BID has a sweet panel... but watch this thread too. This 3 watt panel is doing an awesome job in veg. It has a veg and bloom setting that allows you save a pile of money not lighting 1/2 the LEDS while in veg. I am sure this panel will do well in bloom but for those that wish to see proof I can only go as fast as the ladies will go 
[/QUOTE]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
No flash
Thank you SmokeSara and TopLED folks I will try to do you proud.

Hey Buck, I just got one of these in my closet and I'm loving it so far. I can't wait to see how these perform, but so far, I've got to agree with an earlier post in this journal... "these may be the discount LEDs that are worth buying" or some such.
Those little girls are looking good
... I agree
he is still with me
