Whats up new to forums, posted in the newbie section but I am look for a LED setup for a 2x3 area or so and was wondering about the SolarFlare FullCycle. I seen they have the veg and flower stage lights but $900 is kinda high right now but any info would be helpful, maybe some other LEDs? Price range $200-$600 thanks

Never heard of the one you listed, but I have a Blackstar 240 and a Pro-grow 180 and either one of these would be fine for the space you wanna cover.. I just started my first grow with the blackstar so I cant tell you much about it yet, But the Pro-grow did its job well on my first grow.

Thanks for the input, was also looking and the 357, kinda pricey I know but from what I seen on youtube and other journals I might make the $800 gamble

i have a 135w Blackstar,actual watt output of ~92w
this morning just ordered (2) 200watt Solarflares due to the insane penetration from the 5w diodes...actual watt output of ~165w!
Blackstars are great for a couple plants and affordable but too underpowered for me.
Solarflare is a premium light...for $100 more, you get what you pay for. Pay more, get more!
Good luck on your decision

Can't comment on the Solarflare's performance (never used one), but I do feel it's one of the better built led panel(imo)......I know of one user that own's one and maybe can give you real feedback on it. his name is "PrezDickie" (PM him)/has a thread in here too.......Oh btw prez says that coverage(flowering) is no more than 2x2...good luck

I don't know if you ended picking one up, but I know someone using the bloom booster for a 3x3 flower and I'm thinking about getting one to supplement my 600 HPS. His plants looks so healthy I just feel like the dialed-in spectrum in addition to my 600 HPS will do wonders. I found one here that has free shipping and a free pair of light hangers with your order: http://www.growershouse.com/california-light-works-solarflare-led-200w-led-grow-light-31608.html

EVOled is almost ready with their new light. It will offer the ability to change out led clusters, making it perfect for both veg and flower. Also, one driver can handle up to 3 fixtures
