    I have 2 of em, very good lights. I run one light per plant. Fine for novices and will see you thru many successful grows
    Did have a cheap chinese copy for a while, replaced that with my 2nd HLG QB from vivid after a grow and a half.

    It used to be HLG were the numero uno but other brands are starting to catch up and surpass them in terms of efficacy. Altho I do believe HLG have a new LED due soon that could push em back to the top

    Mars have upped their game with the TS range and are a very good alternative for a lower budget

    Never lose site of the fact that the Mars Rep was banned from here for leaking an Admins personal details!

    Then, of course, there was their total failure to support their product when they realised they had faulty LEDs & they were burning out on their panels - Their solution? They would send you some LEDs that you could solder on yourself - or send the panel back & they would give you a 10% discount on a new panel!

    I honestly have no good words to say about Mars & am very glad they no longer a part of this forum.

    Didn't know about the leak, probably before my time started here.

    You certainly wont regret the extra for HLG, as I say they are fantastic. My last 2 plants, Fast buds Purple Lemonade, pulled over a pound. I've more than grown my money back for the lights with just that one grow.
    VividLED will look after you.

    Everyone is a novice the first time they use one, btw.

    It'll take you one grow cycle to fully appreciate it but then you'll be comfortable in cranking up the power and lowering the light. I would suggest you get a Lux meter (under £20) to keep an eye on things - again, I barely use mine now as I have a plan in my head of Watts to height, etc. but it will certainly help you understand the power and the implications of lowering or raising the height and lowering or raising the Watts.
