LED panels

I know this has been asked and discussed a lot so I'm sorry. I searched for the answer but failed...

So I'm currently using a 600w Viparspectra reflector series.

Is it good!?
It seems to be working, but I'm also running 8 CFL bulbs with it.

I'm looking at getting a second setup for blooming, and wondering if I should get a second viparspectra panel or go with a different brand..

Phlizon has a 1200w panel for the same cost as a 600w viparspectra.

Any opinions?

Stay away and either save for a good led like HLG or timber or throw down on a cmh light

Welcome, Shitake
I'd suggest that you do a bit of research on lighting first. www.ledgardener.com would be a great resource.
Both of the lights you mentioned will grow weed but compared to current technology leds or even HID fixtures(HPS, MH) they can be 50% less efficient. That means for each watt of power pulled from the outlet your light will produce less light and more waste heat compared to current tech.
