Depends on how much money you want to spend..
As a budget grower I'm going to say vipar would be more friendly to the wallet and their specs are impressive for the price.

You should also consider Phlizon lighting as well, they have very nice lights at affordable prices.

Thanks for your kind advice. I will compare and then decide.

Keep an eye on the Black Friday deals, all of the light manufacturers will have them-this is the best time of the year to get lights with the discounts. Check out Medicgrow for another less expensive option that still makes good lights, and HLG for higher end lights-I love both of those because they only use white/red chips, the light they produce looks quite nice.

There are a few companies out there that are providing some very nice lights and it's hard to choose.
Vipar is a good
Phlizon is another hidden gem, "impressed with their lighting"

On my Scorpion Diablo it says “Made in USA with domestic and global parts”
So even if a light is “made in USA” it’s probably simply assembled in the USA with some foreign parts.

I even have product that say "designed in Canada, manufactured in China"
Everything is made in China these days it seems "not saying anything bad, just an observation".

Agreed with everyone saying this made in America thing gets old.
nothing is made here. It is assembled here at best. The only things that matter is if the company has a reputation to uphold. HLG as an example has a reputation to uphold. So when HLG communicates with their manufacturer in china they say “I want the best and will pay the best.” It’s as simple as that. Budget brands will say “I want the best within this price range.”
I know from past experiences when buying large amount of iPhone replacement screens. It’s the SAME manufacturing plant that apple uses. The only difference is you get what you pay for. They will produce a wide range of products with different ratings. Of course when you buy larger amounts at a time you get steep discounts.

Neither. I'd wait until Friday when HLG's 25% off sitewide sale starts. It ends Monday. HLG assembles a lot of boards here in the US. The diodes are not from China either like a lot of people seem to think.
