I can Say I've researched all leds and the best light for price and output is the Mars II, there are much more expensive but hands down Mars II Will give you the most bang for your buck. I have 400w, my boy has a 900w and is doing a 10x10 with four 1600w. Should be dope.

I been using mars II for a couple years now and I've been telling and arguing this point. I agree there's some nice expensive lights out but what you get makes no sense when you compare what you get from a mars and the fact you paid 1/8-1/4 less. I think that's what bothers everyone. To me after owning my mars I knew there was so much shade and misinformation in the industry, so I've been a ambassador for them. Glad to have another mars brother

In my 1st comment I was trying to say there are bunch of expensive lights but the Mars price is so right, beyond competitive and is killing all other led producer's because output and price.

Have been using Illimitex F1's x 2 in a 4 x 4 tent now for about 4 years now. Very happy with the outcome and considering the Mars II 400w for my other tent to replace a couple of generic American made 140w LED's. These 140's aren't chop liver, but I now want them for some closet grows.

Not at all,works just like it did on day one. They are definitely built heavy duty. Hell I forgot how long the warranty is, but it was 3 or 5 year warranty. I think the 400w are like $178.00 and I swear if you look at black dog led they look identical to mars but the black dog are over a grand.
I just dnt understand how these U.S. led manufacturers are getting away with charging these ridiculous prices. The technology isn't as expensive as the U.S. companies are charging. I'm waiting for a U.S. company to be competitive because I prefer to buy U.S. made items, but I will not be overcharged for technology that is no different than what mars is putting out.

Just visited that site and the info is almost 3 years old:

"I started this LED grow light comparison with eleven companies. In the conclusions I eliminated 24, most of which were duplicates. What I ended up with was one company that was not eliminated in any of the rounds and one which had some of it's lights eliminated in only one round."

Just wondering if Mars was considered.

Mars hydro is the source for the led power og is repping no joke she's the shit. I have throo 1609 watt mars 2 full spectrum and one 1200 watt mars full spectrum. My boy however has
Three reflector seris going now. Now leds lets talk I have spent more then ten thousand dollars in leds trial and error. I've done the research what we want is a led that uses cree or epistar diodes.. 5w and 10 w diodes. I have also ran kessil 380 spectrals in my room as supplenantary and let me tell you worth every penny. Mars 1600 for direct replacment and kessil 380 spectrals for supplemental. I MO
