I have been doing a few side by sides with selected brands of LED, too many to test them all.
The photos show some of them. The second photo has the Dwarf Star on the right puts out 237 watts and is under $400. The Black Dog on the left puts out 400 watts for $1200. The Platinum brand in the center is not recommended. The Advanced 400 in the first photo needs 27 inches distance from the plant tops, hard to fit in a tent.
There are two Dwarf Stars in the bud room so if the plant gets too tall the tip can be positioned between the units and not burn.

The Black Dogs are more powerful and one would be enough light but at $1200 per unit versus $400 the Dwarf Stars will grow more per dollar.
