Thanks for all the replies. I did my research and have no confidence in LEDs...will upgrade to 1000 hps in the near future.

I do have confidence in LED in the future. Those new street light that there putting in Hummm?., I bet those will work. I do cut the cost in electricity by using LED or CFL in seedling & Vegetable stage, Not good for flowering, CFL and LED are very good for clones, seedlings, Vegetable stage, Pre/Flowering stage. then after the plant stops growing 2 to 3 weeks into flowering then I add the Big boy H.I.D. 400W H.P.S. Closer you can get to a Magenta Spectrum is best for plants. I use the H.P.S. with 2100K Spectrum very RED, then I also have 125w Apollo 6400K Daylight. Dual Spectrum is always best for flowering for a yield booster. I also would not use a 1000w you can get more light, closer to plants, More ground cover with two 400w H.P.S. than a 1000w H.P.S. I obsolete my 1000w when I saw what two 400w can do.

Happy New Years and Happy grows

HTG Supply's has the best prices for new Magnetic and Digital HID blast. I'm so far happy with HTG Supply and Apollo.

I have a 600w digital dimmable HID light that I switch MH/HPS and also several LEDs, both have awesome features, if going with LED go with a good company and try to avoid the blurple spectrum lights they don't produce good density high quality buds like red / white spectrum LED's do.

I like reading through these old threads. Its amazing how far LEDS have come now. The same LED technology that was costing $100 back in 2014 you can get now for a couple hundred bucks.
