LED lights

I think Shane is a straight up kinda guy. Watched most of his vids. His light isn't top of the list. But price is on point, imo.

I generally agree, although he also did something sort of shady when he tested HLG's QB288, in that he put a sheet of plexiglass between the board and the light sensor. Here's that specific video:

Shane has also had bad math in some of his tests, which he later had to correct. Just saying. He's not an LED God, he's just a YouTuber with a light sensor and a product to sell.

Am I the only one who finds it odd that Shane at Migro is reviewing his own lights compared to his competitors? There has to be an implicit bias there.

Naw, that was weird.

It's definitely not a solid frame like the HLG Scorpion, but that's also one reason for the cost difference.

I found it odd he didn't review his own light. Very odd. I felt better about my purchase after finally seeing him review his own. It was also very helpful because he says how many diodes are on the light in the video. I couldn't find that info anywhere else. 180 per bar on the pro version for those wondering like I was.

At work I get an annual review every year. Each year a few weeks before the annual review my boss asks for input from me on my review, so I often send him several bullet points. I basically write much of my own performance review each year, and each year I get a great review.

Junk. Avoid blurples. Avoid any light that tries to sound bigger than it is, 30 - 35 real watts per sqft is where you wanna be with a quality "white" LED.

What do you think of the lumiled luxeon sunplus horticultural series leds 5700k 90cri

What's your budget and what size area are you planning on using?

seems a good size for me would be 48″x24″x60″ budget - id like to keep it as cheap as possible but also want quality so a couple hundred bucks would be nice.. thinking I should just get good lights off the hop so I don't have to upgrade.

There are a lot of great lighting options out there, not exactly sure who makes the best light for a 3x3 space but 35 watts per sqft and a 3500k white spectrum are things to look for. Feel free to run any light you look at by us before you buy it and we can help determine if it's a good move and perhaps propose better options. I am sure there are some users that will show us the good options for a 3x3, it's just a smaller footprint than I have looked into. HLG Quantum boards and the like are badass. Some LED lights wanna be ran closer than others too so look at that when you are choosing a light. Some wanna be at 6-12 inches from the canopy where others it's >28 inches. Decide what works best for you and your space.

great info thank you!

It isn't. Virtually every light on that page is crap. Stay away.

Are you willing to put together parts in a DIY project? You will get better quality gear for less money every time that way, and educate yourself along the way.

Hovering any Amazon button on that page will show us the URLs tied to the buttons.
Blissedoutbuds is an affiliate with Amazon and gets a commission for every sale generated via his/her links.
Anyone can do this and it is common to just create a website and list the top 10 most popular products on Amazon as they already sell well.
This doesn't mean that they are best, or even good.

I hope this helped :-)
