Hi there, I'm looking for the best LED light available for a 4x4x7 foot area. Looking to scrog. I'd also like if it had both veg and bloom modes. Thanks guys!

Personally im building at diy cree 3590 setup for that exact size tent at the moment...
I went with 10 x cree 3590, 3500k cd bin... running them at 1400ma wich gives 50w to each light...
From my research if you want to go led they are by far the best...
Check out growmua5 on youtub, he gas some great videos up explaining it all...
By no means am i an expert but from all my research overer the last few months this seams to be the way to go IMO...

Around $800-$1000
Hi GrahamGreen (no relations...lol)
I use 4 - Mars Hydro II 400 series LEDs and love them. Assuming you're talking American $ the 800-1000 was about what spent.
I responded to a thread in this forum and added some pictures so cnile could see some of what my LEDs produced for me. This should take you to that thread...
What are good LED - How much

Bridgelux Vero 29 with Meanwell hlg-240h-c2100 driver.
One driver drives 3 COBs. Output is 30000 lumens at 150 watts (actual consumption) with dimming and overdrive capabilities.
3 of these will outperform a 600w HPS.
Video is proof.

Way overkill but cheaper than you can buy and 100% to your liking.
And having the dim option is great.

You guys will have to explain some of the acronyms. Such as COB. Just trying to remember the difference between PAR and Lumens right now lol. Don't have my handy book with me at the moment.

COB = Chip On Board.
It's 50+ LEDs mounted on a board. You can see the individual diodes on the COB in this picture.

Cree can suck it until they bring their prices down. The Bridgelux tests better PAR and higher lumens with 97% efficiency at 20% less cost. The Citizen tests about the same as the Top Cree chips and is half the price of the Cree CXB.

Mars are good lights for their price the mars 2 700s are pretty solid lights. The 1200s are probably a bit better but they are beastly heavy things
