StardustSailor,
Not sure what you are reading, my post of been clear I want the best value for my money. I understand my Dorm Grow lights are not considered to be top shelf in this community, my grow though speaks for itself. So there is no fight or battle here from be saying my inexpensive LEDS are better in the terms of efficiency, which is what I want. The goal is use the least amount of watts to produce the highest yield possible from my strain. Currently I am getting what you should be able to tell great flowering results. But is doesn't matter if I am paying more in electricity and will be replacing these lights sooner than the highly touted expensive panels. It would be nice if you were a contributor to this thread instead of an instigator.

Oh ,No..
You probably thought that that "
DiscoLover" was for you ?
Nahhhh ...
No!
It 's a whole "movement" ...
...
Contribute to what ?
(I do not see the need of any contribution ,really ..
I'm already seeing .....amazing ...things going on here ...!!!..)
DankSwag,there are plenty of led combos out there ....
I got to know couple of things ,though ....
And really ,trust me on those ,if you want /can ...
-Led lights do not grow plants ,just by themselves ....
-If you really wanted the best value for your money..
Well ...Then you certainly would have not started the thread like :
"
Is there any guide for the consumer on how to compare LED panels to the next one.
Things to look for and to watch out for? Is there anyone that has compared a high end model such as Apache AT600 with a Dorm Grow 900 Full Spectrum at half the cost or anything like that.
I am a frugal bastard and won't spend a dime more then I need too if one LED light produces equivalent results for less money then a more expensive make and model."
Why ?
Think it over a bit .
You 're a "consumer " .....
Thus 'restricted' to a range of pre-selected (not by you ,of course ) designs,
starting from crap to what you are referring as high end devices ...
If you still think that I'm an instigator.,you're wrong ..
You haven't seen me -yet- "in mood " ...
BTW ,nice grow ....
If it's real ...
Cause most growers I'm aware of ,they' would need a K of HID ,
to have those juicy wonderful buds of yours ....
But then...
As I've already stated to you ...
-Led lights do not grow plants ,just by themselves ....
It might be the fact that you're an awesome grower ,too...
Or something else ...
Still ....
I've tried many different leds myself ....
And I got to know -be aware of -certain things ,by experience and only ...
Do not forget that ,please .
Welcome and take good care ..
Cheers.
