The red one

 

[Allegedly]

HLG, usa made, 3 year warranty, no fans to fail, more than 100$ cheaper, simplicity; there is 1 dial and a plug, hlg600 is more efficient running 2.6 umol/j VS the 2.28 on the optic.

HLG all day long. To reiterate, they do everything that they can in the USA. No fan to break + no fan on the light gives you more control over temperature. I'm pretty sure you can run the HLG closer to the plants as well because it isn't a COBB and also emits from a larger surface. Their customer service is awesome. I ordered two lights a few hours apart and they quitely refunded me about 10% off the second without me asking or anything.
