Best LEDs for 8x4 Flowering tent?

I plan to have a 4week veg tent (4x2x5) with a 400w ipower light system (already have it, not changing it), and a 8week flowering tent (8x4x7)

I don't know much about brands with LED grow lights, so I'm looking for the best recommendations. My budget is $1500, but it has to cover the ENTIRE tent, with as few lights as possible.

Only lights I've really considered is Black Dog and A51.

Please help me out, thanks.

I use grow evolution. Only my first grow with them but i dropped 1500 on 3 panels as my first LED purchase.

You could probably get 3 of these: http://www.growevoluion.com/lights/bud-boss-343/

They have a good bulk discount for basically buyin more than 1 of a single kind plus i got a discount code so let me know if you plan to purchase.

I have the same veg tent as you and a 4x4 flower tent that i plan to step up to a 4x8 soon.

Im using 2 of the 305w panels (which arent listed cause theyre out of stock) for my 4x4 and plan to use 4 of them for the 4x8

I only have one of the 305w panels in the veg tent. Ill probably step up to the 4x4 with 2 305s for veg when i get the 4x8 tent with 4-5 305s

What do you think about just 2x 900w BlackStars?

Ive never tried them but seen them ran with good results. Just pricey. But all LEDs are. Im not sure the 2 900s would cover a 4x8. Youd probably want 3. They only put out an actual 500 or so watts. i think. Most LED panels are about half of what they are named. But thats why i liked the growevolution.com lay out cause the 305s are 305 watts. Thats the dimmed wattage cause most if not all companies use higher power chips and dim them to manage heat better. So a panel with 300 3w chips on it only has them at about 1-1.75 ish watts per chip.

Those LED's look a lot like the G2 PARmaxx that Magnum sells.

But, hey, I judge a light by its ability to grow...dont care too much about what its called...and if thats working for you, awesome!~

BlackStars aren't complete junk, but on average, they don't have a very long life span.
Don't spend over a grand on lights that are going to start breaking down in a year.
Area 51 is the way to go for price and performance from an LED grow light company.
Grab some of their new all white LED panels and never worry about your lighting situation again.
