Lighting which LED

[spliffy82]

Hi people, I want to know, which LED light is the best for PAR/M2 for the price? ??

I have 2 mars Hydro 300 Watt full spectrum panels and for $200 I believe your getting more than you pay for which is rare. Im sure there are tons of panels that cost more and are trully better made, but from what I hear there are really only three producers of LED components and most lights have General Electric parts. For the price the Mars Hydro Line is hard to beat and they absolutely work.


I had to share this project. Its a Japanese farmer who teamed up with GE to farm with LED tech. on a factory scale. Impressive!

The MarsHydro 300w (older model with 100 x 3-watt LEDs) is now even cheaper than you cite. I just ordered one for only $87.99 (with free shipping) off Ebay (US) from EasyHydro, which sells Mars LEDs for less than Mars ($95.99 on Ebay). See http://www.ebay.com/itm/MarsHydro-3...Full-Spectrum-Hydroponic-Plants-/151374521551. With over 3000 sales from this Mars LED-only seller, the product mature and well-known, the seller having 99.9% 'positive feedback' and at this cost, I figured how can you go wrong?

A decent 300-W LED for about or less than the cost of most 90 and 180-watt UFO-style LEDs! I'll be using it to supplement a 900-watt light.

It is even possible that EasyHydro is actually Mars, with both companies reported by Ebay as shipping from the same location (San Leando, CA) and their Ebay entries sharing some common graphic elements.
