    I aint got a best light but I am using HID + LED combined, im running my 600 sunmaster HID dimmed to 250 dual spec plus 400 on the skyline LED I find the mix serves me well in the flowering chamber, in my veg cab im running 200 watts skylines x 2 single panels ive never flowered anything out with jest the LED tho.

    Here is the lights

    Flowering chamber






    Veg cab







    Running temps is what I like they bright as fuk and run a lot cooler than HID totally different light types by far

    Great googly moogly...

    mine has to be my cmh315,output v running costs are excellent.
    next would be my 200w led,for same reasons,and last would be my 600hps,which while very good for growing is very expensive in comparison to the others plus in my small space heat problems are daily occurances

    all do the job fine though for my low requirements but the 600hps would be chosen if i could afford the electric.but then 2x 315cmhs would totally perfect and that was the plan before being made redundant at work.


    i know what i mean anyway

    Pretty chuffed with budget Mars Hydros LEDs tbh.

    As long as you bypass the marketing "watts" then you will have your expectations met and exceeded. LED grams per watt for the win!
