Hello all
I have been using a 6 year old led fixture that does just ok and wanting to update. My space is 39” x 48” and want to get the best light I can for around $800. I have been researching and there are so many options that it makes the water very muddy. I’m now learning the effects of Uv and ir and would like to have some but not a deal breaker could just add supplement bars later. I have ran across eco farm LEDs that seem nice and are using lm301b and lm301h but could not really find many reviews on them. Here is a few I have been looking at. I would love to hear your feedback and thank you in advance for your input and advice.
Happy growing

I love Mars hydro I have the FC-E3000. Awesome light but check this 670 watt fixture with a 5 year warranty for 475$. Actually the 830 watt is that price and it’s 10 bars.the 670 is like 400$.

What do you prefer? What led do you like? And how do they differ from what you use?

Right now I'm using 2 x 100w rspec +1 3000k in the middle. Whenever it cools off I swap the 3000k for 150w hps.

Depends on what you want to grow and how much you want to spend.

I would suggest staying away from eco farm, they are horrible to deal with and their stuff doesnt last.

Meijui on alibaba is pretty reliable, and they have some powerful units for sale. I think they even started up some north american distribution, so you dont have to wait for it to be shipped from china
