i looked at this thread and maybe its me buts its more confusing and jumbled seems they are saying the black star are from china and u can order them cheep from china ..im not sure but i didn't see any direct place for any deals there just more confusion lol ty..its crazy i was trying to study lights for a month and there is led,hps,mh,plasma,cfl,duel spec mh 400/600 hps in one bulb,just so much scams and fake lighting vids ..i would like to go with led to keep down power cost but if i must ill go with the old standard.Seems like people with leds have 3 and 4 of them for 1 grow. I cant aford that right now ...might can swing 2 if any of the china ones pan out not very sure .

Anybody know what kind of LED can I get for under $250 for a small 2x2x4 "Stealth as possible" cabinet? Been looking but everything seems to be $400 - $500+ Most I see are in the thousands... :no: Here are some pics from when I 1st put the cabinet together around Christmas time & the changes I've made since.... added lights and a bigger pump.. cust some exaust hole up top... things like that.

Thanks Bro... that is the exact one I was just looking @ on ebay, someone else just recommended it as well.. Just $45 bucks outta my price range currently... just need to wait a couple of weeks and get the extra scratch together... sounds like it will be worth the wait!! We'll see if I can talk the wifey into it for V-Day... coming up!!

I went with china induction from Riant lighting.
468$ Total for a 400w grow light and reflector.

(I should have bought it with no reflector an saved a hundred an DIY my own for 368$.)

Looks Like a t5 on steroids. 4x4 coverage , little heat , incredible bulb life.

UPDATE so im so happy with this site...have learned so much all i want to do is promote this site to everyone that is cool..SO as im building my parts list so far i have 4x4x5 tent 2 Grownorthern m006 leds,smart pots,loop, fans,root heater , now looking up Nutes think ill go with pro mix or foxfarm for soil then on nxt grow do a dwc. Was going to get the Numark NX7 dj setup but looks like ill put that money into my grow room so that adds another 600 so maybe spend 1000 or 800 then get my dj stuff after first harvest

I think you should check out the grow northern site i talked to Jeremy there and there lights are future proof and great price plus i think that company is fast becoming the light of choice for AFN..get in on the GN club now plus i bet if u let them know u are a ATF member they will hook you up with a good price,,pay lil more get better everything ..i looked at both lights and for the price the GN just give you better piece of mind better quality grows .

Well looks like the tax return will be here on the 7th and got my GN light price for 2,3,4 lights..not very much savings and shipping to the states ..also not sure if i should build a 5x5 room or buy a tent..i want a tent im lazy lol 5x5x6 is what i need anyone know a good quality vendor or brand? Im getting so pissed i may make a standard email for US led lighting Comp. and make them make lights for me here that dont cost more and do less or the same job as china ones.The more i shop the sadder i get that few things are made home and no one is even trying

I'm still looking for a UFO type LED.. dont think I need too much... I think 120W should be plenty for 1 plant in 2x2x4 cabinet, with some supplemental cfl lighting on the side. you thinkg?
