If you're gonna spend money like that you could buy this, with GreenG's discount code it will be closer to the Blackstar price:

Or you could become PSUagro's newest bestest friend in the world and buy this:

I've never seen an Ion in use, but from what I know of Lighthouse/Blackstar and the LEDs they use, it's not going to compete with the above panels. That's waaaaaay to much watts to produce the light it does, Guod only knows how much heat it generates because of the inefficiencies of the diodes. And that UVB will have little if any effect on the THC content of your plants. Even the PAR ratings are suspect, because once again Guod only knows what 12000K "whites" will do to a PAR meter's readings. I would avoid it. Best of Luck!

My buddy has the nine spot Ion 8 prototype model, think its advertised at 490 watts, awesome light, all I have to say about it, completely adjustable, though the actual model and the prototype are not designed the same way with spectrum layout and color arrangements, I cant imagine that the finished model wouldn't out perform the prototype, yes that panel is expensive, but I seriously doubt you would be disappointed by it.
