I wouldnt buy this light caveman... in my opinion, it's better to buy a 180w LED with 3w single chip diodes than a 300w 1w diode!
Shroomz, thanks for the entertainment this morning, I hope you dont come again... I am looking forward to see the result of my own grow with the LEDs, ... I know I am not corrupt!!!
Peace

I love when people who used .5 watt eBay led panels like 5 years ago come on this forum and bash LEDs cause they are to stupid to do a little research before buying something. Not to mention things have Changed alot In five years, do you still use your nintendo to play video games or did you buy a xbox 360.

It's nice to see less trolls and more pro led folk these days.
I will only recommend lights which I have had personal experience with, and unfortunately I have no experience with that light.
I would stay try to steer clear of 1w bulbs if you can! Go for 3w, they seem to make quite the difference in growth!

I've used 1w diodes, you'll see better results with 3w for sure. The post lists the lumens @ 10,880 (I know lumens aren't the end all be all of measuring grow lights, but a good indicator of intensity). The 180w chipset (3w diodes) light I'm using puts out 9800 lumens. Its more expensive to produce the higher wattage diodes but they really do make a difference. I've had 1,2, & 3w units. There is a reason I ditched my 1 & 2w units. While I have not used the light in the posting I'm very confident any 2011 model 3w unit from a any of the companies listed in this thread will put that light to shame.

no it won't. It would be a great addition to the panel. UFOs are super easy to hang at an angle. Work out a way to have them blast the sides or at least sit on a 45 degree angle. With that space you could def get away with two of their 50w units. If you're considering the 100w - that one might cause some bleaching late in flowering on a bushy plant. Never used blackstars, but have used 1 and 2w diode ufos as side lighting with much success.
When you get your rig up - post it up. We need more led grow journals on this site!

The color of the leaves compared to pictures of documented mag def. That and adding more cal mag fixed the issue.

I woiuldn't buy that amigos. If you are in the uk, look at what this guy is doing: plantphotonics.com (there is numerous grows on the net that shows those lights are legit, a bit expensive though). Other that that, I wouldn't recomend you any uk seller as far as I know. You could think about buying from USA paying in dollars, don't be put off too much by buying overseas. Or you can look at EU, evo50/70/90 grow led or led-kweeklamp-specialist.nl (they are solid too)
Do you have a link to the 240UV? Haven't heard of that one.Im a diehard HPS guy, but because of heat issues and u guys i bought the 240UV blackstarr and so begins my led path, im really geeked up abt not having heat issues or bulb replacements and a lower Electric bill

I m just about 10 days away from starting an LED journal! I was gonna have both grow in the same journal but since there is an intestest for LED journals, I ll make one. I am only waiting for the Fero 180 4G... not sure how I am gonna use the lights yet but the UFOs are brighter than expected, I got a red and a blue! here is what it's gonna look like!
it looks like the light in the bedroom was turned off coze the dresser is so damn bright!!!
Now my screen will be about 12 inches away from the lights, I am worry about bleaching in flowering so I might put the Fero in the right corner at a 45 degree angle or something!
The green on the veins with yellowing in between and red stems on the fan leaves. Also rust colored spots is also a sign.
Ebay UFOs weren't very practical for growing cannabis. I could tell a major difference between the Blackstar 240w and the 2 UFO's which I used for side lighting, which prompted me to sell the UFO's and purchase another 240w, atleast at first.
