Depends on your situation...what size grow space do have, how many plants, how much are you wanting to spend on the lights, etc...?

Based on your answers, I have a few suggestions in mind.

20 feet by 20 feet? That's a pretty large space, going to need quite a few panels to cover that much...i grow with advanced led lights which I love and they have a badass true 740w panel...theyre pretty expensive compared to the ones you listed but will also likely be more powerful and should cover a larger area.

Also look into blackdog leds, they have some high wattage models that I'm intrigued by as well, their platinum xl and bd1300 will likely do you well.

I do believe you are going to need multiple panels for your setup to cover that large of a space. The lights I recommended are some of those companies' biggest, baddest, and most expensive lights...you can always go with a lot more of their smaller units as well and possibly get more coverage and flexibility that way.

actually i say different. 100W of quality LED will replace 600Whps

the problem is, not in that ratio. see the efficiency increases beyond your wattage as your number of lights go up. in order for 100W led to replace 600w hps, you need to do a comparison of say a room with 3 600W hps conmpared to a room of 3 100W led

this is because overhead lights are inneficient at lighting the lower branches, where as led can be angled and manuevered for optimum placement.

hard to explain, but you get the jist. proper placement will substantially increase your yeild,

I would certainly do more research. I can't comment on the other two as I haven't used their products but BlackStar are a very dubious company. I'd be wary of the product quality. The tell a lot of lies in their sales material. There product is made in China (nothing wrong with that), contrary to all their sales propaganda. The don't use CREE chips in their lights. CREE don't make Red or Blue LED for PAR output.

I'm obvously going to steer you towards the product I help develop. If nothing else the site will give you a lot of good information.

Have a look at www.futureledgrowthtechnology.com. These lights are aimed specifically for commercial growers. If you need any advice, even if you wish to go elsewhere, feel free to email me at [email protected]

One piece of advice. 100W LED light WILL NEVER replace a 400W or 600W HPS. Anyone telling you otherwise is talking complete rubbish. When we do commercial installations we use a MINIMUM replacement ratio of 1:2. There 300W LED to replace 600W HPS. This is your minimum. Keep this in mind and you won't go too far wrong.

Best of luck

Very nice design on your LED's.
There is a big debate going on between using 1w, 2w, 3w Leds. I see your lights use 1w and claim a better efficiency on the light. I will agree with you.

But I also read there are quite a few advantages of using 2w and 3w diodes.

Nonetheless, Beautiful design. Should be a hit in the UK.

What are you basing this list on? People using blackstars seem to love them, blackdog looks pretty proven to me...and you left out a bunch of grower approved ones too
