Your going to need two LED's about 800 watts each (you want between 32 to 40 watts per sq/ft. or more. Yes you could run one LED and HPS together. Good plan to wait and buy quality lights separately.

I couldn't tell the better light either because I don't know one company from the other..

On paper the phlizon is better and cheaper but I trust very few companies..

I did take a punt on the 640w version though on behalf of someone else who doesn't have the funds to go wild.. it's in transit now

BTW, try their actual site.. on ebay the light I got is £399. On their site it was £360 after using discount code and free delivery

Didn't realize you were not in the US, your choices are somewhat diminished. Being skeptical regarding led claims is a good thing. Check reviews and ratings, look carefully at the source of the review/rating, some are from the companies themselves!

Yeah, one of the reasons I thought I'd give it a go is they've always provided a lot of light for the dollar/pound and I've seen a few on here buy them and no complaints.

I remember when they made blurples, then started adding COBs in the mix and then eventually got on to bar lights.

I own a lot of hlg , gla and my first switch to bar lights was with the omega pro 3.0 , so I'm interested to see how it compares to that for nearly £200 less.

I'd like to see migro test them. See how real world compares to on paper.

If you have time.. alibaba may have something for you. Something with Samsung lm301b/h diodes and a reliable driver is what you’ll look for. Some bigger lights are pretty pocket friendly in comparison to other top companies you may not have access to.

How Long Does Alibaba Shipping Take to UK? If you shipped via air express, then it should arrive in anywhere from 3-10 business days. If via air freight, the Alibaba shipping times will take 20-45 days. If via sea, this will be more like 30 to 60 days.Feb 10, 2023
