So I just pulled the trigger on one of these quality pieces of imported technology. For 110 bucks, why not? Even if it does only give off roughly half the advertised power, I could buy 6 of them for the price of a Kind LED. Is it foolish to think that one of these will outperform CFL by itself?

It will probably be about the same as CFL in reflectors. (I see a lot of people using CFL without reflectors, losing a lot of light. So, I have to qualify my view that way.).

It will be interesting to see what you think after a grow. You can't go wrong for $110. (It's the overpriced rebranded epi-whatever lights like Kind where it gets painful.).

I have seen plenty of grows done with those babies and the work pretty good for the price. I picked up the marshydro 300w ( white one) my girls love it I'm definitely getting another for a 2x4 tent $63 free shipping.

Can I just swap lights from CFL? I have 2 sativa bagseed ladies about 6 weeks into flower. Can I just swap from CFL to LED midflower?

I swapped a couple days ago and have the LED about 12 inches away and 2 40 watt CFL bulbs for sidelighting (and to keep the temps up a bit) looking very happy. Maybe 2 or 3 weeks left.
