250w HPS or 300w LED

[Datakeova420]

250wHPS or 300w LED? definitely the LED. 1. you can control heat very easily 2. a 300w LED is equivalent to a 1000wHPS.
they arn't really a comparison for each other because one can grow 3-4 plants and the other can grow around 16 plants
also the price difference is pretty big $220 for a 250w and around a $1000 for a 300w LED. hope this helps in decision making. i would definitely go for a 400w and then when you get the funds stick a couple 250w on each side and you'll be golden for 10-12 decent plants. happy growing!

Thanks yea I'm leaning towards 400w with cooltube...how is the 300w LED equivalent to a 1000W hps with it's little lumen output?

cause correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the LED give out a total lumen output of 11,500???

a 1000 watt hps has around 90,000 lumen output, that is much more than the LED

exactly so how is a 300w LED equivalent to a 1000w HPS....i don't see it being in competition with even a 400w HPS...but I'm looking at a 400w Ceramic Metal Halide...which seems to B better than both...such a big decision...just want to make the right one

Yea def looking into 400w Ceramic Metal Halide w/ cooltube...
