I've got a 600w hps set up vertical with 8 good sized plants in 3 gal pots, and I'm looking for a way to get more lighting to my tops. I'm worried about my tops growing over towards the light and making them airy and not nearly as dense. I want around 4 LEDs above the tops to promote vertical growth as well to keep my plants growing straight. Any recommendations on good/decent LEDs between $60-$300?

Why wouldn't you just train the tops away from the bulb???

If you want a 4 set of LEDs to cover the corners, look at something like this.

Those are probably just dime store 1w leds, but they may not be driven to 1 watt.. 72 max watts of blurple light isn't a lot, but for the money you are talking you can get 2 broad spectrum cob's at 90+ watts each for about $100 in parts (give or take).
