I’ve done some pretty good research on light coverage, whether that be during veg, where the spread seems to be more forgiving, where as bloom/flower poses a totally different predicament, and this is where my concern/interest hovers. Hanging distances, PAR, full spectrum, blah blah blah blah. Obviously the big boys such as Mars, HLG, Hydro, Spider and Vipar just to name a few in no particular order, seem to be the most mentioned in terms of recommendations, but does this make them the best because their advertising is the strongest?
I’ve seen some pretty decent looking LEDS with comparable specs mentioned above, but they don’t seem to get much attention or reviews because no one knows, or even heard of them. Kind of like a band that sounds better than 90% of the stuff you hear on the radio, but because they are new, or don’t have the level of exposure as the big wigs, no ones ever heard of them. So is exposure the defining line between good and bad? I’d like to think not.
I’m looking for non biased opinions here that don’t have anything to gain by mentioning what everyone already knows or heard about. Personal experience with these unheard of gems that just need to break the surface to gain popularity, and maybe 1 day become a household name of their own, not just because they have the money to advertise, but because the product speaks for its self is what I’m after.
Please feel free to chime in.
