Dear fellow growers! I kindly ask you to give me strong advice on LED lighting. Specifically, which COMPANY and MODEL is currently THE BEST. For plants, of course - not for the wallet. Price and economic considerations are also important to me, but not the most. Thanx & regards

Go to YouTube and search for "Migrow". They have reviewed many/most grow lights and offer honest, hard numbers for cost, light output, energy efficiency and construction.

@Ezzjaybruh I think i have finished my adventure with HPS lamps - i have 3 GAVITAs in a lumber room. Although they brought me a lot of joy, but also not a little of trouble. Not only with bills. Especially in summer because of the high temperature. Plus having to change bulbs (too) often ... and so on. I recently got medium-quality LEDs (Made in China) and i see & feel a definite difference in their favor. Not only because of my own comfort in growing, but also because of the plants themselves. For example, the same varieties under LED grow almost twice smaller as under HPS, and the yield is (as i see) certainly not worse (maybe even better - i don't know that yet). Growing Jack Herer under HPS or any Sativa i always ended up with the tops curling up on the ceiling well above the level of the lamps, where there was no light and the best buds were burnt. So far, i don't regret switching to LEDs - quite the opposite. But those bar style LEDs you mentioned intrigued me a lot - i will definitely take a closer look at them. Thanks a lot & all the best to you!

I’d highly recommend the bar style LED lights. Excellent even coverage. This will be crucial when filling a large space. It will be pricey tho. You could do HPS like double ended 1000w for a cheaper buy in up front but higher energy bill. When I say bar style I’m talking like the mars hydro FC or FCE series. I have the FCE4800 and love it

They do have then crazy 1000W grow lights now by phoenix or something. Good light just pricey as fuck. All manufactures top end line will be impressive flat out. gotta find out what one you like in terms of looks and features. some bend, some dim, some don't. I use an off brand called SunBlaster, they are a Canadian company that I started out with. It's definitely not the best light on the market but I like them. Good Luck!

Big Thanks @Hashy & @AsNoriu ! Currently my growing room is small - 1 m². But in the spring (and that's soon) i'm going to convert the entire garage (over 20 m²) into a grow room. And the only thing i need is the best possible lighting (not just one lamp). Everything else i have already prepared. So again, big thanks to both of you for drawing my attention to specific products. All the best!

HLG if you have £ ;) I tested few Mars hydro models, was surprised how well SP series was made. They have new range now, with better coverage, would be great but with smart £ ;)

3 companies to look at that have reasonable price lights that do a good job. No particular order. Viparspectra, mars hydro, spider farmer.
