Lighting Which Would you choose?

[Magic]

I currently have a gn m0006 and looking to get another led this week but cant put out alot of money due to christmas coming up. but after xmas i can save up for another m0006! Im looking to spend about $180 max.(i know not alot but just need something to help out the m0006 just to max out my buds when flowering and was looking at these two lights and wondered which would you go with for now?
Both have epistar chips and decent light spectrums. I know the apollo brand is proven to work but the other brand has about 50 more watts for $20 cheaper. apollo is about 130w and the other brand is about 180w. i need 360w to optiumize my grow space(3x3x6) right now i got 430w, 180w of the the M0006 and 2x 125w cfls but i plan on taking them out once i get the led to keep it alittle cooler in the tent. here are the chocies.
"other Brand"
300W US Only Free shipping 300W Led grow light,led hydroponic light ,3years warranty for Medicinal plants growth and flowering-in Grow Lights from Lights & Lighting on Aliexpress.com
"apollo"
2013 3w full spectrum led grow lights 180w Apollo grow lights for free shipping-in Grow Lights from Lights & Lighting on Aliexpress.com
And if you say the apollo brand please explain why would be good to pay more for less watts not questioning your opinion just thought watts mean everyting.

Honestly just save up and get what you want after Xmas. Then you don't have to buy an extra.

Add a hps until you have more cash?

Or can't you mix the lights? Heat also I suppose.

All logic sates wait and don't buy cheap. I tried against y own judgement and burn money. Chinese are cheating little buggers from the 'ol communist regime, slowly and steady cleaning up their act.

SO yeah, yesteryear you wouldn't even get the parcel and get scammed, today you get the parcel but might get scammed in the internal. In very rare cases you get what you ask, but on the other side they have to think you are a hot shot expert.

So I sincerely suggest going ith an european/USA importer like GN or HGL. They take their time to research the proper internals and quality, give proper warranty (chinese will just sent replacement parts that are equally shittty), they do quality control and actual research on spectrum, efficiency, etc.

You can have 180w of 630nm and blues whatever, and bud out fine, or you can use 180w of proper spectrum and grow trees.
Surely, if you have the cash, go for proper LED, if not, HPS with cool tube? Either that or pack the place in with cfls

Sorry to be kind of redundant and going back to hps/cfl... but LEDS are still so expensive its not worth trying to cut corners.
