LED's. Looking for a recommedation

[Freakshow]

I'm looking to upgrade to LED's for flower for the summer growing season. I know some folks that swear by the Fluence Spyder fixtures, but I don't have $1500 to drop on each light. I need something that will compete with a 1K watt HPS 4x4 area for each light.

any thoughts, ideas, experiences, what are you using???

yes the commercial ones are way expensive..and some of them are good..
you can cut the cost in half if you buy from DIY co's..and assemble your self
..do not expect to pay less than that for the quality..
all the bells and whistes are not necessary..but you need about
600w of quality led panels or cobs one is as good as the other....

i can get some more of my custom panels made and drop ship them
but it will cost you half the price you mentioned ..
its still too much for most people..

cobs

6 x 250 w panels driven at 100w each[lowerwattage higher efficiency]
..no heatsink..just a fan on em

that is the plan - get everything switched out to LED for the summer. There's no way I could do LED in the winter though. i need that heat for the grow rooms and my house. PM sent. Sorry to rehash old info though. I didn't see the other thread.
