have used sidelighting for quite some time and it increase's yields by 15%, use the "red" spectrum in flower (panels 12by12 cost $20.00) and full spectrum panel in veg No ther is another type called "underCanpoy" lighting wich entails butting led strips under the plants ; saying it increased yields - never used them -- side lighting is the best

Where you get these panels and are they ready to go out of the box?

Just be very careful ordering anything from amazon in terms of LEDs. I think they may possibly sell QB's but most LEDs
