This whole thread is confusing to me. These seem like very basic questions coming from someone who has a logo for a genetics company for their avatar and they don't seem to be listening to any of the advice they are being given. I stopped trying to help because they are just ignoring the warnings myself and others are giving them.
Let's be fair here; people can know their genetics and how to pop beans inside and out and not know much about the technology of growing. Then there's me, the exact opposite; I have shit luck with seeds and I've never crossed a strain but I know the tech side very well indeed.
Probably the same junk just a different color. I wonder why they only have 16 reviews on Amazon.
Here's the problem with no name LED lights from overseas; it may work and it may not. It might give out after a week or a month. It might not have what it is advertised to have. What's your recourse? Jack shit, because the company is overseas.
I'd look around this site a bit. He's good people and good products for good prices.

Yea, that's comparable in price point.
Notice how they aren't using a brand name driver? That's a huge red flag. The driver is one of the most important parts of the light. I would also recommend checking out GrowdaddyLED. The only thing I would recommend, if you do, is to make sure you tell him you want an "AB" of "B" driver so you can easily dim the light with a potentiometer. Dimming a driver using the on-board pot is a pain in the ass because they are really sensitive. I've built 3 lights with his kits and have no complaints. You can also source all the parts and build your own from a place like digikey but it's more expensive. If you really want to keep the cost down then building your own light is a better way to go than buying these cheap Chinese lights off of Amazon.
I'd get the R-spec for all around performance. Blooming under high Kelvin temperature lights tends to be disappointing.
I agree with that I love my Rspecs
