Thanks for these lists. Always appreciate your work!

The growers choice roi-e720 made the list again!!! That is my favorite light that ive used. I really want the roi-e900! Ive had 20 some leds now. from the warranty to the end results are just better are just better with GC. Warranty isnt a 5 year but we only pay for 1 year then u pay everything besides parts they actually cover u those 5 years. Im a proud growers choice user and led grow light depot customer. I just got the master controller and uv from u gugs couple weeks ago excited to see the difference.

Thanks for the upload....looking to upgrade this year and this is very helpful. ✌️😎

Great info, looking to replace my old optic led setup

I’m using a 2x4 tent right now with 2 mars hydro ts1000’s with 50% light at 24 inches and the plants love it. They’re 2 weeks into veg in coco

I love my PhotonTek 1000W CO2 Pro , I have ZERO complaints about it. I am so glad that I made the switch over from.HPS/MH . Shop around I might add as well ! I only.paid 1500 for mine.

Just received my first light I ordered from u guys. I got the spider farmer g4500 for my 2x4.. absolutely love it!!!!! 💯 great price also. Great job guys

If I were u get an apelila 8000 just give it a try u can never go wrong with an extra plus it’s an unbelievably great light and very cheap 60$ sometimes on eBay and it outperforms my spider farm 4x4 and mars hydro same size amount and has a bloom boost switch that really puts down the flower density it has to be this brand a lot of lights have this style but they used awesome diodes in this brand I stopped using my 500$ spider farm and went back to one of these apes for the 3x3 I guarantee you’ll be glad u got one if not I’ll buy it for what u paid I’m that confident 👍

I got the medic grow spectrum x from you guys and I love it.

I was looking for a couple lights to go in a little bedroom. Get rid of my high pressure sodium. Thanks a lot

Thank you for this video ! I’m upgrading.

I always look forward to these annual videos.

I use the Volt VL1 in a 2x4 Gorilla tent and have had awesome yields. $350

Just got in the PhotonTek X1000W Pro. Its so damn powerful! Had the Mars Hydro brand for 3 years, 2 800W lights, than a 1000W light... both sets burnt up so we switched to PhotonTek👌🏻 Got it from Led Grow Light Depot🔥

How can we say best if we don't have real world test? We need yield and quality test

Nice write up. I have the Mammoth 6 bar and the Chilled Growcraft X6. Both great lights!

Hey bud thanks for the video. It made me think about - the fact that all par charts I can find are all done in a certain size space, depending on the light size of course. My question is what's the best bang for your buck with NO walls or tent? I grow in an open space - more, or less. (basement with panda film). Thanks for all you guys do for the community. Love that mint bar by mammoth led. Just out of my range for sure!!!

Just build a panda film curtain that is attached to your light with the footprint you want. Cut it so that it's the same length as your ideal light distance. So if your ideal height is 16'', make it 16" long below the light. When the tops hit the bottom, raise the light. You might need to add some weight or staple cardboard to panda film to stiffen the bottom edge to prevent blowing around, and to keep the shape. Leaving the plants open allows for fans to circulate air below the canopy.

I may build a greenhouse built into the side of house, would put a few 4 ft lights along one side, may use a grow tent for seed start, recommend some lights ? i like KIND 420 , but using Viparspectra right now, happy with them as well, mostly for vegtables possible " flower " 4x are legal here

I’m looking for small grow light for a small collection of house plants on a multi shelf stand, what would you recommend. Or are you just into the big fancy lights?

Great info!

MIGROW Aray modular lighting systems rock ... come with external controllers and can be configured into multiple lights, and adjusted to multiple heights within one tent.

@@eagle1492 I have 2 sets of MIGRO ARAY 8 lights, each running in a 4x4 tent .. for about a year now.. yields went way up. It's a high quality product, worth the money.

Thanks for the great advice on a topic I know makes me feel stupid when trying to understand all the charts and numbers that get posted about the various lights. Dirty secret I actually bought most of my current DWC set up from both the Chinese and US mega online retailers. So please understand that I’m a lazy consumer. Anyway I think that it’s a really good thing that cheaper brands are able to make lights with the same or very similar components for a budget price point. I’m running a 4x4 tent with 4x 150w draw power Viparspectra xs 1500 with the Samsung mean well combo and I couldn’t be happier

Thank you.

I know you mentioned ebay, you couldn't be more correct. However, I did purchase two Spiderfarmer SF-4000 for $500 and both work great in two 3x3 tents at 25% to 50% output.

Hey bro I’m looking into getting a spider farmer sf-4000 for a 4x4 grow tent, have you had any issues with them and do you still recommend

The ProGrow 1800 is the deal honestly and at $420 gets you get a very capable system. The problem is that thing is almost impossible to find. I found one place that looked like they had it but then it said not in stock. Another place only sells to businesses and you have to buy a minimum of 12 lights. I found at Costco a set of 4 recessed LED lights that are 6,500k on the high setting and 75 watts for $20. I'm going to get 2 or 3 sets and mount them close together on a piece of plywood and see how that does. I think it will perform fine for a small crop if you keep them close to the plants.

How does the Solar Storm 880 LED stack up against these new lights today?

There's the huge panel one, the smart lights with cooking fans & heatsinks us programmable, or the bar system that's just like the 1st one on the video... also the bar lights are foldable. I DESPERATELY NEED SOME HELP DECIDING. I WAS GONNA BUY AN ENTIRE TENT KIT AND THESE ARE Samsung Diodes. Even the intake/outtake fan is part of the programmable smart system. So on the tent is a control panel or use your app on phone.

And and spider farmer isn't Chinese LOL the G Series diodes are made in the USA LOL...

No grandmasterlevels

Someone who just want to get rid of his 1000 watts HPS only needs 500 Watts in LED, because it is twice as effichent as HPS. Most people will not need more than 200 watts of LED.

BESTVA BAT 400 only $289.....better specs than a $1000 light.....gotta Buy it off their Website Though.....

These lights are all way too much money both in terms of cost and electricity. I use a Happy Lead Procyon Pro. It’s made in the usa, only uses 68 watts. I had a spider farmer sf2000 and the happy leaf produces twice the results and plants that look way healthier. I have 4 tomato plants growing under it now and they are doing phenomenal.
