Whats the deal? Will it be an upgrade or downgrade? I could only take one plant to flower with 150wHPS. Hopeing for more Squar feet.

Also Who haspics of a grow with one 90w in fower?
There's quite a few threads here on RIU with growers using 90w UFO's. From everything that I have read and researched, a decent 90w UFO is about equivalent to a 250w HID system. There are a lot of new UFO LED units being made with more and more bands. If you pick up a good quality UFO, this would be a good upgrade from your 150w HID system.

...hmm. A 90w UFO is worth a whole lot more than a 150w HPS system. Wonder why the person traded you for a 150?...I hope it's a decent light. What brand is it?

LED is emerging as a favorite light source for indoor gardens. However, in order to be effective, LED grow lights must offer the precise wavelenghts and levels of lighting.
That's why at USA LED Light Systems, we only sell high-quality, American made grow lights. There's a large number of vendors who sell cheap, Chinese-made lighting that sounds like it might be similar to ours, but that leave their customers unsatisfied.

The LED UFO is the most revolutionary plant lighting product since the inception of High Pressure Sodium lamp. Consuming only 90 watts of power and producing virtually no heat, it boasts light intensity and growth rates exceeding that of a 600W HPS.

Make use of the pure LED light and suitable for the plant growing, which will make the flower longer and the vegetable grow quicker. Can save 50%-90% power comparing with the incan and fluorescent lamp.
LED UFO lights utilize high efficiency, wide angle 1 watt LED‘s, using only the exact spectrums required for plant photosynthesis. The light spectrum is tailored to the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll, caroten, phycoerythrin and phycocyanin. It's ideal for all phases of plant growth, and works well with any indoor garden, whether hydroponics or soil based.
The directional nature of the LED’s ensures 100% of the light is pointed downwards so no reflective material is needed. The low heat emission also eliminates the need for ducting and heat exhaust fans.

Hard to say if its an upgrade or not right now, you're going to have to go through a grow to see yourself if it was an upgrade or not. There's so many different UFO's out there, most of them are great during vegging but most aren't that great in flowering. There are some however that do quite well in flowering as well, but these units are much more expensive (~300-400 dollars).

According to the eBay listing it exceeds a 600w HPS, that is total rubbish. Let us know how it works out for ya.:leaf::leaf:
