A grand for both, plus 210.00 shipping..Pricey but it'll payoff in time.
The big bonuses for me would be, never having to battle with temps in warmer months ever again or having to worry about an unexpected house fire.

I've been rocking the 600w and 400w lumateks and ushio bulbs for years,very nice set up..But its time for a change.

I'm really curious to see what leds can do first hand.

Yea i think you will love them..low heat and sound.watts.not too heavy ..as long as they have a good spectrum. You should copy the GN spectrum or close to it as i get great results from it and i know most of those places say they will do that if you ask.

Warning: Bysen will not back my warrantee.

I have purchased 3 led lights from Bysen. Initial order was for a 6 spot unit and a 9 spot unit. These lights were the 6 band lights with the "Hydrogrow" spectrum using the X2 lenses. Aside from 2 broken cooling fans these lights have performed satisfactorily. The 3rd light purchased was a 4 spot. It was to be the same as the 1st two lights. 6 band X2.

What I received was a 5 band X3 light that had been modified to contain the sixth band. The light had a 540 nM led added in the center position. By direct comparison with the 1st two lights the 4 spot did not produce the 6 band outputs.

In other words, the 4 spot light was not an X2 lens 6 band light. The modification Bysen had made was not functional. The actual build architecture was a non-standard 5 band light.

When notified of the inop of the light Bysen replied that it had passed QA and therefor there was nothing wrong with the light and no warrantee service was available.

However they were willing to modify the light, at extra cost, to conform to the model I ordered.

If you choose to purchase Bysen products be aware that their ability to provide warrantee support for myself was poor.

That's a shame mate,if you order a 6 band LED that's what you should get. I don't see why it passing a QA makes any difference as its not what you ordered.
However iv edited your post a little as claiming they wont provide support for anyone is not true bud,so iv added the word 'my' to the title and 'for myself was poor' to the end of your post as this is about your experience dealing with them :thumbs: we have some very happy members using bysen LEDs and they have had a good experience in dealing with them,are very happy with product & service they got,and they have had support after the fans needed replacing etc.

Well, I received 2 Cidly Apollo 6's last Monday and so far they're rockin it. The little girls absolutely love em. I'll start a journal with my next grow -- possibly in conjunction with an integrated LED unit that I've been coveting (need... more... light!!!). I don't have a good setup quite yet for a proper evaluation of the lights and all the plants come from different homes with different baggage (nute burn, not enough nutes, spider mites). I should be running a cannabis halfway house!

Right now I've got three plants enjoying the sunshine (Obama ready to flower, Black Kush and a 2 week NL auto). Under the lights I have another Black Kush that's about 3 weeks to flower, Medicine Woman, The White and a Granddaddy Purple and they're all doing really well in their new environment. The three younger ones are about 1 1/2"-2" taller since the Apollos arrived with good node spacing at the new stems. The Black Kush is a stubby little thing that's exploding sideways.

Regarding the quality of the light I'm pleased. The 90 degree lens is a good compromise between intensity and spectrum blending. The heat sinks are large, the fans are more than adequate and the unit is solidly built. Nothing cheap here except maybe the hanging unit which I replaced.

Based on just one week of observation I'm pleased with the direction of the grow. A few photos showing one light and the intensity it gives at 12". The outdoor shot is the "Obama" which I'll likely finish under one of the Apollos once I switch to flowering. Maybe I'll have a mini journal for that.

Thanks to everyone for the much needed advice.

Good stuff mate,glad your happy with your product :smokebuds:

 

[DABaracuss]

Wish we could get a ratio or something of good and bad ones from china its hard to fallow from day to day to me lol Could just be me im baked too.

What do u guys think of this spectrum.getting awfully short plants lately. Supplementing with cool white cfl now.

 

[Red eyed c]

Its hard to work out what spectrum you have from a pic mate,what did you order? What degree lenses do you have? Raising your led hight will encourage the plant to stretch.:smokebuds:
