I’d say no unless you got at least 500£ to spend on one! LEDs are fucking shit unless you got big £, I did one on a led which was suppose to be 600w from eBay for 60£ little did I know that it was actually 60w and I got a fucking 3.5 of a plant lmaoo that shit sucks! I recently got a hps for my one after the led and got 2oz from each plant!

whatever you do don't listen to kingrow, he's out here to fuck you over for sure,
he's in my sig for a reason....
look up some quantum board kits. fucking lifesaver. used to run 1200W HPS + a 1200W ac to keep it cool. took out 2 600w hps bulbs and replaced them with 800W of quantum pucks. took out my ac and boarded up the hole. what was 2400W is now a third @800W and WAY BRIGHTER!

You may be the most immature person I've ever met here on RIU -- and that's saying a lot.
Ever heard of Asperger's Syndrome?
I'm pretty sure you suffer from it.
Good luck with that...
Dude I have aspergers and I'm not that bad.

Any ideas on which led setups are definitely going to perform for me? All I know about is black dog and I would prefer a cheaper alternative that doesn’t compromise on performance if that’s even possible, thanks for reply

If you have more floor space you could use the same amount of power and cover more plants.
If not, and you already have HPS stuff, stick with what you have until it breaks, then swap over.

Cheers bro
Why don’t they come fully assembled?

because they are very simple to put together and they can give it to you cheaper that way. less man hours by them, cheaper for you.

Black Dog is a fucking scam. You want anything with COBs, QBs, or Bridgelux EB or Samsung F strips. They should be brand name, either Bridgelux, Cree, Citizen, or Samsung. Try any of these RIU sponsors:

That makes sense, if you had to buy a fully assembled light ready to go which would you choose?

they arent lensed so no. I think it would be very rare to find a waterproof grow light.

I would focus on the climate control, then get other lights.
