    Default LED 2x 1000w? Need advice

    Hi there guys basically brought two 1000w led lights the guy in the grow shop explained they are 1000w but use up less electric at 400w. But having looked on the net I've gathered that these lights will only put out 400w power each not the 1000w it advertises to be. So I'm so confused. Would much appreciate some more info and advice.

    The max power of the LEDs is 1,000w but the drivers only supply 400w to power it. It is to prevent premature LED failurs

    I found led to be awesome dude . No heat more usable light spectrum . And did insay no heat haha

    It is safe to that 1 watt of led is worth 2x HID . So if you count the electrical saving its 75% more efficient
