@bulbi, I assume your talking about the Samsung PL025. Looks just like the Spyder made by fluence. Definitely nice.

@CRiSPrGrow, thanks for the info, I'll have to check out their lights. The LED market is flooding with a lot of different lights.

@@420_observer, I use a 5x5 tent with 1600w of HPS at the moment, really want to make the switch to LED but honestly I've been worried about the loss in yield and worry about the bud not being nice and solid but loose and airy. How many LED would you think I'd need for my tent? I was thinking about 3 electric sky es300. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

@BigChief612, 1) I use BOSSLED 1000W to veg, 2000W to flower. 2) Yes, I have numerous grows with LED [150w to 2000w]. 3) I see about 15 - 20% less with LED compared to MH/HPS. -> For me the difference in yield, is worth the trade off in the difference in heat, fan usage/noise, and overall power consumption. I'd recommend LED for tents or closets - if I got a whole room to use as a grow room I'd use MH/HPS. Greenhouse, go with the 4 foot T5 8 bulbs.

@@420_observer, which LED lights are you running? Have you used LED before? What kind of difference in yield have you noticed using LED over MH/HPS lights if you've used these in the past?
