Advanced Platinum Series P150 150w 12-band LED Grow Light - DUAL VEG/FLOWER FULL SPECTRUM

I have done more research than probably necessary before buying this light, but I think it has paid off. The light itself is sturdy, appears very bright, and the spectrum mix matches well with the absorption spectrum for all major plant pigments. From a technical standpoint, this light is excellent.The real value of this light, however, is the customer service. They offer a 90 day return policy, plus a 5 year warranty. This simply doesn't exist with any of the other LED grow light companies out there. I called and spoke with Mark and he was very nice, intelligent, and professional and even customized a veg only model for me. I can't think of ANY company that makes electronic equipment that offers a warranty and customer service like this company does, let alone an LED grow light company.Could I have bought a cheaper light - yes...and I have before, but the cheaper ones do not have as great of performance and if they break, I'm out of luck, or worse I'm stuck trying to deal with someone directly from China. I'm only growing hydroponic leafy vegetables and some might argue this is overkill...I did the math - for the same coverage after 5 years this light is the same price when you factor in T5 energy costs and bulb replacements.Basically for a mid range price point you get a top tier light with the longest warranty on the market with some of the best customer service of any company I have ever dealt with. Feel free to search around - you will find cheaper models that don't work as well and higher priced models that work just as well as this with a worse warranty.As of now, I'm very impressed. Will update after I get a few grows under the light.UPDATE: Grows 22 heads of lettuce in 30 days in a 3' x 2' kratky system with the light 22 inches above plants. Lettuce directly under the light had the most red pigments show up. All plants were great though. Had some tip-burn on the plants directly under the light so I still need to play around with height and DLI. Will be growing cilantro and basil in center with lettuce on outside to avoid tip burn. PAR maps from company would be helpful ;)

I'd love to write a longer review, but so far this light is awesome. You can tell how much the plants love it. I only purchased one b/c I was worried about it atmw first, but now that I've seen what it can do I had to order another.Awesome light! For a smaller area I would definitely recommend two, unless you're growING smaller plants.Ended up with two of them and couldn't have been happier. The quality of my yields were incredible for my situation. Having the two P150's was nice for placing the lights how I wanted them. They are definitely powerful and mine are around 1-2 years old and I can't even imagine how much better they probably are now.Highly recommended. If you cannot afford them new then try purchasing them used. If you look and are patient you can find them (mine was in perfect condition... basically "open box" but around $50 less ).I'm hoping people finally got out of the old HPS MH thing where they swore LEDs would never be better... I've never grown anything with HID type lights but have seen setups--plenty--and they look like a fire hazard, are expensive, and require a lot of maintenance. I love technology and the way it evolves. Soon HID lighting will be prehistoric.I just cannot believe the results from the lights. I'd post pictures but(just "shouldn't")... hopefully I can get images of the next few fruits I'll be growing throughout the winter months... planning on strawberries maybe try growing them hydro and likely move in my blueberries, and then maybe some easy veg and herbs. I have a 300W light I was able to get for half the price at my local hydro shop and wouldn't mind adding that to the two P150's and maybe see if I can do a comparison.

i got one of these lights i did not even come with the hangers to hang the light and it is not as bright of a light as i thought it would be expected much better for the money you spend on these lights

The light works well! It's seriously really bright especially when you have both switches on!! The only thing that drops it down to 4 stars would be the amount of heat this gives off!! I was keeping stable temps in my closet and the first day I left this on, when I returned home my temps were reading a high of 86!! Nothing a carbon filter and extra fan can't fix though, besides this I would only recommend this as a supplement light with either another LED or an HPS! I just recieved mine about a week ago and added it to my vipar spectra 300w and it seems like the 2 girls are loving it! It has more of a width spread than anything as for the device itself has very spaced out led's and also is the shape of a long rectangle. Another thing is their 5 year warranty and 90 day money back gurantee! I mostly cJose this because of how other reviews were saying their device broke down and their warranty took weeks to return to them and I didnt want to risk having a light go out especially since I'm sending my 2 plants into flowering tonight! I hope this review helps, especially for growing medical mj because I was skeptical about buying it at first because everyone reviews it for garden herbs and tomatoes lol but as soon as this entered my closet i could tell they were loving it( a leaf or two got some light burn at 18") I raised it up to 24 inches to try to get my plant to grow taller since they are so bushy and at that height it could still sustain my plant under it Have a great day everyone! ( I will upload pictures later tonight once I remember)
