You want to argue or buy one of the best small LED grow light panels?;-)

The area 51rw mix(cw/630nm) is proven and using 100% cree diodes@a fair price IMO.

Your other options you listed aren't even in the same league, crappy no name encapsulated leds, crappy drivers, loud fans, etc......if that's enticing to you, go for it.

Btw UV/IR coming from low wattage leds isn't as effective as you think. Rather have cree XP-e power over them any day .

Good luck

I get emails every other day from every Chinese company.. Its annoying. Its kind of funny to see the new tech they are trying to push. They all rock the green panels with reflectors instead of lenses like the ones LG make.

Yikes!!.............depends on the spray you used(got the brand name??), anything containing boric acid/fipronil/hydramethylnon? are NOT USDA approved for FOOD crops and should NOT be inhaled or ingested. so better safe than sorry IMO

enjoy your awesome led lights! and be safe grower

Four a51 75w units isn't enough for a 4x4. What are your yield expectations???

That's a nice grow, and size/yield is strain dependent..........but he's using 2 cindly "super" ufo's in a 3x2, wonder if their still operational now?......2 area 51 rw 75 will do better in that small tent with less wattage=== again it's ALL ABOUT THE EMITTER QUALITY when it comes to led growing.
