I just purchased 144x 3w reflexor ( purchased from Sara / sponsor) and have 50x3w UFO ( purchased ebay,both China made).
I also use 40w (250 led's, ebay) & 3w (3 led, ebay). From what I learned is most sellers target the flower spectrum and very little on veg
Check out the forum topgrowlight here at 420.
This is my first grow and this was the only place that got me real feedback ( u should get some good feedback )
This is my first flowering ( wht widows )
144x3w is super great at penetrating photosyn .
UFO 50x3w , need's to be close and does not do a good job @ flowering( its a 9 band and was to be for flowering)
The other lights are for side lighting , but for my size (3-6 ladies) the 144x3w has impressed me ( almost double size bud)
Yeah ur right, it hard to find honest answer on LED's , but i met a few good people here that all want to grow huge yield's.
Best of luck Mate
Cheers

P.s - its a nice -15F here today , but widows under darkness to fatten up (my friend's @
set me up and they grow with led's- Dennise , Graytail, BID are just a few good folks )
