What LED light system is the Best bang for your buck?
lalandedavidstarted grow question 5y ago
Hi guys I am starting to grow again, however I'm outdated on the light systems, I currently run a 1000 W dual Hid with ceramic socket but now I want to go with a Led Light System for veg and flower (I'm new to them) I have a budget of 500 for the setup what would you recommend?

Quantum Boards from Meiju or KingBrite on Alibaba is your best bang for your buck. Awesome products at a sweet price. If you message them you can bargain for a lower price.
Good luck

Viparspectra is pretty cheap if you're in the US or Canada. - Double the price if you're anywhere else.

Mars Hydro TS 3000 or 2x Mars Hydro TSW 2000 are good options. The first you can find for like 450, but some places sell for like 700 so don't overpay. The TSW 2000s are around $250 each but will cover a bit more area.

I use the spider farmer 1000, which is good for a 3x3 tent, i believe it was 175$
Mars hydro also makes some quality lights for around the same price for a 1000 watt unit. Happy growing.
