Hey guys, been looking around for an led for my micro grow, limited space so i decided originally on the Blackstar 135w LED UFO. Then whilst browsing ebay i stumbled upon the HTG Supply 135w Grow LED. Now, I've done some comparing so I'll list what i know is different:
  1. The Blackstar has the following 6 bands: Red: 630, 660nm; Blue: 425nm; Infrared: 730nm; Ultraviolet: 380nm; White: 12000k
  2. The HTG has the following 7 bands: Red 630, 660nm; Blue: 430, 460nm; Infrared: 850nm; Ultraviolet: 390nm; White: 10000k

Now i'm not an expert and am not specifically clear on which bands are greater than other etc. (i just learned cfl spectrums leave me alone!) So can anyone please tell me the significant difference (if any) there is between these two lights? Both are decent companies (Lighthouse and HTG). To my untrained eyes they look about the same, perhaps switching a few leds around between them, but I'm not sure.

Any opinions from some experts regarding these two lights would be appreciated!

:peace:ut!

I purchased a 240w blackstar today, its in the mail. It draws 135w. Its about an extra 100 bucks from the ufo one you have. I figured it would be the perfect veg light. Enough intensity and not too much watts for just veg. Ill still use my 600 hps to flower along with it. Maybe someday ill replace it. Only thing is id still have to keep all the cooling as it doubles for the smell. Less heat would be nice in the warmer months
