[UpInSmoke]

About £350 and under

Most bang for your buck IMHO will be bysen led. Though they are Chinese lights and mine had a few issues with a fan and a driver, they did stand behind their warranty and mailed me out the needed parts , though I don't think the process was in a timely fashion, they followed through. Also fixing the light required hands of a child (damn children labors of china, smh) to work within the space, though my big ole goofy hands had to undo a wire harness to get it all back together again, the light is fine... This was for their sp110.... Just an idea brother... Good luck with your ladies... :karma Cloud:

90% of all LED grow lights are made in China by 20 manufacturers. I bought a pair of generic, Chinese made 300 watt LED lights. I paid $129 each for them. They have been running for a month now and the last few days, they are running 24/0. I like them and my plants like them. I check the fans daily because a fan failure could kill your light. I've ordered spare fans ( I'm getting computer case fans as that's what they use any way ) from New Egg for $7.50 each for good quality fans. I plan to change them after a year of use. cheap insurance I think.

I agree with Yoda. The Bysen's are legit. I switched from blackstar and hydrogrow and couldn't be happier with them.

I have heard good things about the solar flare from California Light Works

Also, the chloroba is quite expensive. Well over $1,000 last I checked.

I owning a Cali light solar flare (400w) I would not recommend them for the cost and considering how much "better" (it's all subjective half dozen of one half a dozen of the other) of a light you could get for the money going the china route... Just my :2cent:

Never heard of Bysen. Just looked at their web site and I like what I saw. Seems to be the "factory outlet" for Baeshing factory (the same way TopLED is the factory outlet for LG factory.).

I like that they provide the ratio of their spectrum. (I couldn't find their spectrum. Just the ratio. We kind of know red 630 is often referred to as orange. People who say "orange" will say "red" for deep-red which is 660. And then blue is normally 420-430. So, there's not a lot to assume about the spectrum compared to those who state the spectrum but not the ratio.).

I couldn't find them sold anywhere. Is this an AliExpress thing like Cidly? I'm a little nervous about AliE because it seems like it would be easy for someone to sell anything as a Bysen (or Cidly). No assurance it's the real thing. I like that aspect of TopLED (that it's more identifiable as the source for LG lights.).

Let me get this straight, just checked out the topled site and a 400w mars 2 with flowering spectrum is $280... It seems as shipping is free to the us? If so than this is a no brainer and I may soon have one myself at that price
