SMD 3030 vs. Samsung LM301B

[Palgravefarmer]

Hi All,

Can someone help me understand the following:

Which LED light/diode is best for horticulture, the SMD 3030 or the Samsung LM301B?

Also, does the volume of diodes make a light better? Say, a LED Bar with 3000 pieces vs. a LED bar with 1800 pieces?

The 2 lights I am comparing are the following:

Mars Hydro FC6500 vs. Aglex L700

Any insight would be very much appreciated.

Thank you

The samsung lm301 is way more efficient than standard SMD LEDs.

The number of led doesnt matter as much as the overall wattage. Some leds use .25 w some use .125 some use 1w.

You want 30 to 35 watts per square foot for leds. Samsung lm301 LEDs are currently the most efficient leds you can get. Nothing is better right now.
