There’s also a few other places. Don’t just jump without researching
Yeah I’ve done a lot of reading lately. But that’s why I’m back on here for the best advice I can get. I’m leaning towards the Scorpio version f HLG . But by all means would like opinions from some solid led growers

I’m new to led for the most part... still building up to a complete setup. (Large space) but I have a nice space going with three Mars lights and it has done very well. And it’s larger than a 5x5 space. I spent 760ish on all three lights and can’t complain. There are better brands for sure. Just depends on preferences and budget I guess. I’ve got to say though the big names make very nice lights (not necessarily better in use) but much prettier.

What are the differences or your preferences and why lol
I'm currently using all of these as testers for my next building. All put down more than enough power and are at a good price point especially if buying a few hundred. Customer service is on point as well which is a big thing for me. Build quality is good and their numbers are on point with my apogee meter.

Well currently I’m running 4 leds (mixed) in a 3x3 . I just got 2 100w HLG rspecs, 1 1000w ts and a 600 watt Mars . It’s okay but I’m going for the Big Bang lol

Most are better in use given the bin they use. Those partnered with Samsung get the best bins ie hlg where Mars and sf get lower end which results in lower cri and everything in between.

I’m gonna get nearly 2lbs off of this plant. I’m not trying to argue about lights. I’m only showing what I have gotten from what I have. And to be honest I think the pics speak for them selves. 3 Mars Tsl 2000’s. And just days away from harvest (:
I mean granted lower end diodes are in my rooms currently and will yield something close to 45lbs but better lighting in my other rooms as been proving to be vastly different in what it'll do.

I agree u get what u pay for especially when it comes to big numbers. But for a single grow that’s trying to build up goin a little cheaper can be helpful.
