I just wanted to thank you guys for the info, I decided to go with the advanced led diamond series 300w x2 ... the money for it is pretty pricey but you know what.. better than wasting my time with a ufo.
2x300s? I'm jealous!

Don't be tempted to get them too close to your plants. I don't put my 200s any closer than 20".

Good luck, you're going to love them.

can't see prices anywhere bro ..
Email them for pricing............it will be cheap, BUT premature partial failure is almost guaranteed with these things.....FYI

go with :

California lightworks(usa)
Apachetech(usa)
Hans led(eu)
area 51 lighting(usa based)
rhinogrow(usa)
plantphotonics(eu)
ISled(EU)
Astir led(eu)

more $$$ BUT reliability alone is worth it for our hobby

These work that well huh?
So i dont need solar flares etc, these lights are about 600 dollars cheaper than what i had planned on using. Are you sure these work ????
I would much rather save the money since im going to need 4 - 6 or them.

Following that pattern, witch brend is better for smaller grows(2'x2'), because these ones are all 400w beyond.. thanks

Oh, they definitely work, although not the most efficient out there. You won't care when you see what they can do;

If you need 4-6 lamps Advanced will discount and/or pay shipping.
You should talk to Jeff at Area51, he has upgrades coming in October, I believe. His current lamp, SGS-160 is no slouch.
Check out Apache Tech AT660 r/w also.

The Ultimate for a 2'x2' would be the Apache Tech AT200 r/w at 200 watts.

The Cali Light Works Solarflare is 165 watts.
Hans is 65 watts.
Rhinogrow 400 has 165 watts and the 200 has 80 watts.
Plantphotonics has different sizes, although the 140 would be for a 2'x2'.

There is an endless list of cheap Chinese panels available from Ebay or direct from the manufacturer if you are a "gambler".

Yeah, You kinda say the 'Real' wattage, right?
Well, I have 3 rooms, bought 1 blackstar 135w, 1 chinese 240w and now I want one TOP, like u mentioned(probably SF200w), gonna choose then test them for further projects..
Thanks, appreciate it.

Yeah , Cheaper .But too many failed modules and drivers . Apachtech , Lumigrow , California lightworks ,go with real USA products .

In a 2x2, I'd definitely consider an SGS-160... it'd be a bit overkill (2x3 footprint), but would guarantee some sexy ass plants. lol
