Hi guys. I'm looking to upgrade my hps to led.
I was just wondering if anybody can recommend a specific make and what sort of power led I should be looking at. I have no knowledge of led.

My grow room is 2m square. Currently have 2 x 250w hps lights and can fit a comfortable 12 - 14 plants in. I'm not worried about the grow being super quick. Just after something that produces quality and is a bit easier on the electric.
Only planning to grow medium size autos.

I've been growing photo's and auto's with led I started with hps. I'm going to start growing photo's only and going back to MH/HPS. I find the LEDs just don't penetrate well enough. I am basing this on not so expensive LEDs though. Unfortunately at the moment I can't afford a top notch led so back to hps it is for now. If you can afford an expensive led then great but if not stick with the hps until you can

Will add growlightsaustrailia to that list.

Best advice is take some time to look around the led section and look at what others are using and don't rush into anything.
Avoid cheap blurple LEDs from amazon , they veg wel but fail in flower unless you have the same or more power usage .
If your going to change then the LED needs to be more efficient.

Take your time to understand what makes a good LED.

HLG is my brand of choice for LEDs. Although I have recently discovered BudgetLEDs which uses pretty much the same parts HLG does for slightly cheaper.
