Hey folks
I and a couple other folks have been given LED panels to test. I have been given this light
192x3w - $496.84 : TOPLEDGROWLIGH, Solutions Limited,LED GROWLIGHT,LED BULB,LED TUBE,grow lights,t5 grow light,hps grow light,fluorescent grow light,grow light bulb,grow light bulbs,marijuana grow light,growing light,cfl grow light,indoor grow light,
It is a large panel with both VEG and BLOOM settings. I plan to take a plant from seedling to bloom as a test.

First impressions...
The unit was packed well and was lighter than some smaller panels I have. This unit was half the depth of other panels I have, SWEET! It was very cool that I got
real instructions, a nice introductory card and coupons.
Two BIG issues for me right out of the box. First the power cord. AHHHHHHH 6'? AHHHHHH Folks these lights go on the ceiling and the power cord needs to be
at least 12' right? and the one that came did not seem, industrial strength, more of a computer cord. Second the light harness. The light harness seemed strong enough to hold up the light...but...it connected all four corners to one clasp. I have learned one fail point will fail. So I got another harness and now have two fail points and soon I will have four. Can you tell I have had a panel smash plants before? Anyway 12' heavy duty power cord and at least 2 fail points for a harness would be nice.
Then I turned it over and checked the work side... cool. Each diode has its own reflector.
I replaced a 400 watt MH hood with this light and its footprint is very similar, I was impressed by that. I have decided to grow from seedling to bud the way most folks would do. I have only used the veg lights. I want to turn them all on!! but I am not gonna do it for two reasons, first cause that is what many folks will do and second I want to save power damn it!
Veg setting on
And finally set up
