Bought 3 led lights for 100.00 any good?

[Lastmanstandin31]

So i bought 3 led lights from a guy for 100.00 today.
Are they worth what I payed for them? Wanted to use them as side lights in my grow room.
Two say 600w one says 300w. The guy said something about them being triple diode or something....
They have funky different colored lights and I don't like them compared to the old school HPS light I have but seemed like a fair deal.

They will grow weed, but next time buy white LED's or HID.

They are all just blurple lights, the 600 is actually 260W. Not sure on the other two but I would not put much faith in a light that has "no waterproof" stamped on it.

Does that mean he can’t lick it lmao

They might be useful as veg lights, but their efficiency is so low compared to current-tech diodes or even HID.
Blurples will grow weed, but they use as much power or more than an HPS rig that it doesn't make sense to use them for flower.

No... it means he should lick it!

Agreed, I am not a fan of blurple lights but they will get the job done. Not optimally by any stretch of the imagination but done none the less.

If they have veg and bloom switches, you can use the reds as supplemental lighting.
What do you use for your main light?

This is the only acceptable blurple for me.

For less than $20 more you could have bought a brand new dimmable 600 watt HID with both MH and HPS bulbs, a reflector, timer, and ratchet hangers that would have blown those lights away.

Except that he already has an HID light and was interested in these as possible supplemental lighting. Stop being so easily triggered.

Oh I'm gonna lick them anyways

I have a 600w hps light. Just thought that for 100.00 i could hang them for the sides or something..

Hey bud, for $100 for 3 of them you really can't go wrong. If you want to evaluate them than they are not great but for what you want they will get it done. Hell, even to have them around as a backup if you HPS died they would be worth the $100 you spent.
