Looking for new new led

I’m in the search for a new led light that can cover 36”x36” canopy for under $200. Anyone have any thoughts?

This would be barely enough, more would be much better.
Big points are Samsun chips & Meanwell driver

look for meanwell drivers and Samsung lm301b diodes not 301h
maxsisun. is a semi off brand (china) but they make a good board with sosen drivers and also meanwell drivers depends which model. they use. samsung lm301b's and are cheaper.than the leading brands without sacrificing much on quality. i ordered 3 mf1500s and 1 pb1000
contact them and ask for a discount code on a few units they should hook you up. they gave me 100bucks off.
don't cheap out on smds you want the quality components.
mfs are better for flowering/all stage
pbs bit more geared for veg

the lm301b and h diodes are the same as far as I know. "h" is just the "horticultural" version. I've seen some threads that claim the "h" chips are 5% more efficient, but I think it's bs. Anyone know otherwise?

seems like just a hype thing so you pay more
color temp can be a little lower but youd have to get those specific chips which they prob just use the standard 3000 and 5000k
