My question/request: can those with experience in the field (big fan of weezard and oldmac) please suggest a few if the most reliable companies to purchase ready-made LED setups.

FYI I have done a fair amount of research over the last year on the topic, have dabbled with discount LED products, know enough about the spectrum requirements and so on to comprehend an intelligent conversation about the topic but am nevertheless very skeptical of most of what is claimed by companies trying to sell their products. I rely now on human-to-human dialogue. Money is not an issue. Well it is, but I am unwilling to save it in this area. I know that oldmac uses TI Problooms but perhaps there us something better out? I'd like a few suggestions if possible in case the distributor can't ship to my address.

Some possibly useful bits of information about my potential setup:

-4'x6' flowering area
-sog setup. Plants finishing at app. 18".
-my issue is heat and NOT power consumption. Therefore anything up to 1k watt consumption for the LEDs is fine.
-my budget is about $2,000 for the lights. Yes, I own a credit card

Thank you kindly in advance for helping me sift through all the bs advertising out there. I'm looking for suggestions from a few respected members here at cancom but will happily take all non spam suggestions.
Greetings McNasty.

Wondered what happened to ya after the "cops outside the house" shutdown.

Leds are prolly the best choice if it was heat that drew unwelcome attention.
Or, if you pay too much for electricity.

For the size room you describe, you might want to talk to str8outtaweed 'bout da Wx450 lights.
They look pretty good to me. as a spectator.

You probably already know that I'm a fan of high wattage emitters.
They are less efficient in $:lumens, but the budding results speak for themselves.:thumbsup:

There's a company called Eclipse that is working on a light based on my design, but I doubt that they have a marketable product just yet.
I'll prolly endorse it when they do finish testing.imp:

Wish I could be more help, but the only commercial units I've used, albeit briefly, were some knock-off UFO kine.
I was less than impressed, but the guy I purchased them for, is tickled pink.
He brought me a bud from his last harvest under them and it had me grinnin' all day!:jointsmile:

If ya don't mind, I'll hang out and watch.

Aloha,
Weezard
