Hello, everyone. Finally i had a chance to talk here. I was looking for a LED grow light that can replace my present 400W HPS light. It spent me a lot of money on electricity bill so i had to find another option. Forgot to mention that my grow tent is 4ftx4ft. Any recommendation? guys.

More yield = justification and reduction of felt electrical bills. 1, 315w = 600w output result.

I found some cheap lights with good reputation on market.
I am comparing MarsHydro and Viparspectra. Anyone used these two lights before?
I watched many youtube videos and found there seems no difference between them.
Any suggestions?

In the lighting science sticky (top one in my signature) I recommended Roleadro for best budget led fixture, they all 3 have fan failure/longevity problems.

oh my god, there are a huge of LEDs on Ebay and Amazon.
It seems that MarsHydro and Viparspectra take a large part of it.
When i went into their official website. It seems that Marshydro is more professional.
Very surprised to see that they are finding testers for the new white color light.
I have sent them an email about that. Maybe i can get the first LEDs freely. Lol.

Finally, i have some time to continue finding the light after the new year holiday.
I plan to become an experienced grower this year. Lol. It is one of my goals.
So my attention is on a cheap beginner light. Any recommendation?

After reviewing some videos on youtube, i made the decision to go with MarsHydro.
I got one Mars reflector 192 for my 4x4 tent to replace 400W HPS light.
I spent 290USD for this light with coupon code"Bruce" on their official website.
Hope it can work well like the videos have shown.

So far, the reflector 192 works well in 4x4 tent.
My babies will go into flowering stage soon. What a pity that i cannot upload some pictures here.
LED light is super cool compared to HPS light. I helped me saved 15% electricity bill last month.
