I rule out anything that doesn't display a price. If there's a reason they want you to talk to a sales rep, that's a reason to move on.

Seen your grows, have a bunch of floodlights to prove it... hadn't realised you'd used these, i'll go and have another look.
Yeah...moved on a bit since then.....Havent updated in a while....learning to use the latest setup i guess...

Probably the best place to start... ^^^^^^^^
Why would I do that when 99 out of 100 LED sellers publish their prices without all the drama?
What possible reason would they have for not displaying the price (other than wanting to set the hook in a way that only direct contact will allow?).

Like other Chinese led light companies don't like to display the price .
Most I've seen do. What reason would a seller have for a "contact us" as the price? The only time I've seen that is for volume pricing or customization options. For average consumer sales, the only reason I can see is a "come on."
I skip that stuff. Too many sellers who don't play that game, selling essentially the same stuff.

Maybe you can give them some suggestions .lol

Yeah cool, that's a good read
nice pics that page I'd like to keep everything on the same light bar (https://www.rollitup.org/t/budz-off-the-grid.837432/page-3) (ie central) was thinking of bigger watt (v smaller watt) 730nm as not being a big deal but uv probably has to stay fairly small in a cabinet... with cxa running on low voltage anything else on the light bar would be fairly close to the flowers as well. Maybe too close with 3070 running @ 700mA, i'd imagine pretty close themselves? Maybe only 2x 3 or 5 watt UV would be enough? Something to start playing I guess

If i have a friend who can get led lights through a wholesaler, What kind should I ask for to be able to give me the same true watts as 10 1000w HID lights? New to indoor and if I'm going to be setting up a room I want to run LED. But I want to still get the same yield as HIDs… even if i have to buy a few more LED setups.

Welll, im looking for an LED that will rival a 200 watt HPS NO PROBLEMO. I'm a little skeptical, however ive seen it done! I would LOVE to test one of these systems however I am on a TIGHT budget right now with my old lady. Any suggestions? Indoor flower area roughly 35"x30""x80", what you guys think?

I'm thinking about buying the 900watt G8LEDs from dorm grow. Anyone have an educated opinion?

A 200w HPS seems really small for an area that large?

When you say "LED lights through a wholesaler", whose lights? What kind? You're not going to replace 10 1K HIDs easily with budget lights IMO.
You could try an A51 RW75 to start with, then add CREE spotlights as needed during flowering, this way you get quality lights and you don't have to pay it all up front. Plus the CREE LEDs used in those products will keep your ebill well below the cost of running a 200HPS and should produce a better quality product IMHO, so make sure you tell her it saves money in the long run. Also DIY COBs will save you quite a bit if you've got the inclination to make one.
Never used them and I bet most folk around here would tell you not to. They're could be good if they really use the dies in the LEDs like they say but that's tough to confirm. And for that kind of money you can do better. Those lights are based on an old design and don't cool the LEDs as they should so don't plan on this as a long term solution. Plus on their Amazon store they tell you to add 2 grow blooms to max out your grow. Why does a 1400 HPS replacement need a booster? Advanced makes a better light for that price range. Probably VIPAR too. But to really know what's best for you is you need to tell people your grow space size. But that's just my little ol' 2 cents. Good Luck.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!!!!! I am going to make this my next DIY project IF I choose to avoid HPS. I dont think LED is the way to go on a budget. Maybe I'm wrong. Id like to build one with a 20" box fan as the frame. 2 rows of 3 50 or 100W LED's making a 300 or 600 W Grow light! A 20" fan sucking air UP around them and blowing it up out of the environment OUT TO be enough. Gotta save up 2 to 3 hundred dollars, Think id rather spend the 115 on a 150W HPS.

Ok, I'm going to buy an LED rig to suit my current space restrictions. Can you give me top 3 units to buy that don't involve DIY please. I work too much and have seen so many different reviews and bullshit that I'd love someone to just throw me a bone and give me the benefit of your experience.

I would replace Onyx, with the Hans Panel, but otherwise, you've got it right.
