Most of the LED guys hate those lights. They say they are top 1 or 2 pieces of shit. Ive never used one so don't take my word for it. You could search engine it and see what they say.

Trouble with the LED guys is that if it wasn't developed last week and it isn't a DIY and if they didn't build it then its crap.
Its amazing some of those guys actually get time to grow anything with all the time and money they sink into lights. They are constantly upgrading shit.
.Just speaking as a confused non tech person.

You're better off with this:
http://www.rapidled.com/vero29-triple-cob-array-kit/
Black
2100B driver
Normal Vero so you can use reflectors
I would ask for one 4000K and two 3000K.

I cannot comment from experience, but i've been looking to upgrade my lights to led aswell. And from most of the information i've seen, people tend to switch out their mars lights with either Cob's(chip on board) or Quantumboards/Chilled.
Me personally after all the research I have done, decided to go with quantumboards. Unless new tech comes out within the next few weeks I'll be looking at 2k watts of quantumboards
I suggest that you check out growmau5 on YouTube! He has great knowledge on the subject of led, he even has videos up where he talks about Mars led and other types of led manufacturers in that same category. But most of all I recommend watching his "led for noobs video. I learned so much there, it definetly set me on the right path

I think that they say the LED light contains full spectrum is totaly shit. As a cultivator you should know that only the blue and red spectrum do work on your plants. And the add some littel other spectrum and then said they have a full spectrum led light and it is pretty good for your girls.

For 200-220$ you can get:
- 12x Samsung F-Series strips, single row, 864pcs of LM561c S6/A1 bin, ~175lm/w @700mA, ~145$(arrow, digikey)
- 1x HLG-185H-C700B, 50$(200w)
- alusheet, 3mm thick, 2'x3', 5$(scrapyard)
Or choose 12x Bridgelux EB series for 84$ to save ~60$ on LED's and choose a bigger driver like the HLG-320H-C1050B to get ~300w with ~160lm/w.
They are as efficient as COB's and you can spread the light evenly over your canopy.

What is the size of the area you want to light up?
If your looking at lights like mars take no notice of the 600w and read the small print for the true wattage.

Don't paint all "LEDs guys" with the same brush! And a Mars really is a POS. Personal experience.

This is 200w of my LED light crushes the mars you can make one for about $250-$300 depending on who you buy from
or like on my other post checkout Grow Green LED has a 200w kit only $220 https://growgreenled.wordpress.com/ all you'll have to do is add a plug to it and you're done

You really need to shelve that ancient video. It's embarrassing. You got your ass kicked by a mars panel and keep posting it like it's something to be proud of.
