These LEDS seem legit to you?

I would say yes and no. Orange is pretty much useless for growing.
They are also overspecifying the capacity; Equal to MH/HPS light 600 to 800
Nor are they specifying true W output, probably 30-40% less than what they are saying.
Ledgrow.se has some good lights that proven themselves, I'm not sure if they deliver to EU.

Those lights are ok I don't see any reason to hate on it except for nothing said about the lens angles and that bullshit "Equal to MH/HPS 1,300 to 1,500 watt light". No 350w LED panel (thats how much power actually goes into LEDs on that panel you linked) is going to grow as well as 3-5x as much wattage in HID (they claim watt for watt their LED panel grows 3.71x - 4.28x better than HID and thats bullshit because the best LED panels might get 1.5x better at best and are usually about the same as HID).
I recommend you look up IrishBoy and SettingSun grows if you are interested in other brands of LED. Be weary of any company that claims their LEDs produce 370-428% more watt for watt than HID. If you are replacing a 400w HID replace it with 400w of LED, or maybe as little as 250-300w if its from a great company.

thanks for the info mate ill def take alook +rep
Thank, I made the switch from a 400w HPS system to my 1st Gen 2011 395w (total draw) Spectra LED from GLH
Here is a few pics for comparison to that one you linked to. This one has 12 wavelengths/bands/spectrums but its hard to tell the difference between some of them in these pics cause my camera sucks.

yeah i'd say the look into different company's my take on it so far has been the more the explain about their product the better it sell, obviously because they aren't trying to sell you shit.. good advice from these guys thus far everyone seems to be coming out with new stuff so it could be beneficial but you'll only know if you test them out. happy growing man

Blackdog LED lighte and Spectra both loog good
I emailed these two and another with questions got 2 replys one auto reply from spectra and a personal reply from Corry @ blackdog
and a reply when I thanked him for answering that led me to buy 2 BD220 and I already have the Procyon 100 watt that has worked great for vegging but wanted to try others
Look for at least 3 watt LEds for better penatration and bigger buds
Just my thoughts
