Lighting Tech pros opinions wanted

I’m looking to buy some led lights. I’m stuck between the black diamond perfect sun max or the migro 600 what’s better? I’m also open to suggestions penetration is important

Maximum penetration means a lot of light sources, which means your best choice is QB or strips.

Ok I’ll give you some more details I run a 2.4mx1.2m tent I’m looking to run 2x lights around 600w I currently run hps but want to move to led for reduced heat and the idea a 600led can compete with a 1000w hps is attracting. The led migro looks good to me but I was watching grow pot cheaply talk about penetration and I’m not sure wether the migro 600 is on par with his light now. So if you have a specific light in mind that would be great or if you know what better suits my needs from the original lights that too would help thanks

I know reading sucks but remember your light is the typically the single most expensive purchase in your grow and one of the most important. With that being said out of the two lights you just suggested the black diamond one seems iffy. No ppfd maps or true figures, just talking about thier "perfect" spectrum. Which is just gimmick marketing. The Migro 600 seems a lot more reasonable... But that price is steep at $1200. For that much I would look at something like or even one of there smaller models depending on your needs.
