Lighting Choosing the right LED

[koxbox]

My local store have led from these brands:

SunBlast
Apollo 4
Budmaster
Cultiite

Which one to consider, or any brand from this list to avoid. I'm newbie in LED, so far i liked how small the 200/400 led panels from SunBlast where.

Money is not the issue, and long i get good result and safety (risk of fire).

Cheers

I suggest you take a look at cob lights, like the ones available from www.cobshop.net. I have the ready to hang 3500K and love the performance. Whats great about the cob lights is their low electrical draw, low heat throw, very efficient, especially when compared to traditional mass built led lights, small and easy to move, no noise.

Thanks for your reply. Didn't know about this cob thing. From what i saw now some of the vendors have cob light

I agree, cob is where its at for led. Invest your money on good components and you never have to worry about light again, unless you expand lol

Budmaster looks like a good choice, it uses good chips brand, but its design is not special. Apollo is much cheaper but not make sure its quality can compete with other famous cheap brand such as Mars Hydro...

DIY. You can build it better and cheaper... check out the DIY section. You won't be able to hit the quality for the $$.

Too many variables to give anything helpful...blurple? Full spectrum? Distance from canopy? Size of plant? health of plant...etc... personally any grow under 1 gm per watt needs an overhaul(1.5g up makes me smile) but requires light and space to be maximized.
All this is based on running the right # of plants to maximize your space, on a single plant grow, I'd probably hope to hit 60g dry and maybe get lucky with a larger haul.
