The panel I'm running was $325 IIRC 120w actual 600w equivalent. I'm still flowering under HPS tho. I'm going to try my first LED flowering experiment next week,.... so, sometime in January I'll know which is better, LED or HID. Well better for me anyway.

As for positioning you lights,... I'd say right over the top until they get big, then you'll need to start thinking about side lighting.


Here's a pic of a rig I slapped together today to add some side/bottom lighting for my flowering room
