Is 1500 watt led equivalent to 1000 watt hps

it will be difficult to determine the efficiency of no-name leds esp ones that use imaginary misleading wattage

find out actual power draw of unit and shoot for 60-100% of the power you would use with HID

I saw a 1500 watt led on Wayfair for 159 and was wondering if it’s equivalent to a 1000 watt hps

you can get a quantum board that does pretty damn well for around 350 i got 2 150 solskins and im pretty impressed comming from 600 of hps

I'm running both . I am fairly new but hps is still the shit in my opinion. Results speak for themselves . Alot of great growers use hps and prob always will . I have a 4x4 w 600 hps and a Mars hydro 1000 . Good results especially on the side closest to the hps

Actual wattage is what I look at . If I had to guess I would say maybe 600 to 800 led watts are probably going to be close to the 1000 hps .
