Hello all, although you don't care.. my story is I had to sell everything when I moved and I've been watching the led threads for awhile. I think I've decided to build my own led set up but these have come into the market somewhat recently (to my knowledge) they have a high par value and are less than a 1$ a watt. I'm looking for something thats cheap on power so my power bill goes unnoticed:) These seem to be much better than the other "180 watt true draw, 1000 watt replacement" lights ive seen but I would be buying around 6 to get a 1000 watt grow so I dont even know if its worth it at that point .. couldnt find any threads on these.. What do you pros think?

They are on amazon just copy and paste this into google (newbs cant post:)

The light you suggest puts out 1180µmols/s for about 600 watts but I'm reading about 600w hps that do about the same such as the Lumatek High Par HPS 600w umol/s 1030 and 1000 watt bulbs such as the PLANTASTAR SUPER HPS DE 1000W @ 2100 UMOL so now I'm questioning if such an investment is even worth it or are my numbers wrong

If you're purchasing 6 of those, dont. That's a waste on cheap LEDs. Do a bit more research into quality LEDs, such as strips, COBs or boards.
90% of the lights on amazon are cheap and not worth it.
They can claim to replace 1000w hps with 200w all day long. Doesnt make it true.
You can replace 1000w hps with around 600w or so, if quality LEDs

The total light value for the HPS bulb is a bare bulb value - reflector losses will typically eat up 20% of your photons, so actual usable light from the 600W is closer to 800-900 uMols/s. Since COBs are a planar type of emitter, rather than omni-directional like HPS, COBs do not suffer that loss.

Consider instead, 600 watts of F-series strips. 16 of the 22" strips at 1580 mA will give you over 1400 uMols/s at 600 watts.

Just another blurple junk light, IMO. The claim of higher PAR is specious as they give no actual PAR values.

Are these single row strips this mention? I can't get a grasp on all these different strip types names...

Ya... That's why I'm interested... Is that with digikey prices or arrow?

They are both roughly the same. A DIY build of 16 strips, 600W of power is about $250 for the strips, $40 for the heat sinks, and $70 for the supplies, add another 20 bucks for miscellaneous stuff and you're at $380.

Couple things I want to reply to, there is par values given in one of the pictures, it shows it has about twice the par value of similar lights such as the BESTVA 180w / 1000w , this is what sparked my interest. Also the replacing 1000w hps with these 180w lights is not true, obiviously since the bestva says the same thing but has a much lower par so if it wasnt clear already thats just marketing.. one company did it and then all the rest of the cheap lights did it, thats why I said 6 would be a 1000 watt grow. Anyways with these higher par values in mind do these have a place in small scale growing or do you guys think the diy options are worth doing soo much so that one should forget these cheaper options

This is absolutely top quality, higher efficacy and cheaper, with 480 watts less electricity and heat.

Nope. The driver cost is already in there. I use 350 watt Mean Well LRS-350-24 drivers that cost about $35 each - note the above line "$70 for the supplies"....
