Very best of the best

I'm looking for a LED light for my patio, to supplement shorter hours of sunshine.

I'm not really concerned to much about cost, or the wattage.

I am interested in both penetration, and coverage, but mostly quality and efficacy of the light.

Can anyone help me with their own personal experience?

Solar storm would be awesome to try .. Can't be bothered to find a link, search google :b

If money is no object and Cree = EVOLED EVO v3 then put me down for Cree.

I emailed these guys asking for a final price on the evo v3 70w shipped to my home state in the US and maybe you guys can help me here, why would they ask for ssn for shipping...they mentioned it was for customs...sounds sketchy, but I cant remember ever having to so this with any international purchases or shipments before, but it has been ages so maybe I just don't know? Anyone?

Here's the email I got from them, I think it is odd they ask for social security numbers, does anyone else or does anyone know if this is normal for intl shipments?

Please for the love of God do NOT give these weasel fucks you SSN! That is a number that is supposed to be used by the Feds only, so unless they're DHS they got no business taking that number from you. States and schools aren't even supposed to use it so I can't think of any reason to give them this number. I only linked to that site to get some good views and info on those panels. Is there anyone in the LED business that is honest? The only reason they want that number is to steal from you. Sorry about that!

Yeah red flags started to go off as soon as I read that. Too bad because I probably would have tried out one of their products.

That 800 watt solarstorm with uvb looks interesting, as it should at 2k bux. Anyone have any experience with those?

Strange I inquired about their lights..........didn't ask me for ssn...
They quoted me at $484.00 with shipping to PA for the Evo 90(v3)....
Its just too much money for a 78watt(@the plug)led light........wouldn't cut me a break even if I bought two.....so looking elsewhere..

edit: I've ordered international products before/never been asked for an SSN.......Sounds very fishy stay away!!!

anyone checked these out http://www.myindoorgarden.com/full_spectrum_white_led_grow_lights they were advertised in a rosebud mag i got from my local grow shop

I'm curious, they advertise square coverage e.g. 2x2, 3x3, 4x4 etc, but all of the lights are very rectangular... I wonder how that works....

1........prices are ridiculous..
2.......how are you going to flower with hardly any red (specs-nm)?????
3......They openly advertise the fact they use Epistar leds(lol)....not terrible with their red leds but all white(cree more than doubles them lm/w @350ma)
4......$$$$$$$$$$$$$yeah that much money for Epistars.......sounds like a rip to me........Its just my opinion...be safe/happy growing..

HGL Technologies 336X-PRO times five (2500 watts at plug) with 2600 watts fluorescent surround, 1000 watts being Reptisun 10 tubes.

So far so good, added a 10,000 K HID last nightfor a little extra blue on top. I hate yellow leaves, the blue helps.

Growth is about +10% over the 4000 watts of HID's that used to be overhead.
