Thank you, @rooted. Yeah, @dequilo’s T5 - LEDs do look like a great option and very well priced!
Thank you, your input is appreciated!,

Thank you ALL for your input, recommendations/suggestions and comments! They are greatly appreciated!
After having done some preliminary research (subject to change 
), I am leaning towards @Bammer1082’s recommendation. The MARS HYDRO TS 1000W LED Grow Light.
Besides satisfying my lighting requirements, and gets me into a LED setup, it also fits nicely above my Cloning Machine which is 23-1/2 inches x 28-1/2 inches. And, it’s priced right at $159.99.
Seeing the results others are getting with this setup would be fantastic and help solidify my tendency towards the purchase of it.
Can anyone point me in the direction of this LED light in use, possibly?
Thank you ALL, and especially @Bammer1082 for this specific recommendation!! 
You ALL are amazing!

I did find one review, undated. This gentleman seems pretty impressed with it!

While I have never done a deep dive in all of the acronyms, PPE/PPFD etc… and more. I don’t think at this stage in my abilities I need to know that information. I can interpret someone else’s review of those details. This fellow seems pretty impressed. 
Other real life situations would benefit me and others looking in if anyone finds any

I am liking the ts1000 so far. Performance for price is in the sweet spot.
I just got mine a few weeks ago and I’m using it for veg growth for two dwc buckets before they go into my larger tent. Lights up my 2x4 nicely.
If your planning on cloning with it the driver is on the top and is easy to dim the lamp so the clones will root and not grow. Surely beats the blurple leds of the past.
Let me know how it goes for you!
I’ll find a link to some ppfd reviews too. Theres a few guys on YouTube who do a great job explaining and reviewing different lamps.
It’s not top end, but the value for your dollar is there!

I love my ts1000, I used 2 on a light mover over a 5x3 area and yielded about 350g, but I feel I was actually too close. T5’s were on for a cool pic
Just got this little cutie to put over my cacti…

Taken with my galaxy s8. The real close ups I have a handheld magnifier I just hold as an extra lense

That’s an interesting technique. It works quite well!
I have the Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G. I hope to get pictures at least equal to yours. They truly are exceptional.
Beautiful!

Yeah, it magnifies/focuses right in front of the camera and makes the background blurry, like an old-school SLR camera would do. I noticed it by trying to take trichrome pics. Its just a dollar store magnifying lense on a handle…
Oh, and dry coffee filter to clean your lenses.
And lots of thanks

I’m having a bit of trouble navigating this site. I went to the “Activity” tab on your handle page. Nothing stands out as a “Grow” thread.
Do you have a grow thread here that you can point me to? Not only to see your grow but also your photography.
I apologize in advance for my ‘NOOB’ OG abilities. I’ll pick it up in time…
In my own defense, I’m busier than an one legged man in a ass kicking contest! 
What I see of yours in this thread is !

AH! Thank you ever so much, @Seamonkey84 !
That was extremely helpful!
I’m on a PC. It’s a bit different than your screengrab. The layout is different. The guidance was the same. You got me where I need to be! Thank you!
Here’s what I see, and which may be helpful to others on a PC…
I also really like that aspect of this site, among many others.
Thanks, Seamonkey, sincerely!
