Yep, they use the less efficient Samsung LM281B+ diodes I was referring to, which means that you get 25% less light for the same power as compared to Samsung LM301 diodes.

I got the maxisun 4000pb. Makes sense cause I'm only getting .75grpw off them. Im upgrading soon for sure. Still deciding on what to get.
They will become my veg lights. I got the mixjoy 4000 cause I'm cheap and they fit my budget. Better components, Maxisun 4000 fairs well next to the mixjoy 4000 though, 60 less watts to on the maxi.

I like the Chilled but I can't find warranty info on the kits.
Its only 1 yr. For diy 3 for commercial but u pay quite a bit more thats y i passed on chilled, optic called after and gave me thier number for discounts in the future so if you go optic call and ask if they have any coupon codes for what you want, it coul save ya a few bucks he also said the driver was shippinng separate due to shipping banging them up soo everythinng should arive in good shape

its a hard choice but check out optic they use the latest diodes and all that shit whats the waarranty for this 1200 dollar light. I do like the 6 to 12 inches from the canopy must have good spread but yea dont see a warranty just 60 day money back guarantee which is dumb should b 6 months so you can run a cycle. Id have plants ready to floweer if i got 1 4 sure. Does it even dim?

That is a way better light. You can probably search the journals section and find growers running that light and see their results. One thing I did notice is that light is best for a rectangular footprint, 2x4' in flower. So that might not be the best for your 3x3 space.

Shit, just make a thread asking about best LED for a 3x3 thats $XXX or less as per your budget. There are a lot of guys in the LED section that can be very helpful. The only LED's that I have been looking at with any detail are larger footprint.
Hello @Renfro, i was checking this thread as im about to switch from HPS to LED for first time so i wonder, whats the best brand and model. What is the model u mentioned equivalent to? Im using classic 600W HPS atm and 600 MH for vegetative phase so dont rly know much about it. Do u use this light for both phases i assume? By what ive read im assuming u are high experienced with LED already. I also wanted to ask what do u think about this https://lumatek-lighting.com/lumatek-zeus-600w-pro/ . Ive read some positive reviews. Thanks a lot for your answer and sorry for my poor english.

Cheers!
