Hello Diskokobaja, Are you only looking for a ready made plug N' grow solution or are you open to the idea of DIY?
I think folks here could walk you through a DIY build within your budget.

If you are only after buying a ready made fixture and feel you have done due diligence on the lights you mentioned. I say go with what you can afford. Start a journal to show how you got on. If you are satisfied, fairplay to you.

I have had my hand held through a few DIY builds by members here. There is always someone who can help.
Whatever you decide, please feed yourself first and any moths that look hungry second.

Cheers,
Will

Have you considered a 315W LEC CMH for a 3'x3'?

Not sure what these would cost you where you're at but worth looking into.

Cheers

the photon 6 is usd 700.00 so I dont really see it as being that good....considering that it will put out about the same as 1 Northern Lights panel.....

oh....actually usd 513.00 but yeah the photon is not gonna cover that area...maybe a 2x2 and anything beyond that will drop significantly....thats why the guys you contacted were telling you 2 fixtures of theres....leading you to optimum coverage for your area......to be completely honest....to cover your area with optimum light you are gonna have to spend about 700-800 usd ....it would be better off to run a 600w hps.....with a hyperfan which only runs 30watts along with a cooltube which is also all that will run you about 350.00usd....

if i want to try luck with china i would buy geyapex, coz it has at least 2 grows in progress with it,and its similar with platinum... i have chinese cell phone,and untill somethis brakes everything is peaches and cream, but when problems starts then you see whats #fun#, plus im payin export taxes when shipping something back,thats the main thing that favored photon against solo400..coz its eu based store,and owner is grower too.. u mix some information tasty and northern told me that i need two of their leds and that is just too pricey for me, so this is the most middle solution i got .600w hps?? dude i got 400w hos with cool tube and in the summer without ac forget growin, and you reccomend 600??!!! Like i sad this is the cheapest eu based panel which isnt trash,so i will go with him..

The flowering room is 15 x 10. I was referring to the footprint for each one of the 3 sets of plants in the room, all under 1000 watt HPS lights. 3 rows of plants, 3 lights being replaced.

Yes, each footprint is 4' wide x 5' long. I can post up some pics, but I'm not sure what that's going to accomplish beyond a basic description. I want to replace three 1,000 HPS lights in my flower room, each covering a 4' x 5' area. What's my best bet?

been gone most of the weekend CANNA EXPO!!!

anyways I can tell you know, if you want to do it right, and get close the same yields, its not gonna be cheap.

maybe you can replace w/ 6 CMH's and cut about 900 kilowatts. I know a few people still doubt cobs/leds and are throwing in CMH's in their rooms.

TBH, you would be a fool to completely replace your lighting solution. in one leap of faith.

try just one 5x4 with something, I'm pretty surprised by the little T2-2100 from tasty, and it got lots of comments at canna (RAZ hope you don't mind)
if you got x3 T3-2100 you would kill it(5x4) http://www.tastyled.com/product-p/t3-2100r.htm

What about the 1k from black dog ? $2800 that's a helluva lot of cash. I would like to make the switch from hps or atleast get my feet wet supplementing my hps. What is the best bang for your buck in a plug and play setup?

Black dog is ridiculously over priced for what you actually recieve.
