Best lights of today

Hi All ,
Thinking of renovate all lights system ,
Honestly I’m old fashioned and I run multiples HPS and MH from 600w to 1000 …
Since at the end of all discussion I understood old HPS are still the best compromise between power and initial cost and furthers problem.
There’s anyone that feels I’m wrong ?
IN United States I see u use a lot of led ,
So my question is :
Looking for save some electricity,have a big output and lumens and still have big powerful colas, what is the best ?
( without spending 1500$ each lamp )
Thanks thanks
Hard question I would say …

Talking about this ?
U get the point , I was thinking of these .
But, are really comparable to a 1000hps ?
I spent years ago good money on ufo led …
I can’t even re-sell cause nobody want them , and work like shit ! I mean my 1000w HPS break the ass , so , I’m looking for similar result and all the convenience of a led ,
If someone want to spend few words I’ll be thankful !

Prices are sooooo much different ,
Between led and led …

In conclusion :
Do U think led wins against old school HPS ?

Watch bruce bughbee you tube on lights
I will say from research that the halides are horrible and in efficient. Halides are 30% blue well blue will make your plants smaller. I run sodium’s in flower. Price wise Leds cost are a lot more electric wise leds are more efficient although compare running sodium’s on 240 volts vs that Diablo listed above. Actually the sodium draws less at 240 volts…:v:t2:

Thanks ,
I watched all the video of prof.Bugbee ,
Maybe I understood wrongly from him , but after all his measuration looks like he prefer HPS ,also because the lights spread everywhere in a more consistent way…
