I cant choose which led light to buy for flowering. I have a 2x2 space in a closet with 1 plant. Right now I'm 3 weeks in veg. I have 3 42 watt cfls (6500k). for flowering I will have 4 42 watt cfls (2700k) and I want to add in an led. My budget is around $100-$150 for the led light. The ones i am looking at right now are:

I'd buy some of the cree globes and buy some light bulb extensions and get the globes as close as I can and encase the plant I'm bulbs. Best option for your budget. Save 30+ watts per bulb and less heat.
 
This thing is indestructible. 100 strikes with hammer and 10 kicks to break it down. Thats quality
Can your DIY do that

so what u have to say about the other people who owned this light and have been successful with it without it burning out?......dont u know that nothing will be 100% ....ITS PART OF MANUFACTURING.....IT DONT MATTER what company u choose really they will always be at least one defective product...out of 100 or 1 out of 1000 or 1 out off 10,000 etc....it dont mean that all the products will be defective....n i am not standing up for this light or company but u did wear urself out tryng to destroy the light
 
How is casing quality even the same thing as LED quality?

Folks are really stuck on Realsyles stomping out that mars panel lol. Guys, just like a pop can the mars casing is hard to stomp flat because it's full of components, it's not rocket science dudes.

Imagine that a 160lb dude can't stomp aluminum heat sinks flat in 2 stomps LOLs.

I'm 170lbs and wasn't even trying hard. I wanted it to be funny and it worked.
 
What is more important? Where the L.E.D is actually made or where the driver is made? im asking this question because im looking at a led light and the company says that the LED is made in the usa....but all the other components ( drivers, heat sinks etc...) are made in china!... and assembled in the USA!

Meanwells looks like the top choice of power supply here. Meanwell power supplies are made in China. I am not sure if there is any made in USA power supply.
I am curious to know what company you looking at
