What's your budget and what size area are you planning on using?

Do not get anything blurple
Full spectrum
Make sure it has atleast 2.5umol/j efficiency
You will want to look at the PPFD spread on a PPFD map; if the product does not supply one, it is likely not worth the money.
You want atleast 600 PPFD or PAR for flower.

Junk. Avoid blurples. Avoid any light that tries to sound bigger than it is, 30 - 35 real watts per sqft is where you wanna be with a quality "white" LED.

Not to be insulting but that is a really poor light, junk. I'd run it with all diodes (red and blue) and max power always.

I'd send those back. What's your budget?
And why Amazon. I don't trust Amazon much anymore.

The white one (maxisun) isn’t that bad. It’s basically a knock off spiderfarmer. The red/purple one sucks.

There are a lot of great lighting options out there, not exactly sure who makes the best light for a 3x3 space but 35 watts per sqft and a 3500k white spectrum are things to look for. Feel free to run any light you look at by us before you buy it and we can help determine if it's a good move and perhaps propose better options. I am sure there are some users that will show us the good options for a 3x3, it's just a smaller footprint than I have looked into. HLG Quantum boards and the like are badass. Some LED lights wanna be ran closer than others too so look at that when you are choosing a light. Some wanna be at 6-12 inches from the canopy where others it's >28 inches. Decide what works best for you and your space.

That is a way better light. You can probably search the journals section and find growers running that light and see their results. One thing I did notice is that light is best for a rectangular footprint, 2x4' in flower. So that might not be the best for your 3x3 space.
Shit, just make a thread asking about best LED for a 3x3 thats $XXX or less as per your budget. There are a lot of guys in the LED section that can be very helpful. The only LED's that I have been looking at with any detail are larger footprint.

That maxisun you ordered is probably pretty similar to that.
