Best LED light search 2014

As you all know, the LED lighting craze is still in ful effect now. We see numerous new LEDs released almost at a monthly basis and they make astounding claims of “our brand is better than other one” or the infamous: “better than HPS”. But with all these companies claims is ture? I see alot of complaints. People not getting the promised PAR, units using cheap parts and chipsets, faulty units losing half their array in a period of months (most sites claim the LEDs have a lifespan of 50,000 hours) and of course, clone units.

I have been researching LEDs since last year and have found what I believe to be the best on the market right now. My question to you is: which one would YOU choose and WHY? Heres the list :

1.255W ChloroBA C2 LED Grow Light
The Chloroba C2 is the most poplular product in 2013, and it still become the great search grow light in 2014. They have astounding PAR and have the ability to grow lovely, dense flowers flooded with crystals. The only drawback is the price is steep (as with most quality LEDs) but i would need either one of these or two of the next size down to accomidate my space. Still a beautiful light and the company seems very helpful in dealing with customer’s needs.

2.California Lightworks Products : SolarStorm
The Solatstorm is IMO the “king” of LED lighting. Why? Because it uses 5W chipsets. Most great LEDs use 3W chipsets but this one uses 5W. Also, the heat sinks, overall design and addition of UVB t5 lighting make this beast quite LED. California Light Works really raised the bar with this unit. Ive only seen one userwho uses these LEDs but he swears by them and their company and i trust “the dude” (his name i cant remember how to spell so just going off of AVI). The only drawback i can think of is that its a little taller than most units in its class which really isnt a horrific drawback at all unless you have a very limited amount of space. This light is just such a tank amd seems very well built and engineered from the inside out.

3.Cree Chips Helios H158D Grow Lights
The Helios series still popular between growers. H158D is became the most popular model with high quality cree chips and the professional design. And this model is suitable for many people who just need little light cover.

All of these led grow lights incorperate 3W chipsets or higher. They are all around $1000-1,300 and all seem to use quality parts. I’m not sure if I would go with anything else as alot of LED panels and UFOs just dont cut it in comparison to these three. If you have any LED lights you are willing to share or post info on then be my guest but we are looking for quality here. I hope this helps anyone in the same conundrum as myself and i cant wait until i can get a hold of one to run test with.
