Thanks interesting point in valid but i would mind tossing the extra $ at the light you will make that up in electric bills not to mention the tree - guess i'll have to keep track of your progress and maybe try to grow 1 plant start to finish under my cheap one and see its currently on the males i am sorting thru ...
A "quality" 300w LED would be more/less equal to 300w of HID. It's never been true that a LED can outperform HPS "yet". I have a 120w LED (2 actually) that can match the results that would come from a 1000w HPS as far as bud size/density. But no way are my 240w of LEDs gonna yield anywhere near what a 1000w would yield. I personally compare HPS and LEDs watt for watt. If I want to grow a pound per grow in a tent and I'm used to doing it with a 600w HPS, I'll replace it with ~600w of LEDs. Not anything less because the ads claim the LED panel can "match" what a 600w HPS can do (which is true in a sense when you consider it my way how I consider my 120w LEDs as powerful as a 1000w HPS).A 300 watt led would equal what in hps and mh ? Have one coming a side by side would be interesting... great log .. All that sun and your growing indoors ? LOL

Check this out:
$219 for 150W WHITE light. (You supply the electrical cord.)
I was at a friends warehouse shop, and he was replacing 400W MH high bay lamps with these LEDs.
LEDs looked brighter, and the light was very nice.
I just put one in flower space (replaced one of three 400W HPS) and one over my veg where the one LED replaced six 4' florescent.
The biggest breakthrough I see in these lamps is the lack of fans. No fan means I can expect the long LED life to pan out. None of the other LED grow lamps I have purchased will outlive the first fan failure.
The second interesting aspect of these lamps is how white and broad spectrum they are.
I can only imagine that the LED component is producing a short wavelength energizer that is then reflected off of an emitter surface.
They look great, open up the look of my grow spaces, and run cool and quiet. Cool is a relative term here as they do generate heat, but the flower room temps fell 4 deg F by replacing one 400W HPS. This was a needed heat reduction, so it is to the good.
Time will tell, but I can easily see replacing the other two HPS if this grow finishes out well.
I pay $.25 per KWH so payback should be quick.
Perhaps the time has come.
I have seen lots of big lamps getting tossed at the dump.
These new LEDs are likely the explanation.
I'd have taken the cover off were it easy.Says has frosted glass ? are u taking the glass off? .

I feel like I'd need to cut it out rather than take the unit apart.
At present they are making me so happy, think I'll just let 'em burn.
And remember, no cooling fans.
Looks good Pakalolo. When do they go into flower?

Says has frosted glass ? are u taking the glass off? Interesting ....had to quarantine a clone and put under a 18 watt led desk lamp, that sucker grew 6 inches in the first 3 days now had to clone it and is now taller then the lamp... impressive growth. Seems it runs pretty hot though..
So would i be wasting my time adding a 300 watt led to my flower along with 3 600 hps's and a 1000 hps / thimking of mounting on wall and adding another any thoughts combining? Just answered my question in first post here ,, mixing is good..
what if I add another one...just for more light spectrum?
