well going with LED's is a good choice but NOT going with vipar spectra lamps would be good also. I know guys who got these lights when they were at their original prices for hundreds more.

this forum has an excelent LED section where you can get more info on whats best to go with today.

I'm running a 600W Vipaspectra and am getting great results. Now, it's my first grow so I'm not so educated on what makes a great LED, but for the low cost, Vipaspectra isn't a bad deal. But don't expect any sort of customer service from them.....

Got it 4 weeks into flower on the last grow. Saw some suggestions on tuning down blue and adding more red for the last weeks. Really happy with the grow. Doing a Wonder Woman this grow. Get to play dials more this time. I used some info from the KIND page. It's a good light for the price. I also have the 300 and 600 with Veg/ Bloom option. https://www.kindledgrowlights.com/blogs/news/suggested-light-settings-for-all-stages-of-indoor-growing

You could shop and get a much better deal buying each item. And you certainly don't want one of those shitty "burple" chinese lights! Buy a good cob based light, there are several good vendors right here on RUI. Tents are not expensive. I could put together a better package for a lot less than that! And thats only a 2x4 tent! You can get one that size on ebay for $60! add 4 cobs and a driver from cobkits, you have a $250 light that will kill it in that space. Get you some air pots or auto pots, $50-$100, a good 4" fan, ducting, and filter, maybe another $100. your under $600 and have a MUCH better setup. Everyone of these "package deals" is a rip off!

Does anyone have any experience with These. I'm not sure if I should get the LED lights or the HID Lights.

Don't slag the vipar leds, they are maybe the best in burples. Stick one of the 200 watts units in among your cobs/quantum boards/cmh etc and you may get a surprise.

Anywhere high quality cobs like bridgelux and Cree run $8-60 each depending on what model you run. Meanwell drivers are more expensive but worth it $75 for their 250w model . I built with 2 meanwell drivers 500w total and 16 Vero cobs $12 each 16 heatsinks$15 each and aluminum to make a frame and I came in at $600 results speak for themselves, 4x4 week 3 of flower IMG_20171102_000241.jpg

I paid $215 USD incl shipping to canada and tax for 4, citizen clu048 1212, 3500k 37v 80CRI with a 240 1400a 250w meanwell driver, 4 predrilled passive heatsinks, 4 thermal pads, 4, angelina style reflective lenses and dimming switch (even though i dont need it with the driver i have) from kingbrite.

My lights pull 200w currently, but i will be looking into a combination of series and parallel wiring up another 50w of lm561c strips on this driver

made my own frame and im good to start on my first grow.

Edit: I think you could get 4 vero 29 and run them at 100w each with a different driver and heatsinks for probably $250-300 (same place) and cram 400w out of it if you can DIY.

If you ignore the crappy software, the "Teslong" USB Endoscope available on Amazon here is actually surprisingly good for the price.

Luckily, it can be used with virtually any IP or Webcam software on Linux, windows, android, apple etc.

I've yet to find anything better when it comes to inspecting your buds pre-harvest, and its just a joy to fool around with.

Honestly I would highly recommend building your own COB led light, use quality components you will save money, and get great results.
Those lights you listed though yes they work, they could be much much better the mark up on commercial Led's is insane, either you buy cheap stuff that doesn't work well but does the job, be prepared for burnt out Leds and weak power supplies that could leave your grow in the dark. Check out my posts a little further up, those plants were done with 500w of COB led that I built for around $550, and I'm pulling just over 2 lb per 4x4 I run. Though that isn't all lights, that's environment, that's having my nutrients dialed in (nectar for god's) DIY co2 system, ect.....
For comparison though I used to run 1000w hps per 4x4 and would and would come in at around 1.5 lb. So high quality led has added another 9-10 ozs and lowered my electricity consumption maybe 65%. Same space half the watts on the lights, plus I don't have to run my AC as hard during warm months, and I've been able to dial back my exhaust and intake fans to maintain my ideal temp and humidity, those 3 have to add up to another 15% reduction past the huge savings on the lights
