Is the ViparSpectra Reflector-Series 300W LED Decent?

Did you ever think that maybe someone is getting paid to advertise?? Really not a far fetched idea. Follow your nose to find the bulls*t.
You mean like this one where somebody documented an entire grow with the exact same light I'm thinking of getting?

In the future, here's what you do: look at the post title and subject. If it's something you have no knowledge of, don't bother posting. If it is, please weigh in.

The fact is you have NO IDEA about this light at all. Since your first post all you've done is beat your chest about how great you and your light is and that all other lights suck.

Post less. Please.

That's odd. Very odd. Because on just about ever single website related to lighting for Marijuana, the ViparSectra brand is in the top 10 recommended lights.

Odd how you two know something that nobody else in the entire marijuana community seems to know...and at the very same time say the LED industry is completely bogus while running LED lights.

Frankly, the two of you smack of, "Since I bought it mine is best". Grow up.
I'll just say this they use Epistar diodes it's like buying a Yugo and you need to see this

I was only trying to help good luck with that light. I bought a Mars light and it failed in 15 months and that light has no warranty they say they do but good luck trying to get them to honor it.

You start a thread asking for input, then you don't like the input? Ok I give up. Good luck with your grow. I won't waste my time here any more.

I still have a couple old Mars 300's as well as one reflector series. I also have a double cob purple unit also. I don't use them anymore. I ran 4 300's for several grows. They worked. I went to 8 vero 29's diy's in the same space and tripled my yield using less electric. I run 4 plants in my area and In 15sq ft I see 800 to 1000g of bud only. But they do work.

*sigh* another douche bag posting equipment worth 100 times what I'm looking at.

Tell you what, when you want to buy your first guitar, and you're looking at these 400 and 500 dollar guitars, and I post pictures of my Les Paul, ES 355 and Stratocaster and tell you those guitars are pieces of shit and not worth a dime and you suck for buying them, remember this thread.

Fact is, I also have a 500 dollar guitar. I've done a lot of work on it. It's packing TV Jones pickups, Jimmy Page wiring, and frankly is the best sounding guitar I own.

YOU are NOT the object here. I am. My budget is. I wanted people WITH EXPERIENCE WITH THAT PARTICULAR LIGHT.

Again, if you have no clue what you're talking about, don't post.

ON THE PARTICULAR LIGHT IN QUESTION WHICH YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY COMPLETELY UNEDUCATED ON.

Stop posting.

I don't usually say this, but google is your friend, as is this site.

I will even lead this horse to water, with minimal confusing concepts. Ready? They claim to replace a 250W HPS, so we will start there.

Question one: How many lumens does a 250W HPS make? That's your first question to answer for yourself. Try google. The second question is: how many lumens/watt is that? Hint, divide the lumens by 250.

Get back to me and we'll move on to step two.

God damnit...does ANYBODY READ?

I'm growing 1 or 2 plants. That's it. I'm not farming the entire fucking south 40. I'm trying to provide my own pain relief, not make a living selling shit and going to prison.

Those pics were this week. I'm making another light today that pulls 600w from the wall. So what you have a $500 guitar I have $15000 worth of COB lighting and I have an MPC so what that doesn't have nothing to do with the answer I gave you. Don't worry others will chime in and you'll see how they feel about your attitude. Also that thread you posted they never finished their grow and here's another pic for you and you won't be getting buds this big with that cheap light lol

FYI shit for brains, my Les Paul is worth just over 35,000 dollars. And that's just ONE of the expensive ones.

Simple fact is, I asked for opinions ON ONE PARTICULAR LIGHT. I don't give a shit what your light is. I don't care what you THINK about YOUR light.

At this point, only two people have posted that actually have experience with the light I posted about. Both said it works fine. The rest of you have just been "OH LOOK AT MY RIG" douche bags.

Congratulations for being completely inept, moronic, non-productive douche bags.

Name calling is really frowned upon here. I was genuinely trying to help you.

You try to teach a man to fish, and get called an inept, moronic, non-productive douche bag :(

I'm not the one with shits for brains really one are going there? I make lights I know junk when I see it and you are just upset because that light really sucks. Buy a Mars light at least it's 174watts from the wall and it's like $69 even a better price lol. Do you have Taco meat for brains? They don't even have a website
