2018 light efficiency ultimate battle

Im doing some tests on cheap LED strips, after reading the Samsung LED chip everyone seems to use, is from 2015.
Figured due to the price of LED “Grow lights”, I would see how far China is with copying them. I am mainly aiming to use LED for veg!
Im used to HID lights, and my flower room is running 2x 600 Watt HPS.

Im doing a flower test on my LED’s, just to see what the GPW will be like on these Ebay DIY lights.
My location requires the heat from HID lights, I fear with LED in my flower room. I would need to heat it, most of the year and only benefit from them 3 months during summer.

I plan to change my HPS lights to CMH’s, and remove my cooltubes. To save money on wattage in flower, and keep the better pennetration you get from HID.

Unless my LED test blow me backwards, and it so effective that it won’t matter that I need to heat the room. I still got my reservations, but I have to say LED have come a long way!
