Led Lights

Hey Furry, I use the California Light Works SS440 which is replaced by the SS550. It's a great light for a 4x4 IMO and it's made in the USA with a nice warranty, 3 or 5 years I think. It's nice to see the CLW lights are in the list for efficient lighting.
 
I would surely like to get into the state of the art LED grow light options BUT just can't afford such an investment as a 1 crop per year hobbyist. My choice was 2 of the VIPARSPECTRA PAR600 600W - Model: PAR600 at $ 220.00 each. Bought directly from Vipar. They seem to be working very well and importantly control the heat efficiently. The packaging, manual, warranty and general support has been 1st class.Would prefer real sunlight but here I am. :) Plants appear happy and thriving.

Good luck.

I use a 600w full spectrum Colofocus in my 2X3X5' tent. I paid $60 for it and it works great. It uses 96 LEDs. I'm growing 2 white widows and a clone in there as we speak
 
On my first grow with a Kind L600. It is 600W equivalent and draws 290 from the wall. I have it in a 4x2. The buds at the top of the screen are really fattening up with a lot of resin building everywhere. Even the lower buds are getting hardened up. Seems to penetrate well.
 
what I'm suggesting is that using a higher efficacy is the key to getting more light from each watt.
 
I was thinking about it, but not sure how to do it yet without making it too messy. I want to actually look into the cheaper products and make a list for consumers that are after more affordable products. But because they are less efficient than standard technology, manufacturers almost never provide metric data to analyze them. They likely all have the data, as you have to work this out before actually putting designs to prototypes. But they know it will make their product look inferrior, because it is. So it requires i look at end user results and reviews to analyze them. Very difficult. I might create an entire article for light product recommendations.
 
I bought it because they stated true watts on it and had the graph of the spectrum. If it is it is, if it ain't it ain't....lol. As long as it does a good job
 
Ahh so much work though ^.^

I tell you what, you make a thread asking people to post their most recommended LED brand (under $600), and il use that data to compile a list and start the research.
