Best Led Light for Full Grow Cycle?

I want to do an indoor grow and am torn between which LED light would work best. The lights that I am considering are a Pro-Grow 260, Procyon 100, and a Blackstar 240. I really like the Pro-Grow because it has a selective swich so that you can change the red and blue spectrum being emmited. I like the Procyon because I saw a grow journal on another site with it a few years back and the guy had amazing veg state results, that being said he only tried flowering under it for two weeks and called it quicks because of slow growth. But that was in 08 or so so maybe they have developed a better light? And as for the Blackstar I really dont know much about it but havent heard anything but good results on this website. Any advice would be greatly appriciated expecially from someone who has any experience with any of these lights. Only thing I dont wanna hear about is people hating on LEDs, cause i have already decided Im getting one and dont care, and people trying to sell their LEDs, just some advice. Thanks.:bigjoint:

KushMan, out the 3 you mention, I would recommend the Pro-Grow 260.
Stay away from the Blackstar, as you will be kicking yourself in a few months if you buy it.
The Procyon is great for veg (as are most LED's in general), but seems to be lacking in the flowering stage (as you mentioned).
I speak from experience as I have done exhaustive research on the subject of LED lights and own several of them myself (ProSource).
As far as inexpensive LED grow lights, Hydroponics Hut currently seems to be the way to go.
 
Thanks Karma, from what I can tell I wanted to go with the Pro-Grow but wasnt entirely sure. The selective switch is what I really like about it, but I could never find any grow journals with it or anyone saying they had ever used it before. Im definatly starting to lean towards it for sure.

Kushman read as much of the LED users unite thread as you can stomach. If has a lot of info.. MANY people have done a great deal of research and reached different conclusions. Suffice it to say that you will find strong support for both average and superior products. For what it is worth my experience with blackstar has been excellent.

Wish I'd seen this sooner, as I had a grow and a half done with a Pro-Grow with great results. How did yours turn out?
