    There's such a great variation in quality of LED lights that you can't go by wattage rating alone. First of all what is the square footage of your grow?

    What brands are you looking at? I am a big fan of Advanced LED which is an American company that stands behind their product with service. Their lights use lenses which focus the light energy down onto the plants where it's needed the most.

    There are other brands but you should probably spend at least a couple hours researching reviews of lights that are detailed and include PAR and other metrics beside wattage. A single stat only gives you a vague idea of what a light is capable of producing.

    If you go with a cheaply made import that has no service behind it or actual testing on which to base its claimed effectiveness, then you're going to be disappointed in the yields and quality.
