Ok, so people might think I am crazy at this point but I decided to take the last few week with LED Lights.
I have been running to this point 800 Watts of HPS and you can see the Flowers / Growth was doing ok.

Here is what I switched too after LONG Debate with Wife, and research on the web...

1 x 600 Watt BLACK STAR - lighthouse ( from Gotham hydroponics )
Here is what I ran into:
the light said 600 Watts on Ebay but what I got was a 300 Watt sticker on the back, so after talking to Sean and Victor from Gotham Hydro, I ordered an additional light to get my 600 watts. ( They said the 300 watts produces 600 watt equivalent )
So according to them, I am now getting 1200 watts of LED power for only 450 Watts of ACTUAL DRAWN POWER- confusing, but I let the pictures tell the story.
They sent me a WHITE 300 Watt UNIT until my Black Star came in ( THIS IS THE BEST COMPANY HANDS DOWN!)
1 x 300 Watt (TRI -BAND)
I then went down and purchased a KILL-A-WATT Meter, to see how many ACTUAL Watts these lights draw.

I was surprised to find that they run very efficient.

I have this $13.00 meter for my soil that measures (Light, PH, Water) So I put it under the LEDs to see how strong of a light they REALLY are... I was happy to see that these 2 LEDs registered the same amount of Light that my 800 Watt HPS at the same distance. So I Dropped the LEDs down a little and noticed that the outside babies did not get so much light, so I raised the LEDs back up to cover the full 5 FOOT x 5 FOOT area. Look at the pictures, they speak for them self.
*** The meter does register MORE light from the Black Star LED!

I am now noticing the Flowers blooming better too. Again take a look at the pictures.

As soon as I get my second Black Star LED I will take more pictures.
