Lighting Lighting question from a newbie

[Magic]

hi guys, wondering if i could get some help please. i just ordered this L.E.D a few days ago
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/led-...h-quality-with-3years-warranty/706374330.html
a close family memeber told me its was probley the best i could get under $200
but i was planing on getting a cfl also. i was looking at this one since i seen a few people have used it in their own grows

My Question is, how would you guys sets these up? Do i put them right next to eachother?, or do i put one on each side and agle it inward over my plants?

Lastly would it be better to get two 85-100w cfls and have the two on each side with the L.E.D in the middle hangign over my plants?

my grow space is a closet, it is decent size i plan on cutting the space down to about 31x31x152cm. if you need to know more please ask.

the led panel i am not familar with, looks like drop shipped from china spectrum is ok, dont no how reliable it is. you would run your cfl's closer to the plant's within a few inch's the led about 16 to 18 inch's during veg and around 6 inch's in flowering. to have three would be ideal put the led in the middle the more light the better!:smokebuds:

Hi I believe you are better of ordering a led that is using some newer technology than some medium led and cfl combo
Specialy will get cramped in such small cabinet, you also want to add some extraction etc..
So better to cancel order and get some newer type of led light!

wow speedy replies thats awsome! ok is there any thoughts on L.E.Ds that are in my price range that are more reliable? i think i need about 400w for my area, anyway to equal that and spend less than $250? that would be the total L.E.D and CFLs included.

Sweet! looks like i have a better starting point now. i just emailed Aliexpress to cancel my order, thanks for the heads up SG. thanks for the link TaNg. before i commit to getting a blackstar, can anyone give me a quick summary of which is better Blackstar vs Apollo series? thanks for the info i am off work today so i will be spending alot of time on AFN reading thru posts and researching lights. ive grown before along time ago and it was backyard dirt weed, but it was before kush hit the streets in huge quantities so it was average at the time, so im excited to see how it turns out with name brand seeds and indoor conditions.

for low budget's i also use and recommend blackstar's and buy them from gotham if your in the state's. there are better panel's out there, i am going by your price mentioned $200.00 dollar's or so.: we have a led section you can scope out the one's that have many proven grows, to back up the
claim's. i use lighthouse blackstar's and get them from gotham in ny there is a link in the blackstar thread.:smokebuds: if you want better panel's start looking at grow northern or the magnum+ serie's or solorstorm. you will shell out the buck's:
