I'm getting ready to ditch the led's that I am now using and will be looking at probably everything available out there. I'm looking for advice/input from growers that have used their lights trouble free for at least a year. I'll consider anything but we can keep Mars out of this discussion. Thanks. Pipes
Lighting Advice needed

I flat-out love my lumigrow Pro LEDs I've been using the lumigrow brand for 4 years now and most of my lights are purchased used.
Lumigrow has put out a PDF telling you how to tune their lights at different stages of growth they've determined that turning off all your red for 2 to 3 days before Harvest increases the terpene production.
That light drawers 310 watts and I grew a 17 ounce Durban Poison in a 3 by 3 by 7 foot tent. I also won plant of the month with an 11 ounce blackberry kush grown under one of these lights. She's also grew a 14 oz chemdoggin.
Best to hold 30 inches above your plants with these lights any closer and you get photo inhibition.
Hey thanks Jingo. I haven't looked at this one yet but will now

Dude don't be a fool!! With so much Diy options available its blasphemy to give 400$ for led..
For 300$ i got 4x 3070 3500k cree driven at 1400 meanwhel driver ,i put 4 active pc coolers on it, add metal frame and voila!! that 300$ is final price..
Go to diy section..And yes if you have knowledge find some IMT dude or electrician to set it up for you ,like i did..
Or even better citizen is cheaper that that you can use it too..
or you can go this way..

Two diy like this would be killer for 1m2
Anything with efficient cobs. This is the answer that I hope millions will read and consider.
DIY is the best option but it is not for everyone. There are plenty of cob options available but I would stay the heck away from eBay. Look at efficiency like gas mileage. Specific Cobs get 50+ mpg and most eBay lights get closer to 20+ mpg. The light output from a good cob like Cree or citizen is the best and only way to cost effectively add more efficient light into a space.

Maybe I should think about DIY cob @BigSm0 .. I know we have talked about some LED companies but, I'm willing to invest in some kick ass DIY lights for a 5x5. Could probably drop 500$-$600 ..
Now your talking. Get the most for your money by going with cobs. DIY is another way to save. For a kick ass 5x5 id go with 9 citizen 1812's . 450 watts that would probably fall within your budget and turn the space into a jungle
