300w LED help

Hello Everyone. I have been on here for a while and have learned alot. I do, however, have a very specific question in regards to lights. I would like to buy a 300w light for my next grow but I am on somewhat of a short budget. I have determined that a 300w light would be optimal for my space. I would prefer to use the same light for the whole grow, so I have determined that I need a full spectrum. Now, for the question, where am I able to buy a light that is inexpensive but not cheap quality? I have searched google and there are many different price ranges from $200 up to $700 but I really don't have $700 for this purpose. I am also not keen on spending $200 to get garbage. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks Everyone!!
Sincerely,
ME

"where am I able to buy a light that is inexpensive but not cheap quality" question of the century..........idk.....my best guess is too go here https://www.novagrowlights.com/ for the better quality chinese panels or go direct to the manufacturer http://www.bsled.com/led-grow-light/ and ask for a sample unit at way cheaper prices than the rebranded nova/blackdiamond/raptor/etc......don't know how it grows though

300w actual draw with high quality diodes gets VERY expensive..........happy shopping

Well ..
Dunno much about commercial led grow panels...
Never used one...

But I can tell you this ,from my experience trying to make ..."one"...

300 Watts in leds (300 pcs x 1Watt led ) cost about 200$,give or take...
And we are talking for cheapos ,mediocre,non-binned asian leds....


So ,I really don't think that you can easily find ,what you're asking for....

thx for the help psuargro but $629 isnt really much cheeper then $700. stardustsailor i am sure someone will correct me but i dont think the 1w leds are very good for penitration i was thinking more like 100*3w leds

Hello, Sketie
Maybe blackstar and HTG is your best choice . They perform well .

i want to buy htg but i live in canada and they wont ship here

getting a sample unit from bysen will be allot cheaper than those nova prices for the same product......ah Canada, well you can look at area 51 lighting'panels they ship to Canada for free and ferro led is based out Canada too....they have joint venture led panel projects/seen some great grows with them on here so that's an option for you.....they are coming out with a brand new panel soon so maybe wait it out for it's release.....they use good leds and their build quality is solid
IMO.......check out Dawg's grow with those area 51 panels.....impressive

Oh , a pity . Their products really good one. And blackstar ships to Canada , maybe you can contact them . Their products perform excellent .

hey gcmdh are there still alot of problems with the blackstar lights? if not i think they may be what im looking for

Hi，sketie . I know some problem with their lamps . But their products are OK now .
