Advanced Platinum Series P150 150w 12-Band LED Grow Light - Dual Veg/Flower Full Spectrum

I bought one of these after much research and all I can say is I love it!! The customer service is top notch and the product itself is excellent and is sturdy and well made and uses the best diodes! I'm using the scrog technique and this works very well, so well that I'm buying another one!!! No other company will give you a 90 trial and no other company will give you 5 years warranty either! This is no cheap Chinese rubbish and is the price is excellent compared to other high end l.e.d's. P.s the fans are whisper quiet compared to other lights that I've seen! P.p.s unlike a lot of reviewers I've been using this light for nigh on 3 months and I'm telling you it works!!

I own 4 of these and they're ok for vegging but thats it. Their claim that this light matches a 250w hps is ridiculous, I would say closer to what they actually draw which is 87w. This light is no more efficient than a hps, I would only recommend using it if you have heat problems (not space as you have to hang these quite high) but you can find just as good led's for half the money and their claim "We use top bin LEDs from quality US manufacturers such as Bridgelux and CREE to help ensure maximum output" is a complete con really and clever wording with the "such as" every unit I have has a slightly different colour and different brightness on different bulbs so I suspect the bulk of the led's they use are in fact from China and one unit even has completely different sized lenses lol. Get yourself a california lights works, spectrum king or kind led unit they make these look ancient and actually live up to the hype and If you don't have the money marshydro is your best bet.

The product and LED lighting as a whole definitely fills a roll but I don't think it's quite the one that everyone was hoping for. First off let me say that the light is fantastically well made and is undoubtedly one of the better LED lighting systems available. The light emitted is intense enough that it doesn't cause etiolation if the plant is directly under the fixture; however the cone of light emitted is considerably narrower than that of an CFL or HPS set up and as a result I found the usable area underneath the LED fixture to be considerably less than any CFL or HPS of an equivalent wattage for any given height. However, that said the LED fixture gives off almost negligible heat and in an average sized room we're talking an ambient increase of perhaps 1 or 2 degrees Celsius above average. For propagation and cloning the light is more than enough and this is where I feel LED is the clear winner, a seedling isn't going to benefit from an increase in wattage anywhere near as much as a fruiting plant and with this in mind a 150w LED is a nice cheap option that will allow you to germinate/graft/clone year round. If you're after fruit, anything that's in a pot bigger than 9 - 11cm's and is firmly in the veg or flowering stage the light is simply not going to cut the mustard. The plants will become stressed and whilst you'll get fruit, the yields will be meager and growth will occur at a snails pace. Salad and herbs are no problem however and one of these babies (150w) set up right will provide you with a near endless supply, year round, for about 50p a day in costs.

This is an excellent product, the light is truly well made. Temperatures stay down in the growth tent, and so, the humidity is easier to keep in over 50%. Veg/Bloom switch is very handy, as only Veg mode is enough during vegetative phase and saves a lot of electricity. I had one P450 and two P150 in a 1mX1m space and and the lights were powerful enough to give very good yield. P150 in veg mode works perfectly for clones too. PlatinumLED customer service has been top-notch also. Thank you!

Fantastic build quality. As soon as I opened the package, I knew I didn't make mistake, let alone plugging it in. I bought recently Galaxy hydro 300w unit for supplemental lightning, but the p150 seems to be much brighter drawing about half the wattage, so I'm committed to these lights and hopefully will replace my current 400w hps light soon with mor of these. Again, superb quality and the heat sink is full length of the board and 3cooling fans ( which I was a bit sceptical about, after my Chinese product mentioned above that is super noisy) running so quiet, I can barely hear it. The unit stays cold actually, while running 12 h. I think these lights are assembled in China, but diodes and design are American. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I think I read it in my research I did before I bought this. Nothing wrong with that. Mind when you first plug the cable into the unit, it goes all the way thru and stays well connected, just need bit extra push. Thanks for reading, I wish I could benefit from such a good review, but product like this deserves it, or a company...

Bought two of these lights as an upgrade to 2 Roleadro 300w £89 I was already using. Had all four lights running over plants in the same area. Also used the Platimun light over my cuttings. The cuttings light produced very poor results. The cuttings all grew leggy, despite the light being lower than recommended, and I wouldn't use it again for that purpose. The comparison between the different led units used in the same area was interesting. The platinum lit plants grew leggier and less bushy or sturdy, but the flowers and fruits were slightly larger and more advanced. The Roleadro lit plants were denser/bushier and the flowers and fruits slightly slower to develope and were initially slightly smaller, but given an extra week of lighting caught up and again were slightly denser/heavier. The platinum build quality is very good, however the power cables on both mine knock out easily and appear to be slightly loose when connected. I don't have a problem with the noise. I have just bought some more Roleadro 300w units, as on balance they suit me better. I may buy another Platinum and do a proper, separate comparison between the two makes if I have the spare cash in future. Unfortunately the price difference (£89 v £169) is a major factor given no major improvement in flower/fruit quality or quantity using the more expensive units. Both makes used very similar amounts of electricity.

Considering the specs these are genuinely good lights and perform better than the pointlessly wasteful chinese branded panels. I would suggest upping to the 300 for flowering anything beyond one plant though.. produces very very little heat and very stout healthy seedlings/cuttings.. A great warranty as well.

ok, not cheap but you do get your moneysworth. I bought this to aid in my small 6` x 4` greenhouse because of low light levels so far this year. An excellent American product. Built like a brick toilet, a lot of thought has been put into this range of lighting aids. This basic unit, as with the larger units in the range contains only led`s which promote growth and flowering, no white led`s which most of the other manufacturers include in theirs but which are of no use at all for plants. I spent over an hour researching online for the best unit for me. I conclude that I`ve made the best choice. I think that in a larger greenhouse a bigger unit(s) would be needed, certainly for use over winter. Delivery was very good, arriving a day earlier than expected and courier was very polite. I`m happy to recommend this product. Glynn
