NOTE: The Mars Hydro Reflector Series has been discontinued. They were replaced by Mars' far better TS and SP Series lights. Those are quantum style white LED fixtures. Mars no longer sells any "blurple" LEDs. If you want a "blurple" light, the BestVA Double Chip series are the best option. Mars Hydro lies.

BestVA LED Grow Light Review (Double Chip Series)
BestVA LED grow lights are not as powerful as they claim. Let's get that out of the way immediately. Like all Chinese manufacturers, BestVA are not honest about their light. I don't know why all Chinese brands do this, but I find it extremely frustrating. Especially because the lights are often very good. These certainly are. They're just not as good as … [Read more...] about BestVA LED Grow Light Review (Double Chip Series)
Galaxyhydro 600 (Now Roleadro 2000) LED Grow Light Review
Galaxy Hydro is no more. The company was bought up by Roleadro. Thankfully, they kept some of the lights alive in their Galaxyhydro Series.

While it is true that this light can't match the top brands, it still does surprisingly well. If you take the price into consideration, it may actually be a better … [Read more...] about King Plus 1000 Watt LED Grow Light Review
Advanced Platinum Series LED Grow Light Review
Advanced Platinum LED grow lights enjoy a stellar reputation, but cost less than other top lights. Are these lights really as good as they say or is it just a bunch of marketing hype? After an extensive review, I've learned that the answer isn't that easy. There is definitely some hype and also some misleading information provided by the manufacturer (unfortunately … [Read more...] about Advanced Platinum Series LED Grow Light Review
