Looks like I will be testing out an led light after all buddy gave me one of his older 600w led lights, I am testing it next to a 600w hps, this is this first led light I've ever hung, let's see what it does next to the hid.
As a long time LED user, I can tell you with certainty, do not expect much from that light.
That LED light is by Hydro Grow, their reputation is shit, and with good reason.
They just rebrand, and drop ship the cheapest LED lights from China, to the USA.
Just google them and you'll see over a decades worth of problems with this company.
I'm not trying to sour you on LED or crap on your buddy's generosity.
I just wanted you to be aware of the situation so you're not too disappointed when you see the results.
There are many good LED lights out there, unfortunately, this is no where near one of them.
