I was looking at those Apollo panels for a long time, if you get one and it works out for you I will probly grab a couple myself, getting products from China scares me because there is some cheap shit out there that is not worth the $

i hear, that if it was one cent, it was too much. i think the led thing is just a money suck. i have two flower lights. a 600, and a 1000. both, at this time, are sunmasters. i also have a 8 tube t-5 ho. for veg, and a 4 tube t-8. the sun is the best light. leds seem like a joke, for they have no intensity. lol. but, who am i? i never used a led. they look like wimp city. like. like al gore, or something.

Do your home work. Hid is prehistoric tech and a thing of the past. So many leds are destroying hps. Over a year ago there was thread on here where me and several other people did par t5. Using aquarium bulbs on a t5. Let me tell you a 1000w couldn't even step to that. I got.0.8- 1.2 grams per watt. The best a 1000 can do is 0.6 grams per watt. In my side by side I got 5 more zips than under a 1000w.. All same strain. Granted it takes a lot of money upfront but its worth it. You just have to get good leds. There are some shitty ones out there.

Top leds. Not in order

Hans led
Area 51
apache tech
Vipar
Astir
Diy leds

Decent budget led
Bysen
Apollo from cidly.

For hid Philips allstart 330w cmh kick.Ass too.

Hahaha...Classic...! :D

You have to remember that it doesnt suit everyones situation to have a high wattage draw HID.....LED's have let new growers to enter the hobby/business side, and allow small spaces to be used to grow the 'erb... :)

I've never used HPS. But I'm not going to pretend I know about HPS in a thread where questions are asked.
