I said a while back that Blackstar LEDs were the only LEDs worth looking at IMO. P Jennings on Cannetics backs up what I said before about the Blackstars being the best on the market after his 3 months of research. He currently pulls 3-4 zips off a plant with little veg under his Blackstars. If I were going to go that route tho, I would use both HID and the LED as supplemental. He runs LEDs on their lonesome and his results are impressive.
With LED u almost need to have an even canopy. They are not for everyone. I could see if I was an indica lover and grew some shorter kush plants that didn't stretch much how the LED would be good enough. They are no cheap tho, and $500 for a 3x3 footprint isn't practical for commercial growers. For the hobbyist, it might be something to look into.
