Help me pick the right light

[budelee]

im currently using HID lighting and would like to switch to led,problem is since I don't know much about how led's compare to each other I don't know which one to pick
I grow in coco in 16sf /1.4sm areas( separate veg/bloom) sometimes I grow tall strains that would need good light penetration to say 4 feet /121cm.I use the full area for a max of 6 plants.
I would appreciate any recommendations you all have if you grow in a similar space/size plants.
I was looking at the Mars Pro II Cree 256,but I am open to suggestions @ Ripper @db003 @MarshydroTina ,anyone else using Mars led's care to chime in ?? Thanks guys I know these ? Have prolly been asked 1mil times

well your gonna need some serious lighting power for a 4x4....your switching from HID because of heat? I think youll want something thats meant to replace a 1000w hid.

Thank you for that info @db0003,if I recall right you recently bought yours..Hmm your the secon person I know about that's having issues with them,if ya don't mind me asking how big is your area and how many plants do you grow per light??

 

[TomAuto]

Thanks @TomAuto i forgot to put that I currently am using 600 HPS and MH,one of each for veg and bloom cause I run perpetual,some ratings for the 600 range from 3.5x3.5 -6.5x6.5 ,i have been able to keep temps somewhat in check as long as I control the canopy,but I've heard the light wave penetration is better,and sometimes my plants do get 4foot + in height..

I would also recommend the Pro II Epistar 320, more powerful and full spectrum. Cree version doesn't have full spectru, also it is not that powerful. It is already more expensive when using less chips. Hope this helps.

I have looked at the specs and think this will be the light I choose,thanks for your help everyone!!!
