2x2x7 area. Ive tried 400 watt hps before and had to much heat issues. So here's the question. I found blackstar 100 watt led grow light UV for 160$

100W of LED isn't going to go very far, just a heads up.

Vergoth to be more detailed I have a couple 240W Taotronics. I would recommend at least a 240W in a 2x2x7. They can be purchased for right around $200 on amazon. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008MU049W/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) I had nice results but added a T5 during flowering to add heat and spectrum to the LED which made a huge difference.

I've got a single lemon kush flowering under a 90w taotronics ufo with a few supplemental cfls for the sides and she's loving it. For one plant a ufo would work, still need some cfls for the sides. I'd say one plant tops for a ufo. No more than one though

three 240w blackstars would cover the whole are nicely

Both panels will most likely not last a year without issues............its your $$ but I would buy something better IMO.

Blackstar 240 works pretty well.
