weeks look how big that power supply is on the mars . where is the power supply on the china ?

 

the single 100 watt mars does the same area as the cheap ass china cob . that is expose to be 1800 watts
hmmmmmmm ???????? lol

 

Im a mars hydro addict guys.
Got 6 x old model 600s with another 2 of them on the way.
Ive had them tested by a sparky and they are the claimed 270w +/-5

All bought from mars hydro via amazon and the first 2 i had tested were 545w actual draw between them so i kept the warrantee for the rest but ive got no questions as to the honesty of mars hydro.

Theres a mars hydro grow thread on here somewhere actually.
Ill probably remember to look in an hour or so lol. Ill tag it in when i do itz hiti heavy mow pfftt

He's referring to those 1000w or higher ebay leds you see that are actually like 130 watts. Same wattage as the mars300.

 

That light posted in the first link actually looks promising. It has small qb style cobs. I've never seen one exactly like it before. I would still talk to onthemooch and get a few of his boards. I've owned mars, platinum, california lightworks, and quantum boards based on samsung lm561c diodes. The qb's are by far the best at growing efficiency as far as grams per watt and efficiency of output as in how much area they can cover for bloom using how many watts. All of those other brands take 25% more power at least to cover the same area.

Get the best leds you can get. Those board aren't expensive. If you DIY they're a little above knock off Chinese light prices per actual watt.
