What LED type and brand have you used that you'd get again?

Kwince · May 11, 2019

Looking to get a new LED-- maybe COB, maybe white light. Don't want Kings. Don't have tons of cash. Running total of 3500W that are getting dimmer by the day and need to supplement.
Please don't reccomend something other than an LED type fixture cuz that's what I run. Using LEDs for safety/peace of mind. There is no fire department to call in case something stupid happens. THANX!

I've been very happy with my Timber COBs.

HLG 65's in my 3x3 tent for veg is where I started with LEDs. Liked them so much I bought 2 HLG 600 v2's for my 4x8 tent.

Or you can just buy them on AliExpress for $40 shipped if you want generic white LEDs. Samsung is Samsung is Samsung is Samsung regardless of who you buy it from.

I bought a LUSH light.. very expensive, lasted 1.5 grows.. no, I do not recommend them, CS sucks. CMH from here on.

Kwince · May 18, 2019

Thanks for the warning on Lush-- always heard you couldn't trust one. hehe
Anyway, I'm tired of so little yield from so many hours. I've decided to pony up some cash. Looking at HGL or HLG quantum boards. I like the idea of building them myself; looks more simple than I expected. That route takes me to HLG, but they don't offer a Meanwell driver separately, and I'd like to buy that brand.
On the other hand, the HGL Penetrators look verrrrrrry interesting. The quality of LEDs, 5 year warranties, all claims independently verified, made in the USA. I'm gonna try to find more posts on either of them. The HLGs that Amazon offers have a few devastating reviews, and I think one of the owners or engineers of HGL is an IC member.
Anyway, thanks for the reply.

URSA Optilux COB. Kick ass lights, kick ass company and customer service. I've been running two of them for almost two years. All grows that appear in my signature were done under these lights.

gladysvjubb · May 18, 2019

I have been using these. Very well made. Lots of bright white light. 56 plants under them now. Bring them all the way through flower with these lights with NO PROBLEM. Cheap and good. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Commerc...-000-Lumens-5000K-Daylight-50232161/302456569

Look for Forum Menu (in middle and at top of any page), then click on a forum. Not sure which, lol. Just joined myself; it's how I found instructions for posting pictures. Welcome and good luck?
