Hey guys,
I'm now looking into buying an LED as I realized the price has dropped dramatically in the last few years. I'm a complete newbie when it comes to LED spectrum and which units are best. I will be growing in a wardrobe that has a 5 square foot base. It's 36" x 20" x 65". If I was using conventional lighting I'd have liked to do a 250 or 400W air-cooled with plenty of ventilation. Is there a best LED wattage for this size grow?
This will be a stealth grow so I need for it to be quiet.
These are the units I am looking at right now. I want to maximize yield/light intensity but I also don't want to do overkill. I also would prefer to not spend over $300 since it looks like there are some great units for under that price.

Or there are 3 dirt genius brands with UV lighting. 280 240 or 200 watts. Which would be the best size?
Also apparently they are for only flowering and you have to buy a separate unit for veg. Is this necessary or could I use the flowering unit for both? Otherwise I could just use CFL's or other conventional bulbs for vegging.

If you guys have other recommendations I'd love to hear them!
Looking forward to jumping on the LED bandwagon!
