Thinking of using an LED rather than those HPS

I am thinking of using LEDs for flower, but don't know too much about their spectrums. my setup for this flower box is a 2x2 base and 4' in height, what would be an ideal light? and how can i tell luminosity with these?

also, i found this light. would it be ideal for a 2-3 ft plant? i also may have fluorescent panels on the sides.

also, is yield diminished if lets say i used a 400w hps?

You might want to start instead by reading every LED grow you find, both here and elsewhere, and making a decision accordingly.

ive been seeing some good grows in hydro with these leds some of them yield pretty well. have you ever used one or are you just judging from other threads

With those panels? Just those panels? You wouldn't happen to have any links to those grows? I'd love to see that if you can.

LED's are great for small spaces. Tents. Closets if you like them, personally I don't. LOL. Take that as you may.
The more watts the panel draws the better. It needs red, blue and ppl are putting white now. And some LED's have green following a study by NASA. And some panels have uvb diodes. The LED industry is evolving. Wait five years the stuff will be way cheaper. For now I like my Blackstar600 which draws about 340 watts each and I have three. I like the PAR numbers with LED's. But since I generate nice work with 600W HPS, 1000W HPS and five light rails I'm not switching to LED completely any time soon. So let's review. For your specific grow you'll want something that pulls at least 300 watts of power and has a nice range of diodes. Has at least a 5 yr warranty and has a thumbs up from other LED growers. Good luck.
