Best/energy efficient LED setup for a 5x5 grow tent

I have 2 600w HPS currently in my 5x5, but I want to switch to LED because my energy bill is crazy. I've been looking at a few different lights, but I'm a little overwhelmed by the options out there. My current top choice is the Mars TS 3000W, but wanted to see if anybody had any better recommendations!

The Mars ts3000 draws around 500w. Not enough led for 25 sq/ft.
You should be looking for around 900w draw from the wall. Timber and HLG have some good lights. On the cheap, check out the Chinese light thread

I was looking at the PAR chart for both the Mars ts3000 & the HLG 550 v2 RSPEC & they both seem to have similar numbers. In that case, does the wattage still matter?

Another good LED I was looking at was the Panthrx by Crecer, which pulls 620W from the wall, 2.5 umol/j efficiency, and great PAR readings.

Wattage is the figure to go by. 35w per square foot is what you want. Some leds are are alittle better and some alittle less.
None are equal to 1200 watts HID at 500w draw
